know the precise location of Neff. But Mitchell gave no detail as to what steps he had taken to ascertain this. Deady, likely motivated by Mitchell's reputation for untrustworthiness, singled out the lack of detail in the affidavit as evidence that Mitchell had in fact taken no action to diligently search for Neff. Only after a diligent search had failed should Mitchell have been allowed to publish notice in a newspaper. Deady further calls out Mitchell's choice of a regional religious newspaper as not giving appropriate notice. A newspaper not well read in Oregon, let alone outside of the state, could hardly be expected to reach Neff. Deady's narrow approach focusing on whether Mitchell had done his due diligence represented his poor view of Mitchell and the high likelihood of fraud in the case. Dean Perdue thinks that Deady's narrow, notice based approach would have also worked well at the Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court took up the case with broad issues in mind.
350:, provides a description for Mitchell as an unethical and unskilled lawyer who used his significant charisma to find success, both in lawyering and later in his political career. Mitchell was more than willing to defraud his own clients. In one case, he acted as a guardian on behalf of a widow, wherein he moved to sell some of her land to supposedly pay for the expenses of the guardianship, turned around and bought the land himself at a cheap price and then resold it at market value for a sizeable profit. In another action, a client came to Mitchell looking for help with debt. Mitchell instead informed the creditors of the client's location, and was appointed as the debt collector. Mitchell then extorted the money out of his now victimized client. 487: 462:. His diaries have been preserved, and provide much information about his thoughts on the parties. He interacted with Mitchell and Pennoyer a fair amount, and had a negative view of each. However he held a much deeper dislike for Mitchell, whom he viewed as untrustworthy and immoral. Deady's diary entries concerning Mitchell (whom he started to refer to as Hipple) became increasingly acrimonious over the years, especially as Mitchell got deeper into politics. In 1873, Mitchell had been at the center of a corruption inquiry as part of his Senate election campaign. Mitchell characteristically escaped further investigation by bribing the Attorney General at the time, 259:, future governor of Oregon. Pennoyer held the land for eight years before Neff sought it back. Pennoyer lost in every action against Neff in an attempt to regain his land, including his action in Federal Court which would reach the Supreme Court. Pennoyer was extremely embittered by the process, and carried his hatred for the Supreme Court into his political career. There is speculation that the unethical Mitchell may have falsified the original lawsuit, which may have itself emerged from an illegal deal between Mitchell and Neff. In the end, Pennoyer was left without recourse due to Mitchell's faults, and Neff recovered the land. 31: 434:
been sheriff at the time of the sale. Though Neff had been prosperous in California, the Oregon action was apparently important enough to move his entire family there for a year to get his land back. An extremely bitter series of actions followed, starting with Neff successfully having Pennoyer evicted. Pennoyer fought over the costs of the eviction, and lost again. Neff then sued Pennoyer for the damage to his land from the timbering operation and won again. The only small victory for Pennoyer was that the jury awarded effectively no damages. Pennoyer
334: 584:. Dean Purdue cites this as the climactic fraud of Mitchell's life, and wonders how far back his frauds went, speculating that the original claim against Neff emerged from a nefarious deal between Neff and Mitchell. Though Dean Purdue acknowledges that such things cannot be known, she further guesses that the discrepancy from the small fee paid and the large fee sought could also have been the result of a bribe paid by Mitchell to an official to speed up the processing of Neff's patent, which was a common practice at the time. 447: 361:. Neff however failed to pay Mitchell the $ 300 he was allegedly owed for his services. Whether Neff actually owed Mitchell the $ 300 is doubtable, given the poor ethics of Mitchell. Neff reportedly paid $ 6.05, a sizeable sum less than claimed. Although the work was rendered from 1862 into 1863, Mitchell waited until 1865 to sue, likely waiting until Neff was out of the state. Mitchell sued for $ 253.15 plus legal fees (some $ 4,300 in 2020, adjusted for inflation). 318: 365: 314:
law required that requests for land be made by December 1, 1850. Neff appears to have missed the actual deadline to apply, as his application stated December 15, but December had been crossed out and September 15 had been put in its place (a date before the law had been passed). So began the first of numerous frauds that surrounded the case.
