President Roosevelt agrees with Attorney General Bonaparte in not interfering on behalf of Eugene A. Tucker, but that his lawyer should be punished. He believes that former Illinois Governor Richard Yates could be employed in the powder trust case. In a postscript, Roosevelt discusses how state and local governments use extralegal measures to combat non-governmental entities.
