Mr. Lord gives the circumstances tclnt
Inj; to thioiiin of the letter to the District-Attorneys
at length. He claims that
the letter was not intended to intimidate
witnesses and win wiltten because the
President mid the Attorney-Uciierid were
ieuiouciievoiii.it inain eMinlnals uciu
promised linninnlty from punishment in
case they tcstllled against accused pci
sons, and that b.ir-f-ihu of this kind were
being carried to nnneces.'ary lengths.
As this course did not cotupoii with tliu
President's older to lei no irullty
man escape, the letter was writ
ten nt his suxxctllon. The At
torney General had a copy and the Presi
dent hud a copy. Mr. Pierrcpont :ucei
talned that It was not made public by the
District Aitorneys.bnt that tien. Jlabcock
"or some one for him, who had access to
the President's papers, obtained a copy
of the letter without any knowledge on
the part of the. President, and Ur.it tlio
same, was used in (he manner nowliiinwu
to all." (fen. ilabeoek has ceased his
connection with tlio President as private
secretary and has been transferred to the
po-t of commissioner of public bulldinrs.
Col. Fred Grant, who tilled llabcoek's
place as secretary to the President while
tliu firmer was in St. I.ouN, has been
