Columbus, Ohio, February THE
grand jury made another partial report
this afternoon indicting two more ex-
State Senators and making another in
dictment against Senator W. c. Gear
of Upper Sndusky, who was indicted
in the first partial report of the jury
The two others are George Iden, Of
Newark. and ]. Q. Abbott, Of Neon
nellsyille.
Abbott is charged with soliciting a
bribe in connection with a bill he had
introduced TO repeal the law requiring
all drug clerks to stand an eXamina-
tion in pharmacy. Iden is charged
with paying Senator OIL, who has al
ready been indicted, $500 to vote for a
bill which gave him, Iden, 500, as
contest expenses, and also for asking
Daniel Flanagan, editor Of the Kenton
Democrat, for $500 to kill a bill reor-
ganizing the school board Of that city
in the interest of the Republicans.
The new charge against Gear is for
asking Representative c. A. Flumer-
felt for $500 to secure the passage in
the Senate OF a bill giving him, Flum-
erfelt. $1,000 for contest expenses.
Gear was in the city and was at once ar
arrested. He gave bond.
Deputy sheriffs left at once for New
ark and McConnelIsville to arrest Iden
and Abbott
Senators Gear, Geyer and Oil ap-
peared in court this morning and en-
tered pleas Of not guilty to the indict-
meuts returned against them last week.
Judge Pugh stated to tho jury to-day
that he had definite information that
an attempt had been made TO tamper
with two members of the jury by per-
sons interested ia having no indict-
ments brought. As the person in whose
behalf the interference had been at
tempted had been indicted, the court
would take no action at this time in
the case.

Cincinnati, o., February IA trag-
edy after the manner Of Jack the Rip
per, occurred on the Alexandria road
in lonely part of the Kentucky High
lands, about a mile south of Fort
Thomas, about midnight last night.
The victim was a woman. Her head
less body was found this morning ter
riblv mutilated. No one knows yet
either murderer or victim. Blood
hounds were put on the track of the
fiend tonight.
All search to-day for the head OF the
woman has proven fruitless. Ii is con-
jectured she is an abandoned woman
from Cincinnati. but efforts 10 discOy-
er absentees in that class have failed.
The only clue to the persons in the
tragedy is the fact that a Fort Thomas
soldier saw a man and a woman truds-
ingalong the Alexandria pike last night,
and a sergeant later heard the voice oil
a woman screaming about midnight.
Otherwise the affair is wholly mystic
rious.
The bloodhounds put on the murder
ers track went to Covington reservoir
No. ., situated a mile northwest of Fort
Thomas, stopped at the edge of the wa
ter and barked vocif6rously. They
were taken away with difficulty. The
water will be drained from the reser-
voir tonight with the hopes of finding
the head of the dead woman and posi-
bly, the body of her murderer. The
scene Of the murder shows signs Of
struggle. It is believed a dull butcher
knife was used in severing the head
from the body. The victim appears TO
have been 35 years Old.
