The reason it was not paid was because it was ascertained that this John Phillips was not naturalized and. being foreign born. not a citizen. The gentleman from Wyoming introduced the bill and is very familiar with the facts.

After the claimant had recovered this judgment for $2.210. it was found that he was not a naturalized citizen. and that is the reason an appropriation was not reported by the Appropriations Committee to pay the claim.
