February 10, 1868 B. F. Penniman, Esq. New York City. Sir: I herewith enclose a copy of our letter of this date to the District Attorney at Boston, in the matter of young Murray. The defendant was probably guilty, but there seems to have been a failure of available evidence, partly in consequence of the pressure of your own private interests. Respectfully, your obedient serv't, John M. Binckley, Assistant Attorney Gen'l.
