Letter from Henry P. Moulton to William H. Moody
U.S. Attorney Moulton writes to Attorney General Moody about the case of Massachusetts v. Hugh Gurney, Third Secretary of the British Embassy, for driving his automobile at excessive speed. Moulton provides an account of Gurney’s arrest, his claims that he is exempt from Massachusetts law because he works for the British Embassy, and the resulting fracas. Moulton concludes that the various accounts seem to agree on what happened and asks Moody how the Justice Department would like to proceed.
