Statement of Sergeant R. Bryan to the Major and Superintendent of Police
Sergeant Bryan provides a statement regarding the actions of Mrs. Minor Morris during a recent incident at the White House. When Sergeant Bryan became involved, Mrs. Morris had already been escorted to the guard room. She was “very much excited and demonstrative,” insisting that “Roosevelt will be glad to reinstate my husband.” Bryan tried to calm her but to no avail. On being escorted to a cab by other officers, Mrs. Morris resisted and sat down, so the officers had to use some force to get her in the cab. Bryan identifies the officers involved as Frech and Murphy, Sergeant Gallaher, and Captain Thomas Stone, chief usher.
