President Roosevelt discussed the matter that Edward A. Eames wrote about with C. Hart Merriam, and concluded that the men in question are state, and not federal officials. Thus, Roosevelt does not have anything to do with the matter. Roosevelt reminds Eames, who asked about adequate punishment for the game protector, that although Roosevelt believes that the man was guilty of “foul murder,” he was killed.
