National Archives Gel
Burr Indictment
For Treason
Old Ohio Court Records
Found Too Brittle for
Immediate Study

Records Of one chapter" in the
court proceedings against Aaron
Burr-a batch of musty, brittle pa
pers-were placed in a moist air
vault at the National Archives yes
terday after their arrival from Gin
cinnati, where they have been kept
In Federal Court files for more than
rs years.
The papers, including a treason
indictment returned in 1903 against
the one-time Vice President at Chill
licothe, Ohio, subsequent to his trial
on a similar charge in Richmond,
were transferred here after long in
sistance by Representative William
E. Hess of Ohio.
For several years, Mr.. Hess had
introduced bills in Congress to have
the papers placed in the Library of
Congress. This year, however. after
his bill had been referred to the
House Library Committee, Repre-
sentative Keller of Illinois, men,
ber of the Archives Council, sug-
gested the proper place for the rec
ords would be the National Archives.
Mr. Hess agreed and Archives Off
cials. when informed Of his inten-
tions, explained that congressional
action would not be necessary.
Papers Being Moistened.
On arrival, the yellowed papers.
folded for legal files, were in such a
state of deterioration officials
deemed it inadvisable to inspect
them closely until they have been
moistened to high state of pliabil-
ity and pressed open.
Belief was expressed, however
that several OF the papers penned
during the Richmond trial of Burr
in 1907 probably are in the batch.
An indictment was returned in
Chillicothe, former capital of Ohio,
after Burr and two accomplices had
been acquitted in the Virginia trial.
but the accused statesman-a attorney
xid not appear in Ohio for trial and
left for Europe later in the year.
May Lead to Others.
After the papers have been pressed
they will be placed between trans
parent sheets and in the Archives
files. Arthur E. Kimberly, chief OF
the Division of Repairs and Preser-
vation, said after a preliminary
examination of the papers that
they will be legible almost in their
entirety when the "overhauling
process is completed.
Officials expressed the hope that
receipt of the Ohio records would
lead ultimately to the transfer of
other papers in the Burr treason
and conspiracy cases to the National
Archives. Other records are be-
lieved in old police and court files
in Kentucky and Mississippi, as well
as Richmond.

friends and neighbors - Jimmy
Skunk. He was following Jimmy
all the time trying to keep himself
out, of sight, just to find out what
Jimmy was after. He was poking
that wabbly little nose of his into
affairs which didn't concern him in
the least, and all on account of that
dreadful curiosity which leads him
into so much mischief and trouble.
Jimmy Skunk didn't once look
back. Peter was thankful for this,
because sometimes he couldn't find
anything behind which to hide.
Jimmy went right along in that

every piece of bark or stick big
enough for fat beetles to hide un-

sometimes he didn't. More often
he didn't than did.
But it was clear to Peter that
Jimmy had on his mind something
more interesting that even fat bee
ties. AS he went along he looked
under every bush and behind trees
and logs. At the place where Peter
had told him that he had first seen

spent considerable time looking
about in very direction and exam

Then he went on slowly and care
fully, stopping every hop or two
to sit up and listen.
Looking for someone?" inquired
a voice so near him that Peter
jumped foot in the air. He
turned to find the face of Jimmy
Skunk grinning at him from the
end of hollow log close by the

Peter didn't feel at all comfortable

quite uncomfortable. He had felt
that way before, and each time he
had resolved that he never, never
would feel that way again, because
he never, never again would do any

Peter knew we'll enough that jim

what he kept digging for was more
than Peter could guess. OF course
that made him more curious than
ever. When Jimmy moved on and
Peter reached one of the places
where Jimmy had scooped out a
little earth with his black hands,
he always stopped and examined the
little hole and the ground around
it with the liveliest interest. But
all he discovered was that he was
