G. W. Baird informs William Loeb that he has papers supposedly pertaining to William McKinley’s assassination. A Roman Catholic woman presented the papers to the Grand Master of the Freemasons in Washington, D.C., claiming that the Romans had assisted in assassinating McKinley. Baird has kept the matter confidential, but has not found anything one way or the other. He says he will do whatever President Roosevelt wants with the papers.
