tive and attractive land de-
velopment. But at the same
time, thousands Of persons
particularly aging couples look
ing forward to retirement
have been taken in by I'M

Charges Reported
The Phoenix indictment
charged the defendants with
devising a scheme to defraud
starting at least as early as
July, 1861. The indictment
said that they obtained II
sections Of desert range land
in Mohave County. Ariz., sub
divided it into lots and sold the
lots on the mail-order INSTALL
ment plan.
The advertisements for the
mail-order sales described the
land as developed" and live
able now" fraudulently imply
ing that drinking water, power
lines and telephone lines existed
on the property. the indictment
said.
Last September. 1t said, the
defendants acquired a smaller
piece of land which had power
and telephone lines and a water
pipeline.
Although the more recently
acquired property was about
six miles from the nearest of
the earlier "rancheros," the
defendants falsely implied that
all the rancheros were equipped
with utility services, the indict-
ment said.
According to the indictment.
the original rates for q lK-acre
lot was $4o5 with terms Of 81
down and $40 q month: 5000
at 81 down and $40 a month
for a 2lz-acre lot. and 1865
at 81 down and $50 a month
for 5-acre lots. The indictment
alleged that the prices were in
creased. effective January /,
1862. to $685.. $l,lOO and $2,O96.
