On October 9. 1916, William Wood
burn wrote letter addressed to the
United States Attorney, Des Moines,
Iowa, upon his official letterhead,
signed "Wm. WOODBURY., United
States Attorney" asking for the
record of case known as the White
Swan Mining Company case, and
asked for a complete copy of the
record at his expense. Why does
Woodburn wish to incur this expense
when he could be neither directly
nor Indirectly benefited by It? Does
this not show that the whole political
machine 10 rotten, and that there
must be organized graft? No one
individual would have the funds with
which to pay for the records of a
four-year litigation. This shows
plainly that VIM WOODBURY. is using
his official capacity in behalf of the

Sir
Explanatory of my telegram to you
this morning, write to explain the
situation. On October goth l received
letter signed "Wm. WOODBURY.,
United States Attorney" written on
his official letterhead, dated Reno,
Nevada, Oct. 9th, 1916, of which l
enclose a copy. On Oct. goth ! re-
piled to said letter. A copy of my
reply also enclose. heard nothing
further until yesterday, Oct. 9th,
when received dispatched signed
Frank T. Dunn, Chief Deputy Dist.
Attorney, copy of which l enclose.
In reply to which | wired him as
shown by copy enclosed, and this
morning sent you the message
which you have no doubt received.
When | received Mr.. Woodburn's
letter and his deputy's message, both
signed in their official capacity,
believed that 1t concerned official
business, and sent my wire of yes
terday to the United States Attorney
at Tonopah mot by name but by
official title).
Later l had inquiry from the tele-
graph company saying there was no
United States Attorney at Tonopah,
and asking whether 1t should be de-
livered to his assistant. This struck
me as peculiar, as all official tele-
grams addressed to me are. delivered
to my deputy without question.
only learned this morning that
you we're candidate for office and
that this record was probably secured
to be used against you. 1t is rather
remarkable use of his position for
United States officer to make.
Although | do not know your poll
tics, as l said in my telegram, you
are entitled to square deal and all
the more so II you have made good
to the extent of receiving the nomi-
nation for the responsible office OF
sheriff. II they can bring nothing
against you more serious than the
record OF this court, they must be
