Kansas City Journal of Commesre, Kansag City has been the headquarters or principal polnt of operation of one of the most Rigantic land swindiescver perpetrated, rivaling in money valucand extent the griat whisky frauds. Not only ins the Government sufferod, but fonocent partiea fn all parts of the country hase been caught in the meshes skillfully latd by the consummate actors, Threo well-known citizens of Kansas City were chief actors in the affair—), R, Ham, Edward L, 8tevens, and George W, Miller. The schemne originated with J. R Ham and s man pamed Thomas Tullls, living ot Austin, Tex. Bome thirteen years ago Ilam sold out his saloon In Knnsas City, sfuce which time It bas been zenerally known that he Lias been dabbling in Texas lands. ‘Fullis and Ham first began thelr operations by examining the okl records of varlous coun- tics, and where the titles were fnvested in par- ties who hiad mot been heand from for some time they would personste the ahsent owner. The next step was to secure confederates at dif- ferent polnts to represent themselvesasthe tnlss- ing vartics, New Orleans und Iudianapolls wero the chief polnts, althouch many minor places have since furnished the quota of ¥ Texas land- owners.”” Another plan‘for securing titles to the land was to tnake duplieate coples of deeds, issie fraudulent serlp for the purchase of lond, and even deal in counterfeit inoney, to mako bona fide purchases, The scheme grew on apace, other parties were brought into the gang, until finally not less than sixty partics living in some thirteen different States were directly and Indi- rectly interested in the profits of the stenl. Among them were Edward L. Stevens and UGeorgo W. Miller, 8tevens’ connectlon with the concern dates back abont four years, ot which time, and for mouths thereafter, he was conmecttd with the Narrow Gauge Raflrond iu an ofticlal capacity, It Is not kuow at just what tima MRler began to act with Ham. Indeed, but Hitle could be learned of s doings, further than that he acted as banker for the concern, and, befug n good penmnan, made trnmurlnls of Important papers, an forged the sinatures of partles whenever neces- sary. A pambler by profession, Miller s cred- Ited with haviug soine $28,000 on denoslt in the Mastin Hank, and une timohonored a dralt from Ilam, sent from Texas, for £20,000, to enable the Jatter to manipulate one of his targest achiemnes, Btevena is credited with first havine gouo luta the aflalr innocently, aud agalnst the wishes of his wifo and friends, who_cautioned Nihin agzalnst havingany doalings with Ham, who, it scems, firat fndlucedd' him to trade his Narrow Guuge and Wyandatto Gins Company stock for OO0 ncres of Toxas Jands., After this, scemed to hove bocome Infatunted with ~ the money-making scheme, and acted In full consort whth the others, aud was _known in Texas as a Kansas Clty lawyer, The better to enable them to carry on thelr plan of onerations, Ham and his confeder- ates had imade duplicate covles of the notarlal und other seals, aud liad obtained thesiznatures of many olficials. Haw even went go far os to nurchase type, and caused to be printed in Kunsas City blank forms and perfect coples of deeds necessary to hMs use. A Journal reporter has vxamined documents printed by Ham that are exact coples of the originals, Hum and Stevens found it m.-cuum?' to work under many allagcs, Ham having no less thon thirty, and Stevena thirteen, Our readers will uo doubt be surprised to learn thot our IHam_ was known clsewhere aa J, P, Bates, Jf.
