Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte has received a telegram from Judge James H. Beatty that the statute of limitations is closing soon on the timber fraud cases in Idaho, so while nothing will be made public until after the trial is concluded, the trial should not be delayed. (William Edgar Borah had been indicted in the timber fraud case, and he had requested delay until he could fulfill his responsibilities as prosecutor in the case regarding the murder of former Idaho governor Frank Steunenberg.)
