Swann Denies Charges and Plans Hearing on Indictment
District Attorney Swann denies the City Club charges and says he filed an answer to Governor Whitman attacking the chief witness, Lucian Breckinridge. Breckinridge is held on $2,500 bail to plead to an indictment of soliciting a bribe, tied to a cloak and suit association. Indictments accuse Breckinridge of taking $500 to push prosecutions. Swann seeks delay and cites witness issues, with Alfred Talley and John Dooling to argue for removing charges.
