BENSON D[FT IN
LAND DEALINGS
Handiwork of Convicted Man
Appears in Suit Against the
Patrick Reddy Estate
Two Women Sign Deeds Repre-
sented to Be From Their
Attorney

The handiwork of John A. Benson,
convicted and sentenced with DR.. e. B..
Perrin of defrauding the United States
government out of timber lands, ap-
peared again yesterday when District
Judge Van Fleet, sitting in the United
States circuit court, sustained the de-
murrer interposed by the executor and
heirs of the estate of Patrick TEDDY
in an action instituted by the United
states toe recover from the estate zoo
acres of land. The normal defendants
to the action are Mollie Conklin and
Emily NJ Reddy, and Edward A. Reddy
as executor of the estate of the dead
lawyer.
1t is charged by, the government that
the land under dispute was obtained by
fraud From the facts considered and
passed upon by Judge Van Fleet it
appears that the real power and guide
behind the alleged crooked land
transaction was Benson. Patrick Reddy
owned $500 acres of land in Tulare
and Inyo counties when he died. At
ter his death the women entered into
a contract with Benson by which he
was to sell the land at $3.50 an acre,
According to the story told by Mol
lie Conklin and Emily Reddy, Benson
brought them papers to sign, repre-
senting that they We're from their at
torney, Joseph c. Campbell. The pa
pers were deeds to the land. Benson.
holding the deeds. turned the land over
to the government in exchange for
other lands, appropriatins them to
his own use.
The demurrer was sustained on the
ground that the United States was not
shown to- have been defrauded in the
matter of either land or money.
