Robert +. Lindsay, the president OF
the Real Estate Loan and Trust com
pany. of St. Louis and the leader of the
conversation in his private office on the
night in question, was man of in
creasing prominence in his state. lie
was the son of James Lindsay, who had
located in st. Louis in 1884.
Lindsay Sr became the editor of the
first free soil' paper published in Mis-
souri,, and was later sent to the legisla-
ture as a Benton democrat" During
the early days of the war, while Ulysses
S. Grant was recruiting the regiment
at the head of which he made his first
leaps toward military greatness, he
went to Iron county, Mo, in the south
east part of the state, and became ac-
quainted with James Lindsay, making
the latter's log house his headquarters
in the county.
Because am held to the dead level of
history in these narratives and not per-
mitted to indulge in the temptations to
flights of romance that constantly pre-
sent themselves, | am here forced to call
attention to trait in the character of
Grant that was in great measure re-
sponsible for the Missouri land thefts.
In his sojournings at the Lindsay
home Grant conceived strong personal
liking for his host. and after he was
elected president he appointed his
friend Lindsay pension agent at st.
Louis. To this trust Lindsay proved
recreant and was soon found $4,000
short in his accounts. This brought
about his removal from that Office, but il
did not deter Grant from appointing him
registrar of the Ironton land office in
1877, just before his second term expired.
thereby indicating the bulldog con-
stancy with which the great military
genius clung to his old friendships
whether the objects of them were wor-
thy or not
Robert l.. Lindsay, the son, inherited
many of the traits of his father, the
keenness of mind, geniality of manner
and, unfortunately, the shifty standard
of morals. The younger Lindsay was
educated in the law and had he centered
his energies on the practice of that pro-
fession along honorable lines he would
have attained place of prominence
among lawyers. Instead he turned from
the law to real estate, and early in his
career began the development OF the
most gigantic steal of the century. It
is around this swindle, with Robert L.
Lindsay as the pivotal character, that
this bit of history turns.

frauds were being perpetrated in Mis-
souri, in land matters, and roughly in
dicated the method by which the
stealing was being done. Secretary
Schurz had turned the communication
over to Chief Brooks, and it soon
reached me.
The preliminary investigations were
made by me in my capacity of secret
service operative, and in making
them it became necessary to incur
what at that time was an unusually
heavy item of expense in having alb.
stracts of title made. At that time
the total government appropriation
for the secret division was only
100000 a year. an amount but $40 600
greater than was recently allowed for
the search for the plate from which
500 counterfeit bill was being made.
For this reason arrangements were
made ostensibly severing my connec-
tion with the secret and making me
a special agent of the interior depart
ment for the purpose of the land fraud
investigation.
1t will be necessary for me- at the
hazard of lapsing into technicalities.
to set forth briefly the law governing
the acquisition Of the class of lands
dealt in by the thieves. This par
ticular law went into effect in August.
1854, and was generally known as the
graduation act" In Missouri it came
to be known as the "bit acre" act,
this title springing from the fact that
the price to be paid per acre under the
act was 12la cents, or bit in Mis-
souri, parlance. The act provided that
any citizen of the United States over
u could make application for 320
acres of land in the prescribed dis
trict, and must actually settle on the
land applied for within six months
Of application. In one year from
the end Of this six months period the
settler was required to appear at the
land Office of the district and make
affidavit that he had settled on the
land and had improved and cultivated
it according to description filed with
the registrar at the same time. To
the fact of settlement and improve
ment there had to be two witnesses,
neighbors, who were required to swear
to the facts as set forth by the appli-
cant.
