In a statement, Minor Morris reveals the reason he was dismissed from his position as a clerk in the War Department in 1902, which led to the incident where his wife, Laura A. Hull Morris, was forcibly removed from the White House. Morris asserts that John A. T. Hull requested his removal because he made false accusations against him. Morris denies the accusations. His wife went to the White House to ask President Roosevelt for justice, and he believes that her treatment is “a lasting disgrace to all the participants save the victim.”
