Secretary Gibson Indicted.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 16.-George H.
Gibson, secretary Of the whisky trust,
has been indicted by the grand jury for
purchasing and disposing of explosives
with the intention that they should be
used for the obstruction of the Schufeldt
distillery The indictment will be
turned into court tomorrow morning
and capins issued at once for the trust
magnate.
The bill could not be returned to-day
as the entire afternoon was spent in the
examination of witnesses, and it was
after 5 o'clock when the jurors were left
to themselves to consider the evidence
and vote on the indictment. No time
was taken up in the discussion, however.
The vote was taken at once, and every
juror voted to indict.
CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 16. The whisky
trust directors held an important and
secret meeting this morning, at which
the expose of the alleged plot to blow
up the Schufeldt distiIlery was discussed.
A statement to the public will be pre-
pared and issued. 1t is said that the
statement will exonerate Gibson and
will make an emphatic denial of any de-
sire or intention on the part of the trust
to injure Schufeldt.
To-day it was declared that Gibson
would make no effort to escape.
The whisky trust will, it is said, do as
much or more than anybody else to sift
the alleged conspiracy to the very bot
tom.
