THE LATsTIMER AssAssINs.
Sheriff Martin and His Deputies In
dicted by the Grand Jury.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 2S.-The grand
jury today returned true bills against
Sheriff Martin and his deputies for the
Lattimer shooting. The true bills in
clude nineteen for murder for each man
killed and one for the victims consid-
cred collectively. Thirty-six true bills
were found in the same way for feloni-
Gus wounding against the same defend
ants. The fact that true bills have been
found occasions no surprise as this &C.
nored the bills the defendants would
have been at once rearrested. The likeli
hood is that Sheriff Martin and his
deputies will elect to be tried together.

who withdrew from the case at the
time of the preliminary hearing, indi-
Gates that the prosecution will be push

proposition to his government. accom-

BRYAN IN OHIO.
Claims Fraud In the Late Campaign
and Roasts Hanna.

Cincinnati, Oct. 2S.-The meetings of
w. ]. Bryan today and tonight were at
Mount Vernon, Newark and Shawnee,
and were all largely attended Mr.
Bryan discussed the silver question at
all his meetings and also reviewed the
records of President Mckinley and
Senator Hanna. He said the first six
months of the Mckinley administration
were the most disastrous in the history
of the country. He charged Hanna
with hostility to labor interests and also
with being the chief conspirator in the
presidential campaign of last year. when
the result was due to the twin agents of
fraud and coercion and traceable to the
money powers of this and other coun-
tries. He said
'The gold standard was conceived in
avarice, fastened on the people by stealth.
continued by fraud, and its high priest
was Hanna"
Mr. Bryan warned his hearers against
frauds in Ohio. He said the democrats
got az many votes in Ohio last Novem-
Der as expected, but the republicans got
many more than there was any reason
to expect.
Big Crowd mt Mount Vernon.
Columbus, o., Oct. 2S.-W. ]. Bryan

10000 people. About one-hfth were Ia
dies. Excursions were there from
Richland, Ashland. Morrow, Coshocton
and Holmes counties. 1t was after III
o'clock when the procession formed. The
pressure about Mr.. Bryan was so great
as to make it difficult for him to leave his
carriage. He was very hoarse while
speaking, but spoke till II O'Clock, when
he left for Newark.
