Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles J. Bonaparte

President Roosevelt directs Attorney General Bonaparte to communicate with the War Department regarding the question of having a United States Marshal inspect some messages. If the Marshal needs soldiers, Roosevelt says, they will use them, but it would be better to have a definite statement regarding whether they are needed or not. Roosevelt thinks that having civil authorities patrol the line and only resorting to soldiers in the case of a mob would be preferable.

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.

Letter from Charles William Fulton to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Fulton writes to President Roosevelt regarding District Attorney Heney’s report that charges Fulton with supporting John Hicklin Hall for district attorney in return for his agreement not to prosecute Senator Brownell. Fulton discusses errors in the report and affirms that he believed Brownell was being unfairly persecuted, but states he never bargained with Hall. Furthermore, much of the evidence comes from letters by Senator Mitchell, which Fulton claims he did not see. Fulton includes copies of the correspondence between Brownell and himself.

Letter from Charles William Fulton to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Fulton thanks President Roosevelt for the answer to his prior letter, and suggests that Roosevelt may misunderstand his attitude regarding the issue of the Oregon land fraud trials. He seeks to clarify his stance, noting that he does not maintain the innocence of everyone, but rather only spoke on behalf of U.S. Marshal Walter F. Matthews. He has hardly spoken about anyone else involved with the trial, other than a comment about Senator John H. Mitchell.
