Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John W. Dwight

President Roosevelt denies ordering the indictment of Senator George E. Green or ordering that someone should not be indicted, assuring that anyone who is guilty will be prosecuted. Roosevelt states that he will see District Attorney George B. Curtiss if he has information regarding the case but not if his visit relates to the welfare of the party or Roosevelt’s success.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Barnes

President Roosevelt explains that Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte had at first recommended that District Attorney George B. Curtiss be removed, or that he be allowed to serve out his term without reappointment. Based on this information, Roosevelt informed John W. Dwight, J. Sloat Fassett, and George W. Dunn about the situation. Since then, however, the opinion within the Department of Justice has changed, and so Roosevelt no longer has any ground to not reappoint Curtiss. He understands, however, that William Barnes has been put in a difficult position because of this, and promises to look into the matter further.
