He has Bis aofT of demurrer to the
complaint, acoompanied by a 'Vertifl
cate of good character" signed by a long
list of attorneys in the city. As soon
as be files his answer his case will be
set down for hearing before the local
land office.
Alleged Collusion.
It Is charged against Lafferty that a
certain entryman who held land In the
Slletz country which was being con
tested asked Lafferty to serve as his
counsel. Lafferty stated to the man
that ha could not serve, being retained
on the other side of the controversy,
but recommended H. M. Bsterlr. another
Portland attorney. Investigation grow
ing out of the transaction showed ap
parent collusion between Lafferty and
Esterly. This Is only one speoiflo case.
Lafferty came to Portland as a spe
cial agent of the land department In
1904. during the first of the Isnd fraud
investigations. lie was assigned to
work under T. B. Neuhausen and was
used for a time in gathering evidence
for use by the government In the John
H. Mitchell trial. Later he was assigned
to the division over which EL W. Dixon
has charge and was sent out to the
Silets country to make an Investigation
of the claims In that district.
In 104 Special Agent Oreene had
made a tour through the Silets and had
made a report that practically all of the
claims filed there were fraudulent. He
had recommended thut all final proofs
be held up by the department pending
an Investigation. This was dope, and
Lafferty waa sent out to make the in
vestigation. Beslgns Prom Voaition.
Lafferty made an investigation of
each claim and filed tils report with the
department. Shortly afterwards ha re
signed from the department, opened
law of flees in the Fenton building and
became the attorney for a large number,
perhaps a majority, of those claimants
whom he had Investigated as a special
agent and reported upon. This oourse
did not go down well with the depart
ment, and when soon afterwards Laffer
ty was made the object of vigorous com
plaints from different sources an In
vestigation was ordered. The Investiga
tion resulted In the commencement of
disbarment proceedings, which ir suc
