Timber frauds to be brought before grand juries
Half a dozen district attorneys across several states pursue true bills in timber land scams. Prominent businessmen including a former senator and lumber magnates face indictments, with schemes involving dummy workers and land scrip to seize thousands of acres. Records seek to reclaim land for the government as statutes of limitations may shield some defendants. Detective Burns and Francis J. Heney lead the prosecutions in San Francisco before wider government action.
