Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte updates President Roosevelt on the situation between United States Attorney Edwin Walter Sims and Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis.

Telegram from Charles J. Bonaparte to Edwin Walter Sims

Attorney General Bonaparte can not make the changes United States Attorney Edwin Walter Sims asked for, as the Department of Justice has done all it can to meet the wishes of the court. Bonaparte was not told of the facts from Sims’ telegram, and the department will only consider the new information if the court resubmits the question.

Telegram from Edwin Walter Sims to Charles J. Bonaparte

United States Attorney Sims suggests edits to Attorney General Bonaparte’s letter. If Bonaparte does not agree to them, Sims asks for an adjournment of the grand jury in order to resubmit evidence so as to prove that the Department of Justice has taken an incorrect stance. Sims feels the court was unfairly influenced by the witnesses from the railroad company’s traffic department, and that the situation is urgent.

Letter from Cameron McRae Winslow to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Cameron McRae Winslow to Theodore Roosevelt

Rear Admiral Winslow is not sure that he will be able to interview Secretary of State Elihu Root as soon as President Roosevelt would like, but he will try, as Root will likely give valuable input on the commission. Winslow thinks Roosevelt should put the subject to the country in a way that will help gain the support of the people, and as a result, the support of even the most previously unwilling members of Congress.
