Nov. 28, 1871. Hon. Geo. P. Fisher, U.S. Attorney, Washington, D. C. Sir: I enclose certain papers sent to this Department by Mr. J. H. H. Woodward, of Louisville, Ky.; and also the copy of a letter from him charging that certain crimes against the United States have been committed by Samuel McKee, formerly a Member of Congress from Kentucky. The charge seems to be that the crimes in question were perpetrated in Washington. I therefore desire that you will look into the case, and if it appears that the allegations against McKee are well founded, that you will institute a prosecution. Very respectfully, A. T. Akerman, Attorney General.
