Now that is unjust and untrue, and I shall be glad when the facts in the matter are brought to ight, which will prove Gig malay ct such charges. hays gone my wale duty ip this case, from the day that Mr. Kellogg came into my office wringing his hands QRIING LIKE A CHILD, and claiming that his prosecution was infamous, that Mr. Merrick was hounding him through per- sonalenmity. Ididn’t know then that there were any. proceed! st him, but I assured him fat he should not be prosecuted on any personal grounds. Isubsequently saw Mr. Bliss about the Matter. Upon his representation that he (Bliss) ‘was the active one, and that Mr. Merrick had noth- ing todo withit, gave directions that Mr. Kel- logg should be ‘prosecuted the same as anybody else, without fearor favor, and without any ele- ment, of personal prosecution. Now see what _fol- lowed. I have been told, and I now believe that there was undue haste in preparing and present- tng the case against Mr. Kellogg, and that it was resented in such a shape as to be entirely rejected By tne grana lury in the first instance, and in con sequence of whic! ‘the second grand jury, who had been adjourned, was again convened at the {nstance of counsel.” ~ sOn whose part Was the undue haste?” asked the reporter. ‘twas, ‘to me,” sald the Attorney Gen- eral, “that Nr. Bliss was extremely anxious to finish with the case, and urged its immediate pre- sentation, but in any event no presentment was made. Mr. Walsh then left and could not be found.” ‘WALSH AND BLISS. “why did he disappear?” asked the reporters “I don’t know of my own knowledge,” sald the Attorney General. “Mr. Walsh says it was because 80 long as Mr. Bliss was in the case he was satisfied {that there would be no honest _atvempt to convict, He belleved his own testimony would be questioned and himself slandered, and he did not care to ap- ‘any longer as an instrument for Insincere men. Blewasinadetobelieve, too, by somebody that 1 was Hostile to him, which was hot 80, for I didn’t know him. At any rate, when he learned that Mr. Bliss ‘was no longer in the case, and recelved word from me that his presence was necessary, he came with- out hesitation from Canada, where ‘he had gone to avold process. But to go back. At the time the Jury refused to present it was stated that ‘ellogg received compensation as a Senator in vio- Jation of law on a certain date, July 18th, 1879. _Be- fore a third grand jury could be convened the stat- ute of limitations would run against the offense of recelving the notes and other securities that, were given by Mr. Price to Mr. Kellogg. It the government had abandoned the case on that Score there might have been an ex- ense for insinuations of connivance, be- cause 1t was charged boldly that the refusal of two Juries to present was deaignedly procured by e representatives of the government. The gov- ernment felt in duty bound to continue the prose- cution, and there was only one way to dot; that ‘was to present the case to another Jury to test in court the question whether the date of the receipt of the compensation was the date on which Gfafta were turned over to the defendant, or ‘whether it was the date on which the money for ‘Uhose drafts was paid him. ‘There was no decision on this point it was s duty to have it decided in court. ‘Tie court held that the date of the re- celpt of the drafts was the day when the offense offense, a8 DI within the provisions of statute of Umitations, and the case Was very prop- dismissed, Mr. Ker was wrong when he apolo- glzed in court for the insertion of the date of the BIS INNOCENCE NOT FROVED. “The case was dismissed,” continued the Attor ney General, “but the innocence of the defendant ‘was hot proved.
