Duluth, Minnesota, August,
15th,
1922.
R. C. McCullough,
906 Esat (sic)
3rd street,
Duluth, Minn.
Mr. F. A. Whittier, State Agent
Stillwater, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
In answer to you letter of
July 10th, 1922 in regards to Max Mason, will say that my first
acquaintence (sic) with him was when I took charge of his defense together with
others arrested at the same time and on the same charge on June 15th,
1920 and saw him very often on my many calls at the County Jail, this
City.
From all the contact, and knowledge I gained of him personally, I
found him to be of a well behaved character, earnest, honest and true and from
all the inquiry I made concerning him and learned from all who visited him while
in jail and from the sheriff and his officers who had immediate charge of him
informed me that he was a man of good behavior and honest.
I am enclosing a
copy of the Supreme Courts opinion both affirming his conviction and dissenting
opinion of Justices Hallam and Dibell in the same hearing that you may know the
details of the cause of his imprisonment.
Hoping this will afford you the
proper information asked for.
I remain
Yours truly.
R. C.
McCullough
