Attempting to Bribe Jurymen iri Startling Developments SOLOMAN A CHICAGO Oct special grand jury called on Saturday to consider the dence in the Cronin jury bribery acy remained in session till o'clock at night at which hour they re- turned with indictments against six Alexander L Hanks Mark L Soloman Frederick W Smith Thomas Kavanaugh Jeremiah and Joseph Konen The indictment contains four counts The first count charges a acy of these six men with divers others unknown to commit the ony of bribery T li e second charges an conspiracy to commit ery The third charges a acy to do an illegal act to the A of lic wit jury bribing The fourth sets out in de- tail the methods adopted by the indicted The conspiracy in each count is charged to have been made August and on divers other days since The report that accompanied the indictment was short and simply stated what tho grand jury had done After their report and the return of the indictments found bers of the grand j ury were thanked by Judge Morton for their services and discharged The names of the witnesses in- on the in- e n t Louis Alexander H C Maley 11 11 KOU H Wolf Eddie Hoagland George Schlagel and Ed Brodic The court instructed the clerk that tho bonds in each case would bo fixed at All of the indicted men were arrested Mr declares that the dence tho indicted men IK eivo It said that the prisoners realize this Three of those indicted have ted their guilt and arc said to have made admissions implicating the three who have confessed and two others not yet in- This statement is made on the of a person who is connected with the prosecution The connection of the men indicted with the bribery conspiracy will probably be best understood by a statement of who and what the men ziro Frederick W Smith is ostensibly a waro manufacturer's agent at Lake street Ho is married and lives at La Salle avenue He comes from Connecticut His father-in-law is and it is thought he is no other than the James Keynolds of New who is the of the triangle This however Smith donios Mr Hynes says Smith was indicted for perjury in Smith's method of approaching was described by two or three of tho mon summoned to the State's Attorney's cilice One of them said Smith met him on the street one day and him how would like to on Cronin jury adding There's boodle in The man replied that his business would not allow him to servo on tho jury Smith fixed the amount of boodle there was in it at The man said he was busy but would talk about it again He then reported the offer he received to his employer in a ond interview with Smith the latter re- his A business man whose name in on tho list furnished gives n substantially similar account of the manner in which lie was approached Smith made some tion in this amounts he To the book-keeper for a man to whom he had he only offered j Thomas Cavanaugh another of tho in- men hns not gained notoriety for the time was the engineer at the county insane asylum during the boodle days and his name and management at that institution figured frequently in the investigation of that institution made by the Stale of in November Ho is a member of the ami seems to have been furnished with ample funds for his latest exploits is a recently pointed United States ganger at South He was for a years a conductor on tho West side He says I Kavanaugh on the street one day and was asked by him if ho would assist in acquitting the de- fense by securing a juror who would vote That way for money Kavanaugh promised to pay the money out of his own remembered a friend he had out in Calumet and struck a gain with Ho then approached his friend who is not much more than a j boy expressing his own views on the ease instructing the man to the lawyers questions and promising him L Hanks in uu appointee in shei Ho is about years old and came originally from Cincinnati He lias bad little or nothing to do with jurors He one of the Slaving immediate charge the prisoners He sat every day just behind Hanks like inan approached jurors he knew One of the men on tho list said Hanks had been to sec him and told him he could get fora verdict for tho de- fense Hanks further told him how to answer and that tho defense is nil right and will understand yon Mark L Soloman is n young man who has been considerable of a in the Tonih ward Ho appointed by Sherill Mai son a year ago confession in ita material points is that ho was handed n list of cor- rupt or corruptible jurors by Bailiff ander L Hanks who wo got a man on this jury to fix It or if yon fix man it means half of it for the juror nnd tho other half for us Further man was to approach the he and Hanks he was acquainted with The man Konen A fruit dealer of 243 street He has been summoned as a juror but has hot been examined He was offered to go on the jury with a promise of In case of an acquittal He failed to report this to the authorities leading to the inference that he had accepted tho offer and for this reason doubtless ho was Indicted The latest arrest made by the police is that of John Graham a lawyer who has been in A S Trude's office Graham it is alleged has been mixed up in the bribing plot unearthed by tho authorities The