President Roosevelt includes for Charles Hedges the text of a letter between Assistant Attorney General Charles Henry Robb and Attorney General William H. Moody regarding his case. Roosevelt says that there is no indication that the statements in the memorandum in question implied that Hedges was indicted. He adds, however, that Hedges was not indicted because most of his offenses were outside the statute of limitations, and his dismissal from his post was viewed as punishment enough for the offense that was not.
