The Daily News covers Grand Jury disclosures in the land fraud case of Charles H. Moyer, Big Bill Haywood and George A. Pettibone. The disclosures seem to indicate a connection to the late Idaho Governor Frank Steunenberg, as well as an anonymous message that was sent to Moyer, Haywood, and Pettibone’s attorney. Significant support of Moyer, Haywood, and Pettibone was also noted in a series of speeches made at the Coliseum protesting their incarnation.

Letter to Charles J. Bonaparte

Letter to Charles J. Bonaparte

A letter to Attorney General Bonaparte clarifies the roles of many of the people involved in the Idaho land fraud case, describing when people entered into and left the conspiracy. It is not possible to indict several of the people, as some have since died, and the statue of limitations has run out on others. The presentation of the case to the Grand Jury will finish soon, and the author of the letter predicts that the jury will be disposed to indict, although there is some uncertainty whether convictions can actually be secured under the instructions of the court.
