L H. PARKER OF BRKER -IN
SERIOUS TROUBLE
Taken Into Custody by United States
Secret; Service; Officials for Alleged
Fals : Affidavits : Involving Timber
Claims Land Fraud Cases May Open
Up Big Scandals. ? "
Charged with having perjured himself in an effort to secure the
rights to a , valuable mining claim on whictf an old man had lived
for years in an endeavor to claim as his own, J. H. Parker, vice
; president of.the irst National bank of Baker City, and one of the
most propiiicnt menf eastern Oregon, indicted on two counts by
the United States1 grand jury, which adjourned this morning, was
arrested last evening at Baker City; by Deputy' United States Mar
shal Clyde Nicholson of Portland, and afterward released on a bond
of $3,000. - i.,, . .
The indictments, two in number, were returned to Judge Wol
verton in the.United. States court several days ago. A bench war
rant ' for Parker's 'arrest was issued by the court at once. One .of
the indictments charges Parker with violation of section 4746 of
the federal statutes, and the other of willful and corrupt perjury.
Fred' Wnnder, an old' man' who hfea
llyd In Baker county manjr jrari, was
th principal 'witness befor the grand
jury which v Investigated ; the charges
against Parker. ' The complaint was
filed with United States District At
torney John ;McCourt some time , ago
and was Investigated last week.
So. eager was Parker , to. get hold of
the mining claim which had been se
lected by wunder e the property which
would some day t)rb10e him With
enough gold se that lie should have all
the neceselttes of llfe,'ceoTding to the
, evidence before the grand Jury, that he
deliberately' plotted to . get the land
-away from the old man and deliberately
swore that there were, no Improvements
on the place) and that the man had not
compiled with the requirements of the
'law. - . -. , ..
A brother of Parker wasalao mixed
up In the deal, but he has not been In
dicted. It eeema that Parker, the bank
er, made several attempts to get the
old man's claim and that It was not
utnll some time age that he was partly
successful. The- mining claim- which
Wunder alleges Parker endeavored to
take from him by swearing falsely is
in uaicer county.
Parker, who ls said ? to ; be 7 quite
wealthy, was taken before United States
Commissioner , C. - A. Moore of Baker
City and the amount of bail for his
liberty was Used at $8,000. The com
missioner demanded $1,000 bail money
on the one count and $2,000 on the in
dictment charging Parker with -perjury.
Alter arranging his bond Parker was
released ; from the custody .of United
states Marshal Nicholson. i
