Letter to the editor over railroad petition and Choate remark
Charles A. Prince responds to F W Bird of East Walpole accusing him of blackguardism and fact distortion in a railroad commission hearing. Prince denies mentioning Choate and argues Bird’s reading echoes a British barrister’s instruction to abuse opponents. He cites a quoted Choate statement and asserts the petitioners’ position supports his earlier case. Boston, April 17.
