Telegram from Edwin Walter Sims to Charles J. Bonaparte

United States Attorney Sims suggests edits to Attorney General Bonaparte’s letter. If Bonaparte does not agree to them, Sims asks for an adjournment of the grand jury in order to resubmit evidence so as to prove that the Department of Justice has taken an incorrect stance. Sims feels the court was unfairly influenced by the witnesses from the railroad company’s traffic department, and that the situation is urgent.
