The story of this Case is a renetlH.m of the Salem cases, the Seattle case the Tacoma cases, the Roseburg cases and countless other cases dating; most oia time m the past 10 yea:-a Byron's record proves him a heartless and cold-blooded professional swindler wno has used and reused the Bame old game of contracting to deliver patent to timber lands, for a cash considera tion, and who in the language of the report: "never had succeeded in so curing title for anyone for either 'se lected or patented' lands by means of nis proceedure or otherwise; that ev ery application filed would be reWt ed; -that prior filings covered all land in question: that defendant never in tended to repay his victims and agree ment made were only to prevent vic tims from discovering that they had been cheated and defrauded." Celerity and Silence. Byron moved with celerity and si lence in making bis Salem shake-down. Secrecy, he represented, was in essen tial to success and his grave-vise con nection with the land office mustn't be whispered about for a very good rea van, as is now apparent. Uyron was accepted at his own valuation evident ly, for without looking up his record, notorious throughout the northwest, without an inquiry into his charater, which was as shady as his timber deals, without ascertaining, the status of the timber land in question or By ron's ability to deliver, title, citizens of Salem, business and professional men, merchants, educators ' and clerks eagerly gave up their money to a con victed swindler already under sentence to the federal penitentiary for perpe trating the same old fraud.
