Roosevelt Excused as Witness in $50,000 Libel Suit
Theodore Roosevelt was excused from the witness stand in the $50,000 libel case brought by William Barnes. The case stems from Roosevelt recounting how he helped end the 1907 panic and identifying a letter by Charles F. Whitman urging a party reform coalition. Whitman, then New York district attorney and future governor, advocated a union of progressive Republicans and progressives. The defense sought testimony on vice and gambling in Albany but was denied. Barnes claimed an agreement with Tammany Hall’s Murphy and noted statements by William Loeb Jr. about the matter. Justice Andrews indicated no evidence yet of broader corruption ties.
