W. J. Conkling, Esq.
Springfield, Ill.
Sir:
By direction of the Attorney General I return herewith your letter of the 17th instant.
The case mentioned therein is one that requires the action of the U. S. District Attorney, or the State District Attorney; but the Attorney General has no official connection with it whatever.
Very respectfully yours,
M. F. Pleasants,
Chief Clerk.
