Attorney General Bonaparte issues a statement regarding the “North Carolina situation.” On July 18, Bonaparte’s attention was called to certain North Carolina state officials who were said to have disregarded writs of habeas corpus issued by Judge Jeter Connelly Pritchard in the case regarding the Southern Railway Company. Assistant Attorney General Edward Terry Sanford was sent to investigate, but found no basis for the accusations. He did, however, find a conflict of jurisdiction between state and federal courts that could “diminish public respect” for the courts. Although Sanford was unable to mediate the situation, an arrangement between the Southern Railroad Company, state, and federal courts has been reported. President Roosevelt played no part in the case, and no military assistance was ever planned.
