Memorandum for the Attorney General as to Inspector Neuhausen’s report on Mr. Bristol
Henry Martyn Hoyt summarizes a report on U.S. District Attorney William C. Bristol’s alleged involvement in the Oregon land fraud scandals. Hoyt concludes that were the government to continue to retain Bristol’s services, its position in the land fraud cases would be weakened. While there may be a scenario where all of Bristol’s actions were legitimate, the author finds Bristol’s position to be precarious.
