Joseph Bucklin Bishop explains to President Roosevelt the circumstances of a court case involving W. Bourke Cockran’s refusal to pay George Alfred Lamb for legal services rendered as a result of a settlement from the Consolidated Gas Company. Bishop says that, although it was common belief that Cockran was involved in blackmail, the proof was not positive, and thus advises Roosevelt to leave Cockran alone.
