Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary confirms the conversation between Alexander Pollock Moore and Roosevelt at which he was present. He recounts that Roosevelt said he remembered seeing Moore and the committee regarding the evidence proving that cashier J. B. F. Rinehart had mishandled monies and credits of the Farmers and Drovers National Bank of Waynesburg. Roosevelt then sent a telegram to the district attorney to take up the case. He does not have a copy of the telegram but remembers his instructions on the matter.
