Machen Indicted by Federal Grand Jury in Postal Case
Washington June 5 The grand jury returned an indictment against August W Machen former superintendent of the free delivery service in a post office graft case. The 25 page document accuses him of conspiring with Groff Brothers to obtain fasteners at a marked up price and promises a share of proceeds. Machen asserts he acted legally and that the government has misread his conduct while his counsel criticizes the delay and seeks a full public examination of the charges. The case portends further hearings and the Groff matter may be taken up next week.
