' At the right-timeand lie fore tho pioper tribunal wq Ann show: that this is a prosecution of indn entirely lima: cent of the charge brought against' theni, the, infamy or which is only exceeded by its ali t Lurdity, . G. W. Alexander, the late Asses sor for this district, and Rio prosecutor in this case,lignoinfilionslydisidtssed ft.* his office, and standing upon the records tot' the Treasury Department charged with the high est crimes and the most 11 grant'otlieial cor reption, endeavors ,to div„ peblic Mien : tion from his 'own guilt, by 'ns tuting o pros milieu against a large n er 'id' en - on charges whichiwill be proven to be isinton, malicious, end utterly groundless.ss , ' The general charge of the' prosecutes is, that the defendants conspired to, procure his removal from o ffi ce. With this removal, Many of them had no-possible connection, and others barely took that Part in it which their duty as officerof' the Government re• quired. We shall ,defy the prosecutor to ( 11 show that any on noted with malice . ;—on i the contrary, if flips° was an error, ,i t was i on the side of forbearanees: Bo sunny am embraced' in this absurd charge l of conspiracy that the defense will necessarily involve ,a „ . number of facts. It will be shown that, GAY - . Alexander was through* grossly incompetent for the du ties of his place. That he rievor beenniane , quaiiited with the acts of Codgiess, was ig norant of riccounts,untible to write:a respec table Or intelligible letter, that his !manage- . silent of till; °Mee involved oreatly increased expense, and that his utter unfitnesS soon . became so apparent,' that the' Treasury De partment long since 'contemplated sending a clerk to take ohdrge of' the office until a fit • s successor could be appointed, It will by shoWn that instead of attending to the-duties of his office, both ho and his fa vorite friends and assistants,proffaud Dior .et, gave their principal attention to discover- ' big and inventing frauds upon the revenue which would insure to them the moieties al lowed to Wonders. That through the most flagrant perjury of some of these men; inno cent distillers near Hamburg, Borkkounty, were convicted of sin alleged fraud upon the revenues and ruined. That not satisfied with this slow method of adding to their official income,' G. W. Alexander, Groff, and Moret made diSect proposals to a number of distil lers in this county,to unite in defrauding the revenue', .phis proposal was, that less than ono-third of the whisky Thstilled should . be reported for taxation.' That on, the rothain .der, thirty cents per gall n. should ;he paid, to Alexander; Groff and lileret; 'one-half of this to be the share of Alexander, and to other half to be divided between his Me confederates. To maketthis practicable to., distillers, it was proposed to them that their ' tri-mouthlyreturns should be taken out of the • hands of the' division assessors to whom the duty of receiving these proPorly belonged,and that they should pass through the hands of Alexander, isoff or Morel who would certify to their bein sworirtoovitlsout any oath hav ing been in act made by the distiller. To' ? t induce disti less to accede to this plan,' they were septet cdly called upon by Alexander,' Groff and oret s and its feasibility and pro fitableness strongly urged. • • In pursu nee of this plan in one instance,' at the aug estion of Alexander, and under his person 1 superintendence, a reservoir was consist eted under the floor of a rectify ing house, capable of containing three thou sand gallons of whisky. The opening to this was hr the floor of the rectifying house, which opening . was carefully concealed. Alexander—advised the construction 'ofthis reservoir - and saw it while being manufac tured. Ho afterwards visited it, when it was nearly filled with whiskey, gauged its contents, with a :stick, pronounced the, arrangement complete, and suggested the propriety of constructing another reservoir,' of the same sort, after this one-was filled. ,For the whiskey so abstracted he (Alexander) was paid the sum of one thousand dollars in cash, and when asked to pay an old debt' 'out of' the proceeds,. he replied that, the' money must he devoted to paying debts of honor due to friends whom he named, who had advanced money to procure his appoint ment. . It will be further s proved that after this , arrangement, Alexander became very appret ~ hensive.that the distillers might cheat—not 'the government—but hiMself, and .that lie repeatedly visited distilleries, which, lie had nover s rifitted before to ascertain the quantity of whiskey they were Making, being perfectly aware at' the time, that they. were not returning one-third of the quantity , made. -It will be shown that he Set about• cheating his confederates, suggesting that . one-halt to them was too, much. False re turns were made to them by Alexander, as to the money he realised. In illustration of which it will be proved, that when the one thousand dollars were paid to Alexander, by his procurement -but four hundred and fifty dollars were paid to Groff, which ho (Groff) was made to believe was the whole amount realised, and of which Alexander was also to receive one-lia)f. In•addition to these srns, other Tecounts were paid by other disti ers. ' . When these and other f acts became known to the Government , Midi Alexander,: Groff and Moret ageortnined thnt an investigation had taken place,'they and some of their in timate friends became greatly alarmed; held frequent secret consultations, stated a de termination to swear their case throughsiml expressed great solicitude.ai to whether the distillers would stand - Arai. One 'of them stated that if all the Parties would•stand together, ' they could swear theinselves through. , . Warrants having been issued for the ap prehension eAlexaeder, Groff and.Moref, ( if the two liit,t r absconded, and the Govern m&it of fi cerS, after, the most diligent kffortsit have been nable to-arrest them. G. W. Alexander, 'by way of defense, institutes a prosecution against 'all whom hnilliPPcms' had any knowledgeofhisdaings, and against some who bad no knowledge whatever upon' the subject, in the hope of diverting publie attention or closing their months as witnesses againtit him. It is the old trick of the felon, who rushingfrom thescene.of his depresla . tions with the stolen property in his posses sion, is the fi rst and londetit to cry, "stop thief!" - , • ' ' But the effort to shut out testimony, or cast suspicion'epoil witnesses, will be utterly tin availing.,' The anise facts and many •more NM 'squinty `.conclai ref wi 1 twproved, , any' possibility of donbt O V dentel,.by a arts number of wlttiesies.
