1359 - L May 23; ed: 2/1 - Everybody in the west is asking why Craig, of
the New York Associated Press, allowed the forged proclamation to be
telegraphed without a denial of its authenticity. Craig knew it was
false at the time, and his efforts to lay the blame on special Washing-
ton correspondents of western newspapers is ineffectual.
"Mr. Craig speaks contemptuously of dispatches he himself sends west
very largely as Associated Press reports." (5)

1369 - L June 4; ed:2/2 - Mr. Craig of the Associated Press did not
dream that the proclamation would appear after he had denied its author-
ity, so he left no instructions for the day reporter not to send it.
The day reporter sent it over the wires.
"The Western Press, the I.EADER among the number, has unintentially
done Mr. Craig great injustice in charging him with purposely sending
the proclamation when he knew it was false." (5)
