Roosevelt, This he did by reading from
the records OF the United States Court
documents over the signatures OF At
torney General Wickersham and Inter-
state Commissioner Lane. in which II
was clearly shown that while Hanna
was indicted upon a technical violation
of the law. the Indictment was dis
missed on the recommendation OF the
Attorney General. The letter of Com
missioner Lane was cited to prove that
the technical violation was committed
in an effort to observe the spirit OF the
law, and that there was not the slight
est moral delinquency on the part OF
Mr.. Hanna in connection with II.
In summing up his opinion of Tafts
attitude In this case, the colonel said
, what shall we think of a President
who in public speech accuses another
man OF having been indicted, but omits
TO mention that the Indictment has been
dismissed on the recommendation OF
that Presidents own Attorney GeneralT
