Mr. Anthony Comstock, the secretary and special agent of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, has brought an accusation of perjury and embezzlement against Peter R. Carll, United States marshal for the district of Connecticut. Mr. Pierrepont, Attorney General, has written to Mr. Comstock on the subject, in which he says:
"Go to the United States district attorney, Mr. Childs, at Stamford, and present him this letter. Tell him that in addition to the charges you have made other and serious charges have come to this department against Mr. Carll, the marshal. Present all your facts to the district attorney. If they warrant an arrest proceed with promptness and vigor. If any officer of the government has been guilty of frauds in his office he deserves the severest punishment which the law can give. If he is guilty let no favor and no leniency be shown."
