WVilson safd a certain distllier had made overtures towards . turning State's evldence, making promises to furnish testimony to conviet the otber distiilers, on terms of eriminal and clvil immunity. Wilson sud the method of fnvestigating ‘the frouds must be left to the Chivayo revenue ollicera and Government counsel, amd If they eaw that It was ue.essary to grant promises of eriminal iInununity 1o order to secure this valun- bio teatimony, the Department at Washington would pronably ratify whatever the Govern: mient conusel, i their wisdom, might decide upon. Thedlstiller referred to wanted an ure clvil and criminal fmmuulty, and the offer on thuse terms was refected, ‘The revelatione, however, were of suen importance that it was deemed ndvisable to send him and Matthews to Wasiidnton. ‘They went, Matthews reported that the terms had been regarded as excrava- guut, and the wholo thing was relegated to the Uoverument - counscl, who final- Iy made a proposition provhling the disttilers shiould ‘make n clean hrenst of it, tell all they knew to the couneel, awl back it up Lefors the Grand Jury, Under these termna, thelr testtmony waa to be taken, one count in the erhninal Mdictments to be dismissed, aml all the pleas in the clvil sui:s wero ta be with- drawn soas to ennble the tovernment (o taky judzment, A subscquent interview was held with Government couneel and Messrs, Smith and Swett, in which It was agreed, In case the testimony proved valitable and the men acted in good falth, no sentence would ever be asked for {n the criminal suits, Judzments In _thy civil sults were to be taken, but no Judginents were to be executed until atter_the concluslon of thecriminal prosocutions.
