Letter from Ethan Allen Hitchcock to Theodore Roosevelt
Edward B. Linnen is still under suspension. As Linnen was strongly recommended for his position by Governor Richards, Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock is withholding action until the governor returns from the west. Hitchcock also awaits more information from Washington and Oregon for other investigations, and some of that information will not be available until the trials being conducted under Judge William Henry Hunt, which resume on September 5. Linnen believes some of the evidence presented in those trials will seriously compromise Senators Charles William Fulton and Joseph Ralph Burton.
