 PREFACE
The inventory of Federal Arp_h_'g_e_§_ in the States is one of the pro-
ducts of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which operated as

I a nation—wide project of the Works Progress Administration from January

3 l, 1936 to June 30, 1937, and has been continued since that date as a

. unit of the Historical Records Survey, also operating; as a, nation—wide

‘ project of the Works Progress Administration, and a group of state or

3,; local projects of that Administration and of the Work Projects Adminis—
‘ tration.
' The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows:

‘ Series I consists of reports on the administrationof the Survey, acknowl—
edgments, and general discussions of the location, condition, and con-
tent of federal archives in the states. Succeeding; series contain the

' detailed information secured by workers of the Survey, in inventory
form, a separate series number being assigned to each of the executive

, departments (except the Department of State) and other major units of _
the Federal Government. Within each series No. l is a general intro—
duction to the field organization and records of the governmental agency
concerned; the succeeding numbers contain the inventory proper, sepa—
rate numbers being assigned to each state in alphabetical order. Thus,
in each series, the inventory for Alabama is No. 2, that for Arizona, 170.
3, that for Arkansas 1'10. 4, etc.

For each local office information regarding each series, or unit of

A related records, is presented in the following order: title, inclusive
dates (“to date" indicating an Open file at the time the information
was secured), general description of informational content, description

, of the system of filing or indexing (if any), a statement of frequency
and purpose of use, form of the record itself (bound volumes, sheets in
folders, etc,), linear footage, description of the containers, physical -

‘ condition of the records (not stated if satisfactory), location by room
number or other identifying information, and finally, the number of the
Form 588A on which this informationwas originally recorded by a Survey
worker and from which it was abstracted for the Inventory. This form is ,

V on file in The National Archives. When it contains substantial informa-

‘ tion on addenda sheets which has not been included in the mimeographed
abstract, indication of this is given by use of the reference "See
addenda." ' '

In Ohio the work of the Survey was under the direction of Dr. William D.

Overman with Mr. William M, Verross as his assistant until February 15,

. ' 1937. At that time Mr. Verross became director and served until February
1938. Since then Federal archives work: has been under the technical
direction of the Ohio Historical Records Survey Project. Dr. John H,

I'vIci-iimi, in charge of the Federal Archives unit, assisted by Mr, Wilbert R,

Bruce, classified and edited the materials. This inventory of the rec—

ords of the Department of Justice was prepared. in the Columbus office

of the Survey and was edited, before final typing, by Mr. R, R, Stenberg

‘ of the Washington office.

e INTRODUCTION
» An Attorney General was appointed by the Judiciary act of 1789 but
. he had no department under him. For decades he had no supervision or
control over those presumably working under his direction. The dis—
trict attorneys and marshals throughout the country were practically
‘ autonomous. Edmund Randolph, the first Attorney General, perceiving
the weakness of such a system, recommended that the Attorney General be
j given control over the district attorneys.1 This control was not
granted until 1861,8 The act of 1861 required the district attorneys
and marshals to submit reports to the Attorney General, and provided
him with clerks to inspect these reports.3 As early as 1867 a bill was
introduced in the House of Representatives to bring "all the law offi-
cers of the government into one department."4 The Department of Justice
was not created, however, until June 22, 1870, when the Attorney Gen-
eral at last became the head of an executive department.

Congress authorized the first Federal district court in Ohio in 1805
to sit at "the seat of Government." A district attorney and marshal
were provided.5 Because Chillicothe was "the seat of government," the
first United States district attorney and marshal in Ohio had their
official headquarters there. In 1807 Ohio was made a part of the
Seventh Circuit.6 and sessions of the circuit court were likewise to
be held at Chillicothe.

