284 Office Asst Coms'r. B.R.F. & A.L. Mont. Ala. M'ch 2, 66 Col G.D. Robinson Supt R.F. & A.L. Mobile Ala Colonel; I was at Demopolis last week and there heard the facts in the Jenkins case. There is no doubt in the minds of the officers there that the two men who you have in charge committed the murder and that Jenkins was accessory to it in fact the instigator. Maj Pierce will be here in a day or two. I will have him make charges and forward them to you. The two men with Jenkins should be kept in confinement as they have no responsibility and would most probably forfeit their bail if they had an opportunity. Jenkins I think can safely be allowed his liberty on bail. Very Respectfully Your Obt Servt A.A.G. Office Asst Coms'r. B.R.F. & A.L. Mont. March 2d 1866 Col G.D. Robinson Supt &c Mobile Ala Colonel; The affidavits sent up in the case of the claim of Frazier for the iron in charge of the Bureau do not prove that Frazier owns the property. 285 At this distance however I cannot decide on the matter. I think that the iron should be sold and that Mr F. if his claim is of any consequence should prefer it before the Treasy Dept. Please lay such information as you have before Gen Woods and act as he decides in the matter. Very Respectfully, Your Obt Servt A.A.G. Office Asst Coms'r. B.R.F. & A.L. Mont. M'ch 3d 66 R.W. Russell, Esq'r. J.P. Lowndes Co Ala Sir; Your communication of the 16th ult was received this A.M in which you state that you have decided that the claimants, George. Dick & others should have the stock, and asking for the opinion of the Asst Coms'r in the matter. Your action is approved by him & you will please carry out your decision. The appeal of Genl Bragg was received also but the decision of the Asst Coms'r is not changed thereby. Very Resp'fy Your Obt Servt Bt Col & A.A.G. Office Asst Coms'r. B.R.F. & A.L. Mont. M'ch 3d 66.
