that general pierrepont was very active and zealous in the prosecution until babcock was in 1 dieted when his ardor cooled and he began to u use e file filo 0 influence e an and fd power of his office to save saves that geil geri gentleman with this vie nie view w it is as asserted that the attorney general sent for district attorney dyer to comito con ioto loto dyer went wont and while there Pierre pierrepont pont on the plea that it was important and necessary that lie he and the department of justice should know what prosecution would be in the babcock case obtained by the grossest and most inexcusable hypocrisy a detailed statement of all the orai oral testimony against babcock the whole plan of the p prosecution rose cution what he intended to prove by each witness and the order in which he intended to present the evidence this information it is alleged that pier pierrepont pierrepon t made over for the use of babcocki Bab cocks counsel in order to defeat the prosecution and this too with the pren PreA presidents dents and consent storrs senior counsel for babcock remained in washington and whatever Pierrepont obtained from dyer in regard to the caso case ho he first repeated to the president and after consultation with him storrs sto rs got the benefit of all he learned the attorney generals als avs private office was the place where the plans plana to defeat the gov crumett in its case against babcock were matured every night proceeding the time time set et for the babcock trial babcock and porter met pier pierpont pont in his office and closely studied every every point contained in the eviden evidence 4 for corthe tiie government and prepared to overcome it bab babi cock was admitted to conferences between the Pres president idem and pierrepont when the plan pian an was first ar ranged and ohp whenever enever dyer sent any additional evidence to washington storrs was sent for and when the plan of the was fully matured he be was as familiar with it as the attorney himself those familiar with all the circumstances absolve colonel dyer from all cen con censure sure dyer had reposed simplic implicit 1 it confidence in tbt th integrity of had bad been deceived dyer could not be made wad 0 to believe belleve that one of the chief effi cers of the government would yio ylo late his hiis c oath rath of office and disregard his duty hence he accepted pierre ponts ponta pretended interest in a vigorous prosecution as sla sincere cere rud ind lud and eyen even oven relied upon him as his iube iupe superior bior of fleer officer for aid and counsel it is even asserted that while pierrepont was at the outset earnest in the prosecution of the whiskey ring believing it would redound to his credit chief officer of the government he soon found he was overshadowed by bristow t the ibe people and the prosecuting officers giving that gentleman credit for every biow blow struck against the ring this filled pierrepont with envy and he became jealous of Bri stows 18 popularity and joined heart and soul with the graut graat faction and anti bristow combination this gave him tho the first hold on the regard of the president and him to io aid in defeating B rl plans and thus weakening bristow among the people and an the whole administration so he had a purpose in joining in the move to save babcock from he would establish his hia position with grant for the present and future and weaken bristow by making it appear that the indictment of babcock was a scheme to injure grant and advance bris tows political interests why solicitor kimn wilson did no not t warn wara dyer of plan to defeat the prosecution is i explained as coming from wilson wilbon himself that wilson had already been represented as scheming against the president and babcock every act he had performed in ILA the furtherance of his hia duty was wag distorted and borne to grants ears as part of Bristow plan to obtain the nomination forthe for the presidency he had for several months devoted his time almost exclusively to Ao working up the eyl evidence dence against and preparing to convict the leaders of the chicago whiskey ying ring and lie had acquired knowledge know pedge fedge and had arranged plans to this end which made mado it impossible for any other man to slip into hla hia position and carry this out he knew that great pressure was being brought to bear to secure hl hll removal and he wished to avoid avold it until the chicago ringleaders ring leaders were convicted just at this juncture when a warning to the st loula louia prosecution se against the scheme of the attorney general would have proved valuable hedared he dared not inter luter pose lest it inight result in his removal and the escape of the abe whiskey thieves in chicago the secretary regarded him as a feces sity to a successful prosecution of the ring an and d ha haa had ld he undertaken to have exposed Pierre ponts plans h hla hia removal ral tai by would I 1 certainly it binl havo have followed the discore I 1 ery lof lot tibo tibe act besides col dyer dyet P placed a c ed lie the most implicit faith in the professions of pierrepont ent ant and any suggestions as to the attorney generals general scheme against the prosecution might have been resented considerations of this kind prompted Soll solicitor eltor eitor wilson to refrain retrain from giving advice that might have undermined his plan wilson did not farget target that he wrote Hv henderson a letter advising him to keep a detective on babcocki Bab cocks track during his visit in the fall of 1575 1875 and that a copy of that letter was sent bent to the president henderson lost the letter and by some means a copy found its way to the tho white house col dyer and his assistants are fully aware of Pierre ponus ponts treachery now the day babcock was acquitted dyer said publicly that he had bad contended against an element which he was bound at that time to defeat he declined to give any explanation but the fact that his eyes had insl been opened to the element of opposition was evident the article also accuses pierrepont of forthe removal of general Hender
