Leased Through Lack af Evtdencc.

Waco. Texas. December 2.--E. n. Ennis.
the man who. giving his experience" after
being converted at revival meeting some
months ago. confessed to having been en-
gagged In the handling OF spurious silver
dollars. was released today. the Federal
grand jury having failed to ind any evil
dcnce OF the truth Of Ennis statements.
Ennis stands In the peculiar position OF
having sworn to the commission of a crime
and OF having expressed willingness TO
accept the consequences. yet his state
| mrnis as to his own guilt are nncorrobor-
| ated and therefore Insufficient to warrant
even an indictment.
Ennis story was lopg one. and involved
several other parties whom he said were
engaged with him In the cnunturfcitinE
business. These parties were also released
and the gigantic counterfst!Dg scheme un-
folded by Ennis in his confession turns out
TO be a fake. Ennis claimed TO he acting
with a gang OF counterfoiters, whose head
quarters were located In various large cities
In this country and In the City OF Mexico.
He contracted for the building ot a three
story brick house In this city last winter,
and started the construction but was forced
to abandon 1t for want OF money. lie said
when at work at 1t that the building was
intended for a factory wherein all kinds
Of toilet articles and fine cutlery would be
manufactured When he confessed" he
said the house was being built for the pur-
pose OF carrying on extensive counterfeit
ing. II is not believed that Ennis ever made
any counterfeit money ana his story is be-
lieved to have been the result OF a hallu-
cination.
The Federal grand Jury indicted the fol-
lowing parties: n. NJ Wade. illicit retail
liquor dealer: J. n. Delavcn. Henry Ward
and John Ward. having unlawfully In their
possession molds for the manufacture OF
