told him | would go to Missouri to
look at the lands, and asked for de-
scriptions which he cheerfully gave
me.
He went further, instructing me to
make myself known to the clerk of
the Missouri county to which | was
supposed to be going. This clerk, he
said, would be gla1 to show me the
land at his, Van fIise's, expense, and
would give me all the information rela-
tive to this and other points l might
desire. This bit of accommodation on
Van Hises part indicated clearly the
hold the leaguers had on certain
county officials, AMI the part the lat
ter played in the marketing of the
stolen goods.
My plan was to conduct negotiations
with Lindsay and Van Hise in such
way that they would have the deeds
to the land they were to sell Stedman
and me in their respective Offices on
the day the arrests were to be made,
thereby providing fresh evidence to
be used against them in the courts.
There was no hitch in this plan Lind
say followed up the negotiations
opened by Stedman with the celebrity

necessary only to prove the forgery.
Some of this work was done so clever
ly that at the trial of these men per-
sons whose signatures had been forged
claimed the forgeries as their own
writing. The case against the Pitts
burg contingent Was established prin-
cipally by comparisons in the govern
ment land Office. These members Of
the ring we therefore made a second
airy issue of, pending the execution of a
plan to catch Lindsay and Van Hise
in such way they could find no loop
hole for escape.
Developments up to this time had
revealed not less than 20 active mem
bers OF the land league AS might be
expected, they all were in close touch
with one another, and with the ring
leader, and it became apparent that
in order to capture all and effectually
smash the ring some plan would have
to be devised whereby the federal au-
thorities could move against them all
simultaneously. Still placing most
Importance on making sound cases
against Lindsay and Van Hise, I
called to my assistance E. M. Sted-
man, secret service operative of
much ability.
Assume the role of a lumberman
looking for site to operate a mill, y
were my instructions, go to Shannon
county and open negotiations with
Lindsay personally for tract of tim.

told him who was, and, briefly,

told him who l was, and, briefly,
what he was wanted for.
'All right" he said, coolly, reaching
for his hat, "but you came just in
time to spoil big trade for me-"
Then he became indignant.
This is an outrage" he said,
angrily; "a plot put up by Carl
Schurz to ruin me. It's the work of
the id reformers in the republican
party, and is going to hurt the party"
AS nearly at the same instant as
was physically possible, the arrests of
a score or more Of the leaguers was
made in st. Louis and other cities. All
were placed under Londs, the furnish
ing OF bail being comparatively easy
matter for men of such prominence
and means as most of them were.
Then began most desperate fight for
freedom on the part of the land
leaguers-a fight in which was en-
ployed every agency from the infu-
ence of the highest dignitaries in the
republican party to the intimidation
of even minor witnesses by threats Of
lynching. Among the men who had
been carelessly let Tito possession of
discriminating information against
Lindsay was Frank Smith, an employe
of President Thompson, of the Boat
mems bank, of st. Louis, who had a
country seat at Ironton. One day the
following notice was sent to Smith
from mysterious source:

Der land, holding the deal open till
we are ready to act.
Stedman followed instructions i'm
plicitly. Attired as a sawmill man
of much means, he began negotiations
with Lindsay for Shannon county
lands. Lindsay took the bait and Of
fered to sell him a fine tract of 25,-
900 acres at so cents an acre. These
negotiations were conducted person
ally. Lindsay claimed to own the
land assuring a good title, and repre-
senting himself as the owner OF thou
sands of acres of other land in differ
ent counties in Missouri. Stedman
left Lindsay without closing the deal,
and went to Vinton, Ia, his supposed
home, to which place he told Lindsay
he had been called by important bust
ness From Vinton he wrote asking for
descriptions of other tracts. The pur
pose of opening such correspondence
was to get Lindsay on record in writ
ing. Again the arch conspiratOr swal-
lowed the bait, sending to Stednan in
his own handwriting descriptions of
various tracts he thought might be
suitable for his correspondents sup
posed purpose.
While in the east working on the
Pittsburg angle Of the case l wrote
from Erie, Pa, to Orlando Van Hise
in Cleveland, representing myself as
James Hall, sawmill owner, looking
for a new business base. Van Hises
advertisement of timber lands had at
tracted my attention, wrote. Van
Hise answered that he could sell me
$4,000 acres of desirable timber in one
: act, and suggested that l come to
him. So to Cleveland l went imme-
diately. Wearing the rough suit of
a lumberman, and with my trousers
tucked into the tops of my boots,
registered at the Weddell house under
still another name.
While the land ringsters up to this
time had no reason to believe they
were being watched, they had acquired
the trait of suspicion and alertness
common to all criminals, great and
small. / could afford to take no
chances of having my identity discov-
cred by Van Hise, and therefore at
every turn covered my tracks as we'll
as l knew how. In line with this pol
icy, l even took roundabout course
to Van Hise's Office in Superior street.
l introduced myself as the Erie party
who had written to him.
I'm glad to meet you, Mr.. Hall"
said Van Hise, effusively. After the
customary small talk that precedes
getting down to business he said:
$50 you are looking for timber lands.
Well, l believe | can furnish what
you want"
Have you much land of this kinda"
I asked
Plenty of it,"
AT what price?"
THAT depends on the land. If you
are prepared to take large tract,
can probably make you a price of so
cents an acre for land that will suit
your purpose"
What arrangements can you make
for time? | have a certain amount of
money. l have sold my 'muley' mill,
and am thinking Of buying a portable
circular mill. Until l decide on this
point | don't know just how will be
prepared to pay down on the land"
Those matters can be arranged to
suit you If you take the land and put
a mill on it, will have no fear of
your getting away from me without
paying the balance"
Our conversation was of the pleas
ant kind that marks deal about to
be closed Van Hise showed me elab-
