impartial investigation of all charges

up the investigation and press it upon

Of crime warranting prosecutions in
other jurisdictions. he would place that
evidence at my command, or at the
command of the Attorney General. or
a, the service of the proper District At
torney. so that the law might be en-
forced and vindcated. Thus, in an or
DERBY manner within the law. we mu-
tually pledged cooperation for the
public good.
II have steadiastly stood in the way
Of any interference with Mr.. Whitman's
work. | have had no complaint Of any
kind from him. Now if Mr.. Whitman
mas IN MS possession or Wltnin MS

rants criminal investigation or prose-
cution outside Of his jurisdiction, it is
his duty to apprise me OF il, or To sub
nit it 10 the Attorney General or TO
transmit it to the proper District At
torney for his attention. Such action
on his part Will meet with ready and
vigorous action. Should any District
Attorney fail to prosecute upon such
evidence ! will hold him responsible,
and I will, in due form Of law, remove
him from office for such dereliction OF
duty and appoint another in his place
who will do the public duty thus neg
