Kickapoo Lands Fraud Probe Targets Mexican Deeds
A Senate committee led by Teller, Curtis and La Follette plans to report names of parties alleged to fraudulently deal with Mexican Kickapoos over deeds to lands in Shawnee Oklahoma. The panel cites the Chapman Grimes Connine group, urges a special prosecutor under the Justice Department to null deeds, and notes most acts occurred in Mexico with forged Indian signatures and coerced transfers. The inquiry aims to keep the investigation active until Kickapoo grievances receive proper action.
