Indictment of Trust Company Officers
NEW YORK, May -9.-E. A. -Hoyt, Com
missioner OF Indian Affairs and ey-presi-
dent OF th INTERNATIONAL Trust COMPANY,
OF jersey City. with F. D. karrand, C. n.
Field, and other officers OF the company,
have been indlcted By t!ie grand Jury or
Hudson county, n. j., for publishing n
statement of affairs Of company which
the bill alleges they well knew to be false,
and which was published with intent to in
duce persons to entrust their money with
the corporation. The Trust Company
failed lust year, owing depositors over
SIT7,000. Hoyt yesterday pleaded not
guilty, and declares that the prosecution is
melted by political motives. The Times,
however, says the grand jury which in
dicted him was drawn by a Republican
sheriff, and that other members OF the
Board Of Trustees were not indicted because
they were not active in directing its opera
lions, and probably knew nothing OF the
way. in which ITS business was managed.
