wALLA wALLA LYNCHERs.
The Grand Jury Finds True Bills Against
Seven Soldiers.

WALLA WALLA, June 9.-The grand
jury empanelled to investigate the
lynching of A. j. Hunt by SOL
diers, April 18th, made a report to
the superior court today. The report
says in part: eve found true bill
against seven enlisted men of the fourth
United States cavalry. We are satisfied
there are a number Of soldiers against
whom sufficient evidence has
not been procurable to warrant
an indictment that are equally guilty
with those indicted. There is no doubt
that Colonel Compton did not believe
his troops would make an at
tack upon the county Jail, but
he had sufficient warning of what
might have been expected, and negli-
gence existed in not taking
ample precaution to keep his
men under direct control pending
the excitement over the shooting. In
justice to Colonel Compton, though, we
will state that since the lynching he has
rendered the jury all the aid within his
power in our investigation.
If the sheriff had placed himself on
the inside of the Jail and used the
means within his power to protect his
prisoner, the attempt to lynch him
would have been frustrated.

RESIGNED TO HIS FATE.
.DEFAULTER BARDsLEY ARRAIGN-
ED ON SEVENTEEN COUNTS.
He Pleads Guilty to Every Charge-The
Supposition Is That He Will Make
Full Confession of His Stealings.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-John Bards-
ley, ex-city treasurer, was arraigned this
morning on seventeen separate indict-
ments, charging him with loaning
money as public officer, deriving gain
from the deposits of public money. aid
converting public money to his own use.
He pleaded guilty to every count. Two
weeks from today was set for the hear
ing of evidence, when the court would
pronounce sentence according to it's
weight.
While arguing for two weeks delay,
counsel for Bardsley said he was prepar-
ing statement for Bardsley, and it
would take most of that time to get it
ready. This caused a revival of the ru-
NOR that Bardsley intends to make a
confession of everything. y
Before the subcommittee, investigat-
ing Bardsley g affairs today, Mark Davis,
secretary and treasurer of the Bradford
mills, owned by him and Bardsley, tes-
titled that from January, 1889. to May,
1891, Bardsley sent him SAG. 1000 to be
used in the business. He had no reason
to suspect that this money did not be-
long to Bardsley, as in three years
Bardsley had given him $722, 900 ior the
same purpose.
Charles Lawrence, ex-assistant CASH
ier of the Keystone bank, testified that
he knew nothing of the Bardsley tran
sactions with the bank or the due bills
for $3.50 900 given him. Three years ago,
Lucas, the deceased president of the
bank, called upon him to make some
alteration in his personal ledger to cover
an overdraft. From this time on till
Lucas death, he continued to make
these alterations, Lucas drawing checks
on the bank when he had no money on
deposit. Witness and Marsh made
every effort to keep from Bank Exam
iner Drew, by means of false entries,
etc., knowledge of Lucas deficit.
John s. Davis, who was offered the
presidency of the bank in the event of
its reorganization, and declined after an
examination of it's affairs, said after
learning about the Lucas deficit, which
the bank people said was 5000 900, his
attention was attracted by the names of
persons unknown to him as business
men, who were also credited with being
indebted to the bank. Some of this in
debtedness was about $400, 900, and when
he asked who these people were, he was
told the money should be charged
against the Lucassdeficit.

kept couple of the worlds fair direc-

commission advocated Maxwell's cause,
and that gentleman himself entered the

before the ways and means committee
their plans for state exhibit. They
wanted to construct building similar

able nature. They represented that
they did not desire to enter into lucra-
tive business, but simply conduct club
which would pay the expenses ofscon-
tinually replenishing the display. The
commission was informed that the mat
ter would have to be settled, as other
privilege, by the payment of percent
age of the receipts for sales. The
use of the state building was mat
ter for the state commissioners.
II they wished to run restaurant or
saloon attachment it would have to
come under the rules governing other
such privileges. The commission re-
garded this as success for this mission.
The scheme has caused great deal OF
