Dear Sir,

I presume there is no legal impediment in the way of his lodging an information & proceeding against these parties. I don’t think Ferguson’s conviction inclusive as to the merits of the case, & from Kennedy’s story, it would appear that he was badly used. I think you will be justified in taking his information & hearing the case.
Yours truly,
Charles Hutchinson, County Atty
