J.G. Scott Esq
Dear Sir,

Queen vs Carroll

There has been a sad miscarriage of justice here. No one doubts Carroll’s guilt, not even I am sure the jury who acquitted him. The result confirms the correctness of our contention in favor of a change of venue. [...]It is a most unfortunate business & can not fail to work certain evil & very probably further bloodshed. [...]

Yours very truly,
Charles Hutchinson, Cty Atty
