The su- peror court judge openly accused Thomas J. McNichols, prominent re- publican member of the county board. of having accepted more than $l00.O00 for the purpose of influencing grand jury in case where a man was charged with murder and not indicted. Judge Payne produced sealed envelope which he said contained check for $500 and indorsed by Commissioner McNichols as the re- cipient of the money. which was paid to him for the above purpose. The accusa- ton created a sensation in the county building and the commissioners anxious ly await the reply of MT. McNchols. who Is in Springfield. The December grand jury is the one which has become noto- rious for the aii-ged solicitation ano re- ceipt of bribes from bucket shop own CTS.
