Sir: A warrant has been issued by George W. Morton, esq., United States commissioner, against Parker H. French, charged with an offense against the laws of the United States, recently committed. Mr. French claims to be a diplomatic representative of the state of Nicaragua, and the offense charged against him was committed by him since assuming such character. I have to request to be informed of the President’s directions as to whether said warrant should be executed.
I am, with high respect, &c.,
JOHN McKEON,
United States District Attorney.
United States District Attorney.
Hon. Caleb Cushing, Attorney-General.
