District Attorney Stimson informs Attorney General Bonaparte that he has served the subpoenas for the Panama libel case and discussed it with the prosecuting attorney, William Travers Jerome. Jerome has expressed interest in prosecuting a newspaper for libel against Secretary of State Elihu Root, although Root is apprehensive. Stimson believes the additional case may help to minimize any criticism of President Roosevelt in relation to the Panama case, and he encourages Bonaparte to discuss it with Root.
