FORAKER FLOORED
And His Grand Political Scheme Bad
Failure.


Failure.
COLUMBUS, o., October THE Frank
lin county grand jury reported this
morning and the final shot was fired at
Eoraker's keynote speech, and 1t is now
In order for that alleged official to retire
to a monastery. But two indictments
on insignificant charges were found
against ex.Officials OF the penitentiary.
Deputy Warden B. q. Marriott was In
dicted on the charge Of bribery, pre-
ferred by the convict, Alpheus Ballard,
of Greene county, who says that his wife
gave Marriott 5000 horse for a $3.50
one on condition that Ballard be given
an easy position in the hospital. Mr..
Marriott was met on the street soon after
the grand jury reported, and the fact of
his Indictment was made known to him.
He was perfectly unconeerned, and re-
piled: 80 you are certain they have In
dicted me. Well, I'll fight the case and
show up that the thing is
PURELY FOR POLITICAL EFFECT.
1t is an outrage that respectable Citi'
zens should be made the victims Of a
political scheme like this. But | see
that Ballard has already got his reward,
he Is now working about the stables
outside the wall; they must keep him
in training or he might refuse to per,
jure himself again"
ANOTHER HEINOUs CRIME.
The other victim is Mr.. Samuel Perry
Of Delaware county, brother-in-law Of
Ex-Governor Hoadly, and superintendent
% hn fof oh mora ftl
administration. SamuePs crime Is a
helnOus one, he Is charged with stealing
three suits Of clothes and pair of shoes
from the shops. There is no doubt but
what these clothes were taken, because
a brother-in law of the Governor would
want all the convict clothes and shoes
he could get hold of to wear on Sunday
As his trial will be great event 1t is
confidently expected that Mr.. Perry will
appear rObed in the stolen clothes. They
are valued at SAT and the indictment Ii
| for embeZzlement. This then Ia the re
suit of the enormous stealing In which
every official In the institution was I'm
plicated and which amounted to thou
sands of dollars per snnum. Governor
Foraker's letter file and desk are no
included In the above estlmate). Thl
action of the Grand Jury establishe
Foraker's reputation as malicious
falsifer, demagogue and an Idea
hypocrite, because Foraker Is q churcl
member and pretends to be a Christian
man.
THE "FORGERY" FIZZLE.
| No indictments were found In tb
famous 30S-508 forgery Of precinct a
Thirteenth ward. This was Foraker
greatest hold. He had positive proc
that the forgery was committed, an
yet no indictment was found. Thoma
Campbell, the insane horse thief, wh
was overcome with an epileptic Il
in the grand jury room, and John Fran
els, the murderer, who can neither spell
nor write his own name unless he learn
ed for this occasion, both pleaded guilt
in the grand jury room of having CON
mitted the forgery. AS the grand jar
was composed Of sane men they WEI
dlsgusted, and very properly refused
indict the c0lprits, who we're Workin
for either parole or pardon.
The soap bubble charges that none
was used in influencing delegates at tn
late Democratic judicial cOnVentio
we're also busted with the first breath
testimony, and the gang sent up a paiI
full wall as this news was carried
Foraker.
