Letter from Frank Robert Gooding to Theodore Roosevelt
Governor Gooding writes to explain to President Roosevelt that his statements about Harry Orchard’s trial for the murder of Governor Steunenberg were misquoted in the Hearst newspapers. Gooding said that Orchard would receive a fair trial, but he regretted the radical resolutions passed by labor unions. Gooding also assures Roosevelt that the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners will receive fair trials and that mine owners will not be allowed to contribute money to the prosecution.
