Kerby Charges Denied By Taft In Land Feud
The article reports Kerby denying charges in a land feud case with Taft, following inquiries and a report by Wickersham. An affidavit by a stenographer in the Interior Department suggests the executive epistle dismissing Gravis and exonerating the secretary was prepared by the Assistant Attorney General, prompting a denouement. Two paragraphs are identical, and Wickersham states that even if copied, the letter would not be unusual, amid White House conference notes.
