In light of the criticism Benjamin F. Barnes is receiving from the newspapers over the incident regarding Mrs. Minor Morris’ visit to the White House, the author wishes to provide background information on Morris. The author writes that Morris framed her maid for stealing diamonds that Morris had actually pawned earlier and that her behavior severely distressed the other tenants in her apartment building. The author believes that the newspapers’ portrayal of Morris is inaccurate.
