Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt clarifies with Attorney General Bonaparte that a recent indictment in Idaho will not repeat the charge of conspiracy of the men with Senator William Edgar Borah. Borah’s acquittal in the land fraud cases prevents his re-indictment, but Roosevelt wants to avoid potentially besmirching his name.