In 1816, after a struggle between politicians representing various

, localities, Columbus was made the state capital,7 and four years later
Congress ordained that the district Court in the Ohio district and the

were compiled and edited by Richard Peters (Boston, 1848-1856); Vols., IX
and X by George Minot (Boston, 1851, 1863); Vol. XI by George Minot and
George P. Sanger (Boston, 1859); Vols. XII—XVII by George P, Sanger

Sixth Circuit. (31:. _s. Stat. :11 Large, XIV, 209).

circuit court should meet in that city. The district attorney and mar—
shal accordingly shifted their headquarters.8 These courts remained at
Columbus until 1842, when they moved to Cincinnati. The law of 1842
, also authorized an adjourned term of the district court for Cleveland,9
' Inasmuch as there was no mention in the law to the effect that an attor—
ney or marshal was to be instituted at Cleveland, it must be assumed
that the officials who had been serving in those capacities elsewhere
‘ were to serve as well in that city.
‘ In 1855 Ohio was divided into two districts, northern and southern.
Cleveland was designated as the seat of the northern District, and Cin~
' cinnati as that of the Southern. A district attorney and marshal were
ordered appointed for the Southern District; the district attorney and
marshal who had previously served the whole state were now attached to
the Northern District.10

In 1878 the Eorthern District was divided into Eastern and Western
divisions. Cleveland was made the seat of the eastern division, and
Toledo that of the Western; but no additional clerk or marshal was
appointed, and it was stipulated that resords and papers pertaining to
cases in the Western division were to be transferred to the deputy clenr
in Toledo.11 This makes it reasonable to assume that a deputy clerk had
been created at Toledo in 1872, when optional sessions of the district

I court were authorized for that city. The deputy marshal was probably
installed there about the same time.12

The Southern District was divided in 1880 into the Eastern and West—
ern divisions. Cincinnati was to be the seat of the Western division,

' and Columbus that of the Eastern. It was specifically stated, however,

- that for the Eastern division "no additional clerk or marshal shall be
appointed in said district."13 At what date a deputy marshal was estab—
lished in Columbus in unknown. The office of district attorney was

7 created in that city about 1888.

By 1891 it had become evident that the Supreme Court was so overbur—
dened that a subordinate Court of appeals was necessary. Hence there
was established in that year the Circuit Court of AppeaIS. The Sixth

' Circuit was to include the same territory as the old circuit court had,
that is, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The court was to
‘ hold seSSions in Cincinnati. A clerk and a marshal were provided for
the court.14

The Judiciary Act of 1911 provided that two terms of the district

- : court should be held each year at Youngstown. A deputy marshal was not
‘ - : placed in that city, however, until about 1922. A deputy marshal's

. office was established at Steubenville in 1920.

The office of the Special Attorney of the Lands Division, Department

‘ of Justice, was established at Zanesville on June 11, 1936. Its purpose

' is to handle all land title litigation and transactions originating with

the Soil Conservation Service and the Resettlement Administration in
effecting their programs in the Muskingum River Valley. It c00perates
in this work with the office of the Title Attorney of the Lands Division,
Department of Agriculture, at Columbus.

_ Offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation were opened in Cleve»

‘ land and Cincinnati in 1935. The Director of the Bureau has supervision
over investigations of violations of Federal laws except in those mat—
ters assigned to some other Federal body, "such as counterfeiting, postal
violations, customs violations, immigration and naturalization and
internal revenue matters."15

Prior to 1933 all War Risk Insurance litigation was handled by the
~ Veterans’ Administration. In that year, however, such activities were
- placed under the Bureau of War Risk Litigation, Department of Justice,
' The Bureau has chargeoi‘all litigation in connection with war risk
‘_ insurance, exclusive of claims in favor of the Government, and of mat—

‘ ters generally which arise under the World War Veterans' Aotznmlkindred
statutes. In this work it cooperates closely with the Veterans' Admin—
istration.

The date of the establishment of the United States Attorney's office
in Cincinnati is not known, but it is thought that it was set up in 1842
when the District Court was transferred from Columbus to that city. In
, any case, it remained under the direction of the Federal Judiciary until
. V . 1870, when the Department of Justice was created. Its jurisdiction
includes the area covered by the Western Division of the Southern Judi~
cial District of Ohio, in which it is charged with the prosecution of
violations of Federal statutes. It has been continuously located in the
Federal Building. Careful records have been kept, but those originating
prior to 1870 were probably placed in the custody of the Judiciary when '
the transfer to the newly created Department of Justice was made. None
of the records antedate 1884. They are fairly complete up to 1920. The
records since 1920 are sufficiently complete to give an accurate picture
of all activities of the office.
