Prosecution of Machen Moves to Grand Jury
Washington June 1 Officials handling Machen case decide to present evidence to the grand jury without a preliminary hearing. The plan aims to keep the government’s case secret from Machen and his lawyers while possibly indicting others on related counts. Rumors of State’s evidence by a broker and Machen’s offer to turn state’s evidence circulate but are unconfirmed. Rentals and salaries probes are clarified with figures showing New York post office rentals were 466 811 63 for the year, less than alleged excess. Inspectors focus on the Salaries and Allowances division. officials insist no criminality and promise decisive actions once invincible evidence is secured.
