Kerby. under cross-examination by
Brandeis, identified the draft OF the
Lawler memorandum sent to the COM
mittee by the attorney-general, and
said he believed he himself had type
written the first four pages.
Brandeis then read copy OF the
statement issued from the White
House on Saturday afternoon, imme-
diately following the publication here
of Kerbys statement. This statement
declared that the president himself
had dictated the letter OF Sept. 10,
after careful investigation OF all the
documents, and after having before
him the report of the attorney general
and that there was no foundation for
Kerby's statement.
Did you see that statement In the
paper?" Brandeis asked.
II object" yelled Senator Root. Il
don't think the committee will find 1t
necessary to take up time on this
point. We arc not here investigating
the president OF the United States. We
were directed by the resolution to in
vestigate the interior department and
the forest service. Counsel has been
endeavoring assiduously for a consid-
cradle time now and In manner not
ingenious, to divert attention from
the interior department and lead the
investigation into the conduct OF the
president. If this line of questioning
Is pursued II can lead to nothing else.
/ object"
5randels Makes Explanation.
A long discussion ensued among the
committee. Brandeis explained that
al! he wished was to fix the time when
the statement was issued.
The Lawler memorandum" declar-
ed Root. "is a paper Of the most ordi-
nary and common character. / have
known thousands of cases of proce.
dure Of the same kind. II was the duty
of Ballinger to lay before the presi-
dent a statement of what he thought
The decision ought to be. There Is no
suspicion nor should any weight be at
tached to the Lawler memorandum. 1t
Is quite apparent that the whole at
tempt Of counsel (Brandeis) is to
make an iniquitous and colored at
tack upon the president Of the United
States. over whom this committee has
no Jurisdiction"
Brandeis protested that Roots criti-
cism was uncalled for
Il introduced evidence to show that
the statement of the attorney general
was antedated and followed 1t with
evidence showing the presidents en-
gagements were such that he could not
have given to this question the atten-
ton that was necessary.
Now, supplementing the fact that
the president did not have the time to
give to the matter, | propose to add
the facts that what the president did
was to act on a statement prepared un-
der such conditions as TO lead to the
natural conclusion that It was not ju.
dicial, but was extremely partisan"
