Kansas City, Mo., October 19. A gigantic swindle was brought to light yesterday. J R Hall, Edward L Stevens and Geo W Miller,' were arrested - on a requisition from Governor Hubbard, of Texas, charged with forging land titles and issuing fraudulent deeds for area tracts of land r m Texas. " The scheme of fraud was organized by Hall and another person named Thos Tunis, of Austin, Texas.1 Hall lives here, and through bis persuasion Stevens and Miller were brought into the plot. Ste venswho is a lawyer and son of Judge Stevens of this city, ;is believed to have gone into the operations innocently at first i by purchasing 14,000 acres of Texas lands from Mall, butsubsequent- y becoming lascmated by the oppotr tunrties offered "for making, money, rapidly entered freely into tbe swind ling- conspiracy and was - known in Aexas as a Kansas uuy lawyer. In order to better secure the success of these plans, Hall and his confeder ates caused to be made duplicate copies of notaries and other seals, and procured specimens of the signatures of numerous State officials of Texas. They also caused to be printed' blank forms, and exact copies of deeds neces sary for their transactions. All titles and patents used by them, and repre senting either the general governm ent or the State lands, were ; forged. ' An immense amount of land nas been conveyed by them under many differ ent aliases to many different persons. About a year ago the attention of Gov Hubbard was called to the, fact, and on ooking into it, he was shown that a monstrous swindle had been perpetrat edinvolving the interests of both' the State of Texas and the United States. The authorities at Washington were notified of the facts discovered, and Special Agent Foster was sent out here where he obtained clues to the authors of the swindle, which have been close :y followed ever since, resulting in the arrest of sixty persons employed in yarious parts of the counntry who be long to the gang. NO less than 13 court houses have been set on fire and burned during the past year to destroy evidence that could have been brought against the conspirators. Hall, Stevens and Miller left for Texas, yesterday, in the custody of officers from that State. THE WAR. terests.
