Perjury Confession in Land Fraud Case Ties to Senator Mitchell
In Portland Oregon on February 11 Judge Albert H Tanner pleaded guilty to perjury in a land fraud investigation centered on a co partnership contract with United States Senator John H Mitchell. Tanner admitted a March 5 1901 agreement that barred the senator from profiting from firm work and testified he altered a December contract clause. The plea followed after the secretary Harry C Robertson was prepared to testify and Tanner sought to shield his son Albert H Tanner Jr from prosecution.
