 San Francisco, June 25.-Late last night, Former District- Attorney Mo Nab gave out a formal statement in part as follows.
 ss-The President has accepted my res 1Enatfo1 and the incident is closed Even the eminent responsibility of the President and his fulsome but neces- sary certificate of character to his at torney general cannot change the facts The attorney general states that his reasons for continuing the Caminettf- -DigEs eases were that the secretary Of labor desired the presence of Commissioner Caxninetti, the father of one of the defendants. Why, then, did he insist upon continuing the case against the defendant Digs which had -sothing to do with the case of Cam fnetti who was separately indicted! :! why was 1t necessary for MT. Cam inetti to be present at the trial in San Francisco when he was not a witness and when his son was represented by revan eminent members of the Califor- ria bar. one Of whom has since been . indicted for conspiracy to suborn per jury in the same case to save his c1- ent2
 s-rhe excuse given for the continu- ance of the trial of the Western Fuel desendants Is that the attorney gen. eraI. who had had a secret and pr1- xete conference with these defendants and attorney was fearful that they might be convicted and that possibly thev might be innocent If they were 5,,,1rarf ffaevi should have insisted npon being tried If the attorney gen. r,--.1 rar f3ir1s declare men innocent in zrf+a of overwhelming evidence suD- rnttted to two grand 5urdess he can az r~~ilv declare men guilty against whom there Is no evidence

He was informed tnah tnlS @ .nfFs~a would be directly charged WlLn corruption if the eases were postponeuo. o- wien fndinerence to fhe rights of this ssfsce and the honor Of the departrae .5r justice, he continued the cases until autumn
