Bribery Claim Not Sent to Grand Jury
United States District Attorney Baker informed the district commissioners that a letter and affidavit mentioning F Gibbs of a local fire company and inspector Lawson regarding fire cape installations failed to present sufficient evidence for grand jury consideration. Baker said the record does not show Gibbs intended to influence Lawson on any matter or induce fraud, and the affidavit merely reflects Lawson’s sworn explanation, not an attempted bribery.
