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.
