The Agent states that there are no charges against the boy, and that he never has had any trial, but was turned over to the au- thorities and placed in prison for safe keeping. It is rei-pect- fully recommended that the attention of the Governor of that state be called to the matter to the end that he may exercise his authority in he release of the young man, should he find on investigation that the facts are as represented.
Very respectfully Your obt. servt.
