Attorney General Bonaparte acknowledges receipt of William Loeb’s letter regarding enforcement of the law regarding alcohol sales in Indian Territory. Bonaparte also lists his thoughts regarding the Chicago & Alton Railroad Company immunity. If the action is deferred until after a decision in the court of appeals, it would cause a delay of many months. Bonaparte informs President Roosevelt that he is willing to read the entire testimony if Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis assembles it. At the end, Bonaparte includes a copy of a telegram he received about another instance of a request for immunity.
