BWiamina Pwm the WasMagton Krt, Mamh in which regarding the mcent arrest of tke land swrndlem In St. Louis give ae idea of thi extent of the fraud. The omelals ia the General Land-odtea in the otty regard It m ths gnatsst swnsito ever perpetratod on the Goveramoat, and Its Immensity can only bs realised when all tke facts la tke osm an known. Its lampttoa dates back to tbe year la, mom than a quarter of a century ago. la that year, on the ith of August, an act wm paaeed hyCViagress graduating valum of public tends to actual settler and cultivators from fl.Sa to IS 1-t cents per aero. Just after the paasage at this not a ring wm formed In Missouri to obtain public lands by Illegal methods. Some of the men who engaged In tbe ishsanj are still llvlag, aad It to believed at the Isnd'Offtee that the Government officials must ban' been in collusion with the swladlers. Tbe latter prepared and hffooght to Mveral of the Landsal ms la Missouri a quantity of false evl denes, alleging that the public land for which patents wen desired were actually settled and cultivated according to law. This wm seat to Waalungton by tbe Registen aad Receivers, aad on the prmentation of this alleged proof patents wen Issued for hundred and thousaad of acres of lead te the swindlers. All their well-laid plana seemed te prosper. Then tbe war came, and all Southern aad Southwestern Missouri, the scene of the swindling operations, wm las state ef ooafuaion. During the time It is believed the swindlers made the most of their opportunities and abstracted a many patents m they could Mad. When everythlag bad quieted dowa they commoamd te sell off the patents In a manner that wm m plausible m R wm successful. It wm as fellows: Mr. A seme to Mr. B with a Uaitod States patent for a certain number of acre. It was a genuine patent, though obtained by fraud. Aooompaayiag it wm a deed purporting to be made out by the person whose name appeared oa the patent. That deed wm a forgery. To obtain their ead tbe swindlers bad committed two crimes. Some idm to thus given of the enormity of the fraud. Ft ret hundreds of affidavits that the slgner had actually settled aad cultivated the land wen prepared, when tbe person whose name wm affixed never existed. Page after page ef some of the entry books hi the Missouri Land -office have been found to be Sited with the nammof nctlttous persons to whom pateats were Issued. Then, haviag secured a patent te the land by fraud, a deed which wm not worth tbe paper it covered wm writton and beaded -to the gultoiens pwreaoser m bona tee svidenee that hie title te tbe property wm complete. There wm Mother and more careful way In which the skillful swindler worked. Mr. A appeared to Mr. B, who wished to purchase m the agent of Mr. C, a third party. "Mr. C wishes to Mil this land," said Mr. A to the viettm, "and will probably accept your offer. Call around tomorrow at 1 o'clock. In tbe meantime I will sm him." It to needless to my that thif third party wm a "straw man,'' who nevet exbited. When B appeared next day A showed him a deed signed with C'i name, but which really had been drawn up by A within aa boor after be. had left the day before. As if to guard against any possible detoetloa of fraud, tbe swindlers used what the? called a "smoked deed." This wm a deed dlseolorad by smoke or coffee, and made to appear of sufficient age to correspond with the date It bom. They grew m expert at the practice of smokiag freshlyprepared deeds that the dsoepttoa escaped discovery. The ttivitilfstlou which led to tbe exposure of th gigantic windlen wm Instigated a little ivr a year ago by a letter received by Secretary Schurx. This stated that one Robert P. Lindsay, of St. Lento, wboM father had onoe been tn charge of the Land-office at I ronton, aad who had thus bad access to the content and records of tbe oeloe, possessed one or two boxes Ml led with United States land patents which wen certainly genuine, although Lindsay might have obtained them by questionable means. Tbe letter alleged that he kept these boxes coocoaled or moved them by stealth, aad bad queer dealings with queer people. Tbe writer, who professed to be a friend to Schurx, nggested la conclusion that it might pay to look late the matter. The statements of tbe letter were deemed of such Importance that the Secretary at once mcured Special Agent D. P. Terrell, of the TreMury Department, to work up tbe com. Hb experience during the thirteen month be ha been employed would, If published, read like a novel. Ha has been In nearly every city m tbe eountry, under assumed names. He hs ft mired In tbe pine woods of Missouri m a mw-mlll owner or preepeetor, and ia the Western cities a an Kaetern capitalist who wanted to buy a large quantity of rand in tbe southern part of Missouri, and wm on an anxious March for the real ewnct ef the property. In his inrmtigaiion be found that the ramiSeatlons nf the swindle extended to Pittsburgh, Cleveland nttd pthec cities. His labor wsrs at lat crowned with uaems. A few days ago a number of persons, including Lindsay, wen arrested In St. Louis or the cities named. They have all given bail or an oa trial. It to stated at ths Lead -office that tbe ring has obtained fraudulent title to more hau a million acres ol land; tbe'larger proportion o( this vat ares they have sold to Innocent xettler, who are now living in peace around happy hearthAres Legally they ban no title to tbe land they occupy, and the Government can mum R to revert to the United State. Will this course be pursued? Is a question which can not now be answered, (lovemment offlelaii who wen converted with to-day say that 11 will rest with the Secretary of tbe Interiot and the Attorney-General to decide whether etvfl suits hall be begun at once te vacate the titles te these lands. It to believed that, whatever to determined ttnon, It wIN be m arraiured that the blow shall not tort tee heavily upon the thousands of duped Mtttert whom hitherto undaunted Uttos to tbelt enrilWBsn IMTbv iHtJH fWWsHs'oJs YlMttSv9Mi eww MM asnmsaMinn ae hnnAv a weep ny hhb exposure.
