PORTLAND, Feb. 24 Cnllinj: at
tention to the fact that J. Thorburu
Rok, convicted bank wrecker, who is
under indictments for Oregon laud
fraud.-, and Judpo Gilbert, of the
United States circuit court of apocnlK
are brother-in-laws, the Portland
Daily News today publishes a sensa
tional attack on Gilbert's recent San
Francisco decision in the Barber Lura
her Company land fraud case, which
well known conservationists declared
practically legalized the use of "dum
my" entrymen by big land grabbiiif
corporations in the acquisition of
government lands.
The publication intimurutes that the
decision, which was virtually the same
us one handed down previously by
the United States supreme court
would aid Ross materially should ho
be brought to trial for land frauds.
In addition the article asserts that
Judge Gilbert's son and daughter
were used by Ross as "dummies" to
file on desert lands, nnd says that
Gilbert, when he heard of it, compelled
Uieni to cancel tho elnimsnnd-return
to Ross the money he hud advanced
them. To support the statement the
newspaper quotes United States Dis
trict Attorney Me Court us having
said :
"It is true that Ross sent the sofr
and daughters of Judge Gilbert,, out
nnd hnd them make desert land en
tries for him. This was, done Ih 'the
absence of Judgo Gilberts nnd-whon
he returned nnd learned-of the matter
he .immediately hall tho entries can
celled aiTfl the money ndvanced 'o
make tUetutries, returned, to Ross,!'
In thU I'bnhectionHho News de
clares that ilbcrs act indicated ho
had knowledge .of' the 'acts of Ross,
now alleged to, have heeq illegal, and
did not wish to. hnvtjhis- children jm
wittingly drawn into' R(w' business
ventures.
Ho-h and Judge Gilbert married sis
ters. Ross was president of the Title nnd
Guarantee Trit compauy and was
convicted of frauds in connection
with the wrecking of the bank. Tho
ease is now pending in the tinted
States Mipreme court of apcnl. Ross
was first sentenced to 1)00 years in
pri-on but tho Mate supreme court
reduced thi to five vears.
Should he eenpe conviction in this
case, the indictments charging laud
frauds, which are now being held up,
would he pushed by the federal authorities.
