cases will be tried as soon as the
United States court can reach
tbem, which will most probably
be able to commence on them
about the first of April next. Of
the indictments, fifty two are for
conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent out of land, and the
others for the various crimes of
perjury, subordination of per
jury and : obstructing the ad
ministration of justice.
When a list of the indicted
are read it would seem that the
cup of shame that is being pre
sented to Oregon is full, for the
list includes one United States
Senator from Oregon and both
our members of the House of
Representatives, eight attorueya
who have held prominent posi
tions, one state and two ex-staie
Senators, an ex-United States
Assistant Attorney and bis de
puty, an ex-Suryeyor General
and deputy, several deputy sur
veyors, examiners of surveys,
one United States Commissioner
of the United States General
Land Office, two ex-Commiss
ioners of the United States Dis
trict Court for Oregon and a
number of land and timber deal
ers and homesteaders.
