The eases against Horace MoKinley, A. D. Puter, Maria Wara and Emma Watson are likely ta be among the first to eoma to trial. These defendants are accused of both forgery and conspiracy and tba Indictments charge a series of frauds whereby large tracts of pubtte land wara antarad In the names of fic titious persons and by meana of forged applications. While McKlnley and Pater are regard ad as rna leading spirits la these operations, tha ooneequenoea are likely to be especially serious for Marls Wars, for the reason that aha waa a United States commissioner at the time the frauds were committed. That a federal official should bare been an ae Ure party to the frauds si considered especially heinous and tha crime to ag gravated by this breach of trust. Several of the fraudulent . entries ehsrged against McKlnley and his con federates were la tsmnahlp M south, range 1 east. According to the Informa tion obtained by tbo government, tha plan pursued by thw eonsptratsrs was to make entries hi the names of flotltloas persons, the papers being verified by per jured notarial certificates.
