Attorney General Moody writes President Roosevelt regarding the case against U.S. Marshal Vivian J. Fagin. Fagin had initially submitted his resignation as marshal due to baseless charges that may have been levied against him, but then rescinded his resignation. Officials allowed Fagin to do so. Now, however, charges have been brought and an investigation by the Civil Service Commission is underway. The evidence seems to prove the charges. Moody will wait to take action until after he has met with Secretary of War William H. Taft, unless Roosevelt instructs otherwise.
