WHAT THE LATTER AFFFIRMS
Investigation by the Lawyers Made at
the Personal Request of President
Roosevelt and Independent of the
Postoffice Department.
WASHINGTON By direction of
President Roosevelt a thorough Inves
tigation has been made into the
charges preferred by Seymour W. Tul
loch against the management of affairs
of the Washington. D. C postoffice.
This investigation has been made by!" until 1847.
Hob. Charles J. Bonaparte and Hon.
Holmes Conrad, special counsel of the
government in the prosecution of the
postoffice cases, and it is independent
and supplementary to the report made
by Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow.
Mr. Bristow's report. Mr. Conrad
says, was simply a collection of facts
in the case reported by postoffice in
spectors and contained no opinion as
to the merit of the charge. The in
vestigation made by Messrs. Bonaparte
and Conrad v.-ill go into the merits of
the charge and will express an opinion
as to whether or not the accused
sons are vindicated or are guilty of
the offenses charged against them. Thcj
conclusions drawn from their inquiry wUh BllIgaria whIIc the gofla corre

that matter rests with the officials of I
the administration. No prosecution
will aris" from any results of the in

been made, are barred by the statute
of limitations.
Mr. Conrad said he and Mr. Bona

in the inquiry. They had examined

by the Treasury and Postoffice depart
ments. The president, said Mr. Con
rad, was very anxious that the whole
matter should be gone over carefully
so that if persons named in the charges
or Mr. Tulloch were not guilty they
should be vindicated and if they were
that this fact might go on record.
Their duty had been to act in the ca
pacity of a master in chancery and
report on the facts as they found them.
It was not a party affair with the
president. Mr. Conrad declared, but an
honest desire to get at the facts in
the case, both democrats and republi
cans being involved in the charges.
