Attorney General Brewster’s interview with Marshal Henry
A staged private interview recorded by a stenographer reveals Brewster’s zeal for Star Route jurors and his harsh rebuke of Henry for not pushing for honorable jurors. Two prosecutors who opposed Brewster later voted for conviction, and Henry’s image ends in the waste basket. The charge is sympathy with Star Route defendants. The overall judgment is that Brewster overstepped duties and degraded office, likened to a spy with a fellow official and branded as leading an Department of Injustice.
