The reported indictment of ex.District
Attorney Samuel G. Courtney by the
United States Grand Jury. is wholly with
out foundation. This statement is made
on the authority Of Judge Noah Davis,
United States attorney. Mr.. Courtney
appeared in court this morning, and de-
manded to be informed whether any in
dictment had been found, and was in
formed that none had been. The state
ment that General Butler and number
of Custom House officials were endeavor-
ing to secure indictments against Mr..
Courtney or Mr.. Murray Is also untrue.
The attempt to have Mr.. Courtney
indicted is declared to be entirely mali
cious, inasmuch as his conduct has never
been impeached. It is now nearly four
years since his connection with the Dis
trict Attorneys Office.
