# Journal of Political Economy/Volume 17/Review: Looters of the Public Domain

The subtitle of this work boasts that it "embraces a complete exposure of the fraudulent system of acquiring titles to the public lands of the United States." This statement is a trifle too ambitious but it may well be claimed that it is an authoritative "inside history" of the system, for Mr. Puter was prominently engaged in the fraudulent practices, finally acquiring the doubtful privilege of an eighteen-month confinement in the Multonomah County jail, from which he was released by President Roosevelt's pardon, January 6, 1908. Mr. Puter's collaborator, Horace Stevens, was formerly of the government land service. The combination of these points of view has certainly resulted in some interesting reading.
The major part of the work centers about the plans, frauds, and adventures of Mr. Puter, although many other matters are introduced and the latter third of the book deals almost exclusively with these other fields. Throughout, the story is much the same, varying only in the entertainingly disgusting details. The reader has a wide choice: he may revel in a detective story where shooting-irons are much in evidence, or in a western romance; in tragedy, melodrama, or comedy; in a story of private cupidity of predatory corporations; in a recital of political corruption or of faithful observance of a public trust, and the story loses none of its interest because the real hero is Francis J. Heney. The wealth of illustrations has the same cosmopolitan range. There are prosaic diagrams of timber regions, portraits of convicted U. S. senators, copies of documents and letters, reproductions of absurd newspaper etchings, and the "typical mountaineer," carefully posed so that his "trusty weapon" shall be much in evidence.
And with it all, Looters of the Public Domain possesses scientific value. Puter's motive in making these revelations is not of the highest, but he has made a real contribution to our knowledge of the subject of the land frauds and of the methods of caring for our public domain. There is a concreteness and a definiteness about the whole story that convinces one of its essential truthfulness and serious students of the problem will find good material for their use.

United States Supreme Court
91 U.S. 536
Lower v. United States
ERROR to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Illinois.
The town of Ohio, in the county of Bureau and state of Illinois, issued coupon bonds, bearing date Jan. 1 1871, by way of payment for its subscription to the stock of the Illinois Grand Trunk Railway. Such subscription had been made as authorized by an act of the General Assembly of that State in force March 25, 1869, which provided that it should be the duty of the proper authorities of the town to provide for the prompt payment of all interest and other liabilities accruing on such bonds, and to levy such taxes as may be necessary therefor as other taxes are levied. Private Laws of 1869, vol. iii. p. 307.
George O. Marcy, the holder of overdue and unpaid coupons attached to such bonds, brought suit in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Illinois against the town, and on the twelfth day of March, 1873, recovered judgment for the sum of $4,286.60 and costs of suit.
On the fifteenth day of September, 1874, $1,500 was paid at the treasury of the State on said judgment. Marcy then presented a claim for the balance due thereon to the board of auditors of the town, who are the plaintiffs in error, and demanded that the same should be audited and certified to the town-clerk, in order that provision might be made for the payment thereof, according to the township organization and revenue laws of the State. The board allowed the sum of $871.78, but refused to audit the remainder, amounting to $2,516.85, so that he was unable to obtain the necessary levy and collection of taxes for the purpose of satisfying it. Whereupon Marcy filed a petition for a mandamus against the board.
The board, in their answer, admitting the issue and validity of the bonds and the rendition of the judgment upon the coupons, set up that said bonds were registered at the office of the Auditor of Public Accounts of the State, and that each of them and of the coupons thereto attached was payable at the office of the State treasurer, under and by virtue of an act entitled 'An Act to fund and provide for paying the railroad debts of counties, townships, cities, and towns,' in force April 16, 1869; and that the mode of collecting the bonds and coupons, or the judgment rendered thereon, was fully and solely prescribed by the provisions of that act.
Submitted on printed arguments by Mr. J. J. Herron and Mr. T. Lyle Dickey for the plaintiffs in error, and by Mr. George O. Ide, contra.
MR. JUSTICE DAVIS delivered the opinion of the court.

# Les Misérables/Volume 3/Book Eighth/Chapter 18

Suddenly, the distant and melancholy vibration of a clock shook the panes. Six o'clock was striking from Saint-Medard.
Jondrette marked off each stroke with a toss of his head. When the sixth had struck, he snuffed the candle with his fingers.
Then he began to pace up and down the room, listened at the corridor, walked on again, then listened once more.
"Provided only that he comes!" he muttered, then he returned to his chair.
He had hardly reseated himself when the door opened.
Mother Jondrette had opened it, and now remained in the corridor making a horrible, amiable grimace, which one of the holes of the dark-lantern illuminated from below.
"Enter, sir," she said.
"Enter, my benefactor," repeated Jondrette, rising hastily.
M. Leblanc made his appearance.
He wore an air of serenity which rendered him singularly venerable.
He laid four louis on the table.
"Monsieur Fabantou," said he, "this is for your rent and your most pressing necessities. We will attend to the rest hereafter."
"May God requite it to you, my generous benefactor!" said Jondrette.
And rapidly approaching his wife:--
"Dismiss the carriage!"
She slipped out while her husband was lavishing salutes and offering M. Leblanc a chair. An instant later she returned and whispered in his ear:--
"'Tis done."
The snow, which had not ceased falling since the morning, was so deep that the arrival of the fiacre had not been audible, and they did not now hear its departure.
Meanwhile, M. Leblanc had seated himself.
Jondrette had taken possession of the other chair, facing M. Leblanc.
Now, in order to form an idea of the scene which is to follow, let the reader picture to himself in his own mind, a cold night, the solitudes of the Salpetriere covered with snow and white as winding-sheets in the moonlight, the taper-like lights of the street lanterns which shone redly here and there along those tragic boulevards, and the long rows of black elms, not a passer-by for perhaps a quarter of a league around, the Gorbeau hovel, at its highest pitch of silence, of horror, and of darkness; in that building, in the midst of those solitudes, in the midst of that darkness, the vast Jondrette garret lighted by a single candle, and in that den two men seated at a table, M. Leblanc tranquil, Jondrette smiling and alarming, the Jondrette woman, the female wolf, in one corner, and, behind the partition, Marius, invisible, erect, not losing a word, not missing a single movement, his eye on the watch, and pistol in hand.
However, Marius experienced only an emotion of horror, but no fear. He clasped the stock of the pistol firmly and felt reassured. "I shall be able to stop that wretch whenever I please," he thought.
He felt that the police were there somewhere in ambuscade, waiting for the signal agreed upon and ready to stretch out their arm.
Moreover, he was in hopes, that this violent encounter between Jondrette and M. Leblanc would cast some light on all the things which he was interested in learning.
