Senator Borah expresses concern about his role in the prosecution of Charles H. Moyer and Big Bill Haywood, in light of the indictment that has been brought against him in Idaho regarding land fraud. Borah protests his innocence of the latter, but suggests that if the evidence of the case is sufficient to warrant indictment, he will withdraw from the Moyer-Haywood case and face action against him as early as possible.
