published MonAy evening says:
More surprises are in store for the
people most interested in the whisky
trust cases before another twenty-four
hours have elapsed. 1t is not i'm
probable say those who arc in posi-
ton to know, that arrests will be made
on indictments found by the federal
grand jury now in session in this city,
which will create a profound sensa-
ton. Indictments have resulted from
the prosecution of the whisky trust
officials and the charge contained in
them is that of tampering with the
members Of a grand jury and of at
tempting to prevent the finding OF au
indictment The matter has been
kept exceedingly quiet. District At
