THE WILSON INDICTMENT.
The Further Particulars of This Inter
estiDS Trial.

RALEIGH, Jan. 19.-turther partlc-
ulars of the Wilson Indictment say
that on the 18th, the solicitor of
this district sent to the grand jury
of the Superior court now in session
bill of Indictment against S. Otho
Wilson, who is chairman of the State
executive committee of the Third
party, and WHO is by all believed to
haye been the head Of the order Of
Gideonites. This promises to be the
beginning Of most notable trial.
There are various counts in the bill of
indictments; these charge that Wilson
was member of a secret political or
ganiZation known as Gidcon's band:
that he also used the organization for
the promotion of the interests OF the
Peoples party; that he used it for
the purpose of shaping the action Of
the Democratic convention from time
to time: that he communicated the
signs of the order to other members in
political conventions; that he was
guilty of administering extra judicial
oathS to other persons, and that being
member of an unlawful organization
he failed to sever his connection
with it.
There have been before the grand
jury as witnesses, ex-State Senator
Bell and Mr.. Dunn, Of Henderson.
