Attorney General Bonaparte expresses his doubts to President Roosevelt about the effectiveness of District Attorney N. M. Ruick in the Moyer and Haywood case. He does not want the government to be involved in another scandal such as what took place in Brownsville or with the Santa Fe Railroad. Bonaparte also congratulates the president on his letter to the editor to the New York Tribune, aimed at the apologists of Moyer and Haywood.
