Gifford Pinchot explains to William Loeb what he witnessed in the Mrs. Minor Morris incident. Pinchot reports that Laura A. Hull Morris was gently but firmly escorted from the White House with one guard on each side. At no point was she dragged and he does not believe the matter could have been handled any other way. Pinchot saw no “unnecessary roughness” and he believes her quiet removal was the “right and kind thing” to do.
