WINCHESTER, Dec. l6, l942.

 Ar. Ednor-The undersigned has been recently advised by of his friends that the good and oth CT people in Canaan in this county, have attributed to him the authenticity of certain communication, under the signature of "N N" short time since ap- bearing in the Hartford Review, and refiectng upon those, it is said, through whose official agency the recent prosecution against NIT Rockwell for the SUD- posed murder of his brother had been instituted.- Your correspondent, here most emphatically afirms that, in respect to the communication alluded to- he has not the least knowledge by whom It was written, nor had he the slightest agency, either directly or indirectly in inditing publishing it, nor knew any thing ofits existence till he informed of the fact sometime after it's publication. Whatever concep- tons just mind might have of the morality of those who have desgnedly aided in the birth and clrcua- ton of certan rumors unfavorable to the defence, and wholly unwarranted by the evidence disclosed on trial, and of the truth of which on that occasion there was not even a pretence, he would neverthe- less add that, matter of justice to MT. Allen the granduror, your correspondent believes him have been actuaed, in the discharge of his official duty, by principles of strict integrity and furthermore, that the nature of the feeling and excitement there, then entertained and prevalent, required legal in-  vestigation.

 But the integrity. of duty and moral obliga-

 ton of certain other individuals in that section, and elsewhere perhaps, in respect to another matter in measure incidentally connected with that occa- sion, may we'll be questioned. Reference is here made to hose exclusively, chO hGUs gipen origin and currency to rpori inrolUiag csraiE alleged reasons osives by srhch is said, yOGr correspondent induced Co become engaged prefessionaty tn beha c the accused in that prosecution. That report sir is very unjust destitute of all foundation, and is, in every imaginable particular, absolutely and unequi vocally false. It is most miserable gossip which none but the almost irreelaimably morbid, menda- cioas and malevelent could ever. at any time, pOssi bly, have conceived and circulated, or tho equally silly, stupid credulOus and malicious alone, either really or aflee,edly, could have accredited for sim gle moment.
