Mr. Hay to Signor Carignani.

No. 702.]

Sir: Referring to your note of the 30th ultimo in regard to the killing of two Italians at Erwin, Miss., I have the honor to state that I have received a letter from the governor of Mississippi, in which he states that he has communicated to the district attorney the information contained in your note.

The governor adds that a special term of the circuit court has been called by Judge Larkin, to convene in Greenville on the second Monday of September, to investigate the crime.

Accept, etc.,

John Hay.
