In preparation for leaving office, President Roosevelt seeks further information regarding a man named Smith recently convicted by Judge Morris of Minnesota. Roosevelt has received letters about the case from Marshal William H. Grimshaw and William Walter Heffelfinger, which cast doubt upon the allegations by a man named Hammond that Smith tampered with a witness. Roosevelt asks Morris to respond quickly by telegram with his opinion on the matter.
