APRIL 23, 1000.- flffl DEEDS ; K 't i. ; Grand Jury Takes lip Com H plaints Tliat JIay Jad to Incovering of Extensive Srst?m'of Swindling in Multnomah County. . ; ;. Startling possibilities of wholesale . rcorrllnr of fraudulent deeds 1 a euu- "Ject Into-whlch thai grand Jury has b - t.un to delve. One case- haa been under Investigation for several da ye. and an- other' cam to light this morning, the man who charges the swindle at ones headlna for the arrand lurv room. i It also became known this morning , that shortly befor Ralph B. i'isher waa ; rnoi aown in ins oinco oy jmn : rinch. he had stated that tn his opinion 'there are 100 or more fraudulent deeds in record In the county Instrument on - record In tha county clerk's offlce.' '- Mr. Flaher was the prosecutor for the - Multnomah Bar association, and his at- tontlon 1s said to have been directed to The matter by the questionable acts of t-certain attorneya. just before he waa killed Flaher made some Investigation .' '; of these reports, and that he found ; some foundation for , them is evident from the remarks he made. . f ' v. In the canes now under investigation. ;o far as known, no attorney Is under i: suspicion. The first was a transaction ; - in w hich Charles N. Rankin purchased -A a tax title to property comprising nearly -two nrreH between Rockwood and Mon- - lavllla. He learned that- the owner was Hnrrv W. Castleman of tios Angeles end opened negotiations, finally buying the property for $20, agreeing to assume an debts against it, ; , . .;',, ' Votary Was th 8am.''y.:";- rater Mr. Banklii found that on th : flay before he filed his quit .claim ' aeeu r from Castleman a warranty deed had : been filed for. the same property from 4'astlcman ' to A. A. Kearns for a -con deration of 110. The latter, ha ; learned, is the wife. of W. T. Kearns, a well known abstractor. What Astounded ,; Mm most was that the purported deed i of the day before bore the seal and signature of M. P. Culver as notary V public. It was Culver, also, who had laken the acknowledgment of Castleman to Rnnkin in the quit claim deed. --: ' Culver repudiates the genuineness of ' Ms seal and signaturenm the warranty deed He says his notarial stamp Is lnrger than the stamp on the suspicious ( document filed the day before. . This morning another, man appeared i who had heard nothing of the Castle i man land deal, but complained that he , had discovered an earlier deed on land owned by his wife. He stated that Cul- ver was the notary public In his case, and. by a peculiar co-incidence, he , lives In a house owned by Mrs. Kearns. -: This coincidence Is not regarded as hav v ing any , significance by the authorltes i r who are working on the case. ' . Clark Before Grand Jury. ' County Clerk Fields has been exam i Ined by the grand Jury, but It Is be f Heved that about all the information lie could give was to produce the-rec-: ords of hla office. He admitted this V morning that he had been failed On by t another man who-claimed to have been defrauded, but Mr, Fields said he could 9 not remember the man's name and be would not llscus the matter. -' Several theories ore advanced, ' one f lielng that . there- Is ' concerted plan temong'a fow persons .who are in posi 14 Ion ; to'- know about pending deals In tax tine property, xms plan, it la sug- ftested,. was- to cloud the title of the ! intending purchaser by filing t nrior fnrgerl deed, getting; this on record Juat I ahead of the genuine deed, and - then mulcting the puroliaser, by either tak llng the property or by compelling him to pay for a quit claim. ' , J What the grand Jury has learned be-i S'ond the two cases is unknown, but It neems probable that a thorough Invea- i titration would reveal-' many similar s cases. -;' : ..:., fJil'OR STRIKES rn cormny, ' T- ; ..: I Vetoes Ordinance Rescinding Resolution for the East ' Sixth Street Fill. , PROMINENT HORSEMEN GATHER AT THE COUNTRY CLUB SALE MaVOr Lan ttnt a maaflaa A t)ia) city council thia morning vetoing; tli ordinance recently panned by that body resr.indinar lir.nrAirmint nrru1 1 n mm ttn Kaat Sixth street,' In the Interests of th ininan-rouisen Liumber company, wrilct protfatid against having to atand the expense of making- a fill between Sher man and Division . staVets.
