President Roosevelt asks George B. Davis, Judge Advocate General of the Army, for advice concerning the case of William Buwalda. Roosevelt does not currently want to change the sentence, as he feels that Buwalda must be punished, but thinks that the term of punishment is too long and is considering shortening the sentence. (Buwalda was court-martialed for shaking anarchist Emma Goldman’s hand.)
