Harry B. Kirtland, attorney at law, has approached Negley Cochran, editor of the Toledo News-Bee, asking for information about the prosecution of the ice trust. Cochran wishes to support the prosecutor and the judge in the case. He has no reason to suspect Kirtland, but he believes the forces supporting the trust are powerful and unscrupulous, and he therefore writes President Roosevelt to confirm whether Kirtland is who he says he is, and whether he is acting in any capacity for Roosevelt.
