Letter from Stephen O’Meara to Theodore Roosevelt
Police Commissioner O’Meara explains to President Roosevelt that he felt it was necessary for his son to have a formal trial in order to avoid any appearance of favoritism and to quell rumors in the press. Ted was declared innocent of the charge of assaulting a police officer, but he withheld the name of a friend whom police believed to be the culprit. O’Meara denies allegations that Ted was assaulted by a member of the Boston police force.
