Among his many accomplishments he managed to get himself indicted and convicted in the "Oregon Land Scandals" at the time he was a sitting senator of the United States. Mitchell managed to get himself fined and a six months prison sentence for election fraud in 1901. However he managed to die during the appeal process from complications related to a tooth extraction. On the positive side he actually managed to address a young National Geographic Society in April 1895.
