Grover Cleveland actually said...

"The verdict returned upon the coroner's inquest...leads me to the conclusion that if a pension is granted in this case no soldier's widow's application based upon suicide can be consistently rejected."

"It is quite plain that the occupancy of this island as a place of pleasure and recreation would be entirely inconsistent with military or defensive uses."

"Surely no one will seriously propose that a claim for pension should rest upon a conjecture as to what would have caused death if it had not occurred in an entirely different way."

"I transmit herewith a report in relation thereto from the Secretary of State."
