THE BRIBERY CONSPIRACY.
Six of the suspected Ones Named and In
dictments Found.

Proceeding, the report here mentions
the testimony of Thomas c. Collins who
secured employment in O'Malley
6 Adams Office, and was commissioned a
special officer by the mayor and paid by
the city for this service. This report I'M
folds the whole story OF the iniquitous
workings of the arch-conspirato7 and his
lieutenants, revealing the boundl ess
power made to overcome and defy the
majesty of the la W, criminal and civil
proceedings, through the operations of an
INSCRIPTIONS private detective agency
In the attempts to influence talesmen
and the successful part of it, whispered
words conveyed the insinuation or direct
ly offered the IN oney influence. This ref
eSeuce will serve to show the barriers
This inquest has encountered in securing
evidence.
Indictments for Bribery.
"But sufficient was offered by voluntary
and reliable witnesses TO justify the in
dictment of six men as follows: Thomas
McCrystol and John Cooney. with D. c.
O'Malley, for attempting to bride a tales
man, and Bernard Gland, Charles
Granger, and Ferdinand Armant for an
attempt by each to bride three different
talesmen. These parties are clearly
shown to have been intimate with o NAL
ly, often at his office, informed of all
his doings, and We're active workers in
the jury fixing business generally" The
report, however, says that O'Malley WAS
the principal agent in corruptinG the jury,
and charges that McCrystol and Cooney
were old offenders, whose crimes run
back through number of years Ne
Crystol made a partial confession of
G tilt to the grand jury.
A Sort of General Indictment.
The report then goes into general in
dictment of Lionel Adams and the O'Mal-
lev detective agency, charging Adams
with crookedness in favor of O'Malley
when the former was district attorney and
the latter had been indicted for tampering
with witnesses, and stating that the
Adams Malley combine was a crooked
affair backed up by criminals of all sorts
al d conditions. O'Malley's criminal record
is shown up in decidedly dark colors. A
nj mber of suspicious circumstances are
noted in which O'Malley and suspected
pe-sons were the participants. The report
states that investigation develops the un
do 1bted existence of the "Mafia," the evil
de1ce being conclusive.

New ORLEANS, La, May 6.-The long
delayed report OF the grand jury in the
international affair of the parish prisoners
March IA, was presented late yesterday to
Judge MARI. 1t justifies the citizens. pre-
sents no indictments, and full condensa-
ton is given below. All the jurors sign
the report, which is first devoted to re-
cital of the facts of the killing of Hen
nessey, and a review of the trial of the
accused, ending with the statement that
the verdict was shock and disappoint-
ment, and resulted in the conviction that
the jury had been unfaithful to their
duty, and chat the evidence against the
prisoners was clear, continuous complete
and convincing. The allegations of jury
fixing are considered, and it is stated that
all the jurors were examined and made
statements freely, rather welcoming the
opportunity They nearly all justified
their verdict by the assertion that the
state had poor case.
Criticised the states Evidence.
This statement was made in the jury
room as early as the first day of the trial,
and repeated daily until the close, ana
was so frequently made that one of the
jurors, who believed the state had case,
early in the trial to destroy everything
remarked to one of the others that
he talked like he was slixed :"
The fact that all the jury agreed
in the way of writing that would show
what went on in the jury room is COM
meuted upon as having a suspicious looa,
as is also the alleged matte ntion of the
jury to the evidence, and the fact tn
repeated ballots as TO the guilt of Politz.
Scsffedo and Monasterio resulted six to
six for and against guilt.
Evidence of Jury FL king.
The grand jury then proceeds to exam
ine the allegations that the jury was
fixed. The report says that tales men who
had been previously marked were seen
alone, and told that there was big money

ing right, and that this temptation in
fuenced some while it was rejected by
others. This assertion is made on the evil
dence of talesmen who had refused to be
purchased. 1t is charged that the list
of talesmen was ordered to be kept secret,
but that Lionel Adams, counsel for the
prisoners, and Detective O'Malley pro-
cured in some manner a complete list Of
them almost immediately after they were
drawn, one of the jury commissioner
lately acknowledging alleged to have
been the person providing the list.
