 ThePenstOn Frauds-An Alleged item pt
 to Influence the Grand Jary.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The grand jury to. day brought in indictments against ". ". Fitzgerald and Andrew Webb, Washington pension claim agents, for violating pension laws by fraudulent use of the United States mails. Immediately after the grand jury had reported District Attorney CorkhilI called the attention of the court to an open letter from ". W. Fitzgerald addressed to the district attorney, which was published few days ago in one of the local journals here in which the writer criticised the district attorneys conduct in attempting to prosecute pension attorneys and also appearing as counsel for newspapers which Fitzgerald has sued for libel. District Attorney Corkhill said copy of this letter had been sent to each member of the grand jury in order to influence their action in violation of law. Judge Wiley said this was matter for the investigation of the grand jury itself to determine if an attempt had been made to influence them. If they could ascertain who sent the letters or papers and could learn from witnesses that the ob iect was to interfere with the deliberations of the grand jury. then the party so doing was liable to indictment
