Burford, John Henry, 1852-1922

President Roosevelt asks Oklahoma Supreme Court Chief Justice Burford to speak with Oklahoma Governor Frank C. Frantz and read the letter Roosevelt recently sent Frantz. Roosevelt promises to not believe any charges against Frantz unless they are proven beyond any doubt, and will punish secret service agent William J. Burns if he has indeed been acting as Burford has written. He wants written statements and affidavits he can use and publish either showing Frantz’s innocence and character, or showing evidence of wrongdoing.
