President Roosevelt has sent William Allen White’s letter to Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte and he encloses the reply. He assures White that District Attorney N. M. Ruick has been taken off of Senator William Edgar Borah’s case and it has been given to Assistant Attorney General Marsden C. Burch and Assistant District Attorney Sylvester R. Rush, who will treat it fairly. If Ruick resigns, the letter sent to him will likely be published, but nothing is certain yet.
