President Roosevelt sends Judge Jones a number of papers about the character of U.S. Marshal Leander J. Bryan. Although Roosevelt wants to appoint a marshal that Jones works well with, he was not aware of the extent of the moral accusations against Bryan and does not feel he should reappoint him. He asks Jones to name another man.
