Some of the letters in their names are written backwards so that it looks like a child's handwriting.On July 22, 1914 Roosevelt accused Bill Barnes, owner of the Albany Times-Union, of corruption and of working with two known political bosses, Boies Penrose and Charlie Murphy. His comments were published in newspapers across the country. The following day Barnes filed a suit against Roosevelt.
