Cornwell, Frederick L.

Frederick L. Cornwell, an attorney, writes in defense of Judge Willis Sweet against charges that he was a drunkard while Attorney General, that he borrowed money from employees of the Department of Justice, and that he is disloyal to the National Administration. Cornwell states that Judge Sweet does not drink to excess. The money was borrowed to make payments on the San Juan newspaper because members of the cabinet failed to assume their financial obligations to pay. Finally, he is an “honest, faithful and efficient public servant.”