grand jury hns returned an ment against John Graham as well true bills against the six men indicted day Judge McConnell has appointed Charles L a member of the Chicago Bar Association a special bailiff to summon It looks now as though the conspiracy was conducted by three different lines of workers One was handled by Tom on his own account probably though he may have been coached or in- cited to the scheme by some one higher Pred Smith was tho second member of a second of the plot Hanks was the operator of the third branch Smith's principal is under ar- rest Hanks chief will probably be soon arrested The head of the whole affair who directed the leaders of the different lines of the scheme is yet under cover Lut the authorities are very close to him It was rumored that Smith's employer had confessed to his share in the conspiracy and had given up the name of his principal Other arrests are sure to follow is now suspected of being a member of the conspiracy which resulted in Dr Cronin's murder as well as the latter plot to defeat the ends of justice One of the first questions asked after the discovery of the conspiracy was whether the attorneys for the defense were aware of it At first the attorneys for the Slate were disposed to ate them from all knowledge of it later there was a disposition to withdraw this acquittal Tom Kavanaugh though he refused to say who supplied him with money is said to have declared that he reported to Mr Forrest The statement of the man approached by Bailiff Hanks that the bailiff said the defense is fixed for to the same thing So does the apparently uni- form method of instructing tho approached jurors as to their method of answering and their demeanor in the jury box Attorney Forrest denies emphatically that the subject of was ever broached to him either by Kavanaugh or any one else He said to a reporter that the discovery of the plot was as much of a surprise to him as to auy one In Chicago He had received not the slightest tion that the jury was being tampered with and had he known such a thing was going on ho would certainly have stopped it His own interests would pre- vent his being implicated m such tices The other lawyers for the defense were equally emphatic in their denials of knowledge of the plot and denounce it thoroughly Attorney Foster counsel for Beggs J will say that I think it a crave blow to the defense People nre now diced against the suspects and this attempted jury bribing will unquestionably tend to in- crease that feeling of hostility Nothing more serious could have happened and tho have reason to regret thy efforts of their friends or whoever it was who started tho scheme What of the jurors who have already been 1 do not think they have been tampered with The one great fear in tins case has been that of getting a prejudiced jury The mon who have been accepted have been accepted with fear and A CHURCH Dr Famous Tabernacle Burned to the Ground THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE

thrown solidly as it probably will be both State and tional elections is likely to become an im- portant factor in that State Negotiations now in progress with other Indian tribes will soon make many thousands more Indian voters At the Interior Department it is thought that upwards of Indians will be en- titled to vote in the next Presidential tion How tho rod man will conduct himself as apart and

nearest sent an alarm The firemen found the fire Ifad assumed large proportions and additional alarms calling all available apparatus were at sent in It became evident that the edifice was doomed to destruction It burned like a and the firemen despairing oi saving it directed their efforts to the ad- joining property Many of the occupants of the neighboring dwellings were already awake and the police proceeded to arouse those who were sleeping The three-story frame structure at Schermerhorn street adjoining the church on the east side was the first to take fire and a similar structure followed was also damaged On the west side of the church the flames extended to two brick dwellings and on the opposite side of street a row three-story brick dwellings to suffered from the intense heat dow glass was broken and The residents of the neighborhood ened either by the roar oi the flames or ty the pounding of the police upon their doors became frightened and rushed out half-dressed and in clothes and the police had great difficulty in assuring them that they were in 110 danger Fortunately there was no loss of life or limb Tbe police carried out one old lady from street and placed her in a house at a safe distance All the inmates were able to care for themselves But while the firemen and the police worked for the salvation of property and people the doomed church building was being consumed and in an hour's time only tottering walls remained Dr was on the scene soon after the first alarm and did not leave until he had seen the edifice which had been his pride laid in ashes The of the fire is unknown but it is that it may have been caused by lightning The loss on tho church building including the organ which was one of tho finest in the country is It to bo
