Ford Kitchel gives testimony about making facsimilies of a check for $975, signed by Theodore Roosevelt for champagne bought from the Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Company, for their archives at their main office in Reims, France and in New York City. Kitz, agent of Piper-Heidsieck, sends Kitchel to Graham at Oberly & Newel printing house to get the facsimilies of the check. Graham sends Kitchel to Herman Schedler, a photographer, for a photograph to make the engraving. Two days later Kitz tells Kitchel that the president objects to making a copy of his check and to “obtain the plate that they had made and everything pertaining to this subject matter.” Kitchel then goes to Graham and obtains said photograph and plate from him. Graham tells Kitchel that “no impression of any kind had been made from the copper plate.” Kitchel obtains from Schedler a negative and two impressions he had received for his files.
