Letter from Charles R. Neumeister to Theodore Roosevelt
Charles R. Neumeister writes to President Roosevelt to offer his insights on an article by the Socialist journalist Joseph Wanhope that covers the 1906 Moyer-Haywood murder trial and the 1904 trial of miners accused of attempted train derailments in Cripple Creek, Colorado. Neumeister is a detective, who was hired by the Mine Owners Association, and he refutes Wanhope’s claim that railroad detectives tried to derail the train and blame miners. Neumeister believes Wanhope’s claims are “baseless” and the entire trial was a miscarriage of justice against the mine owners.
