U.S. Marshal Rounds acknowledges several messages Attorney General Bonaparte has sent pertaining to the trial of Senator William Edgar Borah. Borah’s friends believe he will not receive a fair trial. Rounds says he is confused by this concern and explains that he has done nothing to prevent Borah from receiving a fair trial. Rounds requests that Bonaparte begin an investigation to satisfy himself about the truth of the complaints.
