Telegram from Charles J. Bonaparte to Edwin Walter Sims

Subject(s): Courts, Governmental investigations--Management, United States. Department of Justice, United States. Dept. of Justice

Attorney General Bonaparte can not make the changes United States Attorney Edwin Walter Sims asked for, as the Department of Justice has done all it can to meet the wishes of the court. Bonaparte was not told of the facts from Sims’ telegram, and the department will only consider the new information if the court resubmits the question.
