Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles William Fulton
President Roosevelt encloses a report made my U.S. Attorney Francis J. Heney which alleges that Senator Fulton and Senator John H. Mitchell recommended George C. Brownell for District Attorney knowing that he was guilty of fraudulent conduct. They made other recommendations for appointments knowing that John Hicklin Hall, a potential appointee, would not prosecute Brownell for criminal misconduct if he were appointed. In light of these revelations, Roosevelt will appoint Charles E. Wolverton as District Judge of Oregon.
