Francis E. Leupp has spoken with President Roosevelt about all of the pardon applications the President receives. Leupp believes that if he had access to the pardon files he could “influence the public to be more charitable in judgment” when pardons are approved or denied. He mentions that he would, of course, use no names or specific data in his discussions.
