"He confessed because he
was guilty and that is all there
is to it," declared District At

"He was counselled to con-
fess because that was the best
thing he could de-" said Clar-

bought from the state or private

then proceeded to advertise d 25,-
600 acre project under the
auspices Of the state and federal
governments. The matter was
called to the attention of Assistant
Attorney General Cobb and Secre-
tary of the Interior Fisher. An
investigation showed that the
amount of water had not. increased
and that there was not half enough
for $4,000 acres. The interior
officials took the view that the
public could not be permitted to
suffer from the promotion scheme.
Secretary Fisher served notice
upon the company and the state of
Nevada that if the alleged, mis-
leading advertisements were not
called in neither company nor the
state need expect that the n,0O0
acres asked for under the Carey
Act would be patented by the
