Tanner Perjured Himself in Oregon Land Fraud Case
Judge Albert H. Tanner admitted perjury before a Portland federal court after declaring a December contract between Tanner and Senator Jonathan Mitchell as the original. The dispute led to indictments against Tanner, his son, and Robertson, Mitchell’s secretary, amid broader land fraud probes in Oregon. Indictments also named Congressman John R. Williamson, Van Gessner, Williamson’s partner, and Marion R. Brigze for conspiring to obtain public lands in Crook County for a sheep grazing firm. A Southern Pacific freight embargo affects shipments south of Mound House, aiming to ease流 congestion on narrow gauge lines including Carson & Colorado and Tonopah routes. Smallpox rages among Indiana communities in Mono County, while Governor Pennypacker grants clemency to Kate Edwards and an unnamed Black man in a murder case.
