Idaho Governor Gooding informs President Roosevelt that there is an attempt to have Senator William Edgar Borah’s trial postponed, which would interfere with Borah’s involvement in the case against George A. Pettibone. Through Roosevelt, Gooding appeals to the Department of Justice that the local authorities not postpone it, as its resolution is a matter of public interest and necessary for the proper conduct of the Pettibone trial.
