To Recover $40, 900
By the Civil Suits,

Boston, Dec 23.-Criminal proceed
ings against F. Vernon Wiley and
Arthur Saville, charged with conspir-
ing to bring aliens into this country
in violation of the contract labor law,
were withdrawn. today, and civil ac-
ton was instituted for the recovery
of $90,0a0 in penalties. Wiley, son
of Francis Vernon Wiley, formerly
lord mayor of Bradford, Eng, is treas
urer of the Barre Wool Combing Co.
of Barre, Mass, where it is alleged
the aliens were to be employed. Sa-
Vile is a resident of Bradford and is
alleged by the government to have
been employed by the Wool Combing
Co.
In a statement made public, today,
Assistant United States Dist Atty.
William II. Garland said in part:
THE attorney general has author
lied his Office to settle the cases
against F. Vernon Wiley and Arthur
SavilIe through civil proceedings.
There have been conferences between
Mr.. Charles +. Choate, representing
the defendants, Attorney General
Wickersham, Secretary Nagel and
myself. Mr.. Choate claimed that
some of the alleged contract labor
ers arrested under the immigration
acts were entitled to enter the United
States under the provisions of the
immigration act because they were
experienced skilled laborers of kind
the like of which could not be found
in this country at the time when they
We're assisted to come here by Messrs.
Wiley and Saville, and other persons
connected with Francis Wiley & Co.
and the Barre Wool Combing Co. To
this view the attorney general, on
the advice of Secretary Nagel, has as
scented in certain cases.
Nearly all of these We're persons who
were landed and were at work at the
Barre factory before the arrival of a
party who came by the steamer Fran
COMA, July 81 1872, and who have been
since detained by the commissioner of
immigration in this city. OF the lattre
party, all have been determined to be
unslllled laborers. Thirty-four persons
in ali were examined. including those
who we're landed before the arrest Of
Wiley and SaVilIe. of these, Sec. Ma.
gel has advised the attorney genera
that IA belong To the exempt class o
contract laborers, and would have beer
admitted If proper application has
been made to him.
The gist of the offence for which vii
ley and Saville were prosecuted criminal
ly was the assisting of alien contract la
borers to come to the United States by
preparing their passage from England
in violation of Section and Section OF
the immigration act This offence may bt
prosecuted either by criminal or civil
action. The penalty in either case is q
fine of $1,000 for each offence. As the fines
might be collected either by civir or Grim
inaI proceedings. and as the Barre Woo
Combing Co., for whose benefit these Ia
borers We're imported stands ready tG
pay the fines, it seems to the government
advisable and more convenient to settle
the matter by civil rather than by Grim
inal proceedings.
