bribe the jurors and Judge Longenecker as

elusive. After presenting the indictments

the States attorney says the case by no
means ends with the present indictments,
but will be very much more far reaching
than the most sanguine can suppose. Other
indictments may be expected to follow in
short order. When the matter is ripe, the
States attorney or one of his associates will
give detailed account of another branch of
the jury cribing conspiracy.
