William H. Moody responds to allegations made by Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock that in matters regarding certain land cases, Wyoming Attorney General Timothy F. Burke and other Department of Justice officials have acted inappropriately and therefore should be removed from office. Moody disputes this and says that the claims Hitchcock has made are too vague and broad, without naming specific people aside from Burke. While Moody acknowledges that it would be impossible to keep up to date with the details of every legal case in the country, he is certain that he would be aware if anything untoward was happening regarding land cases. He will have Burke’s case investigated, though he hopes that specific charges will be filed.
