As announced exclusively in The Times
several days ago the grand jury has in
dicted Francis J. Kieckhocfcr, ex-disburs-
ing clerk of the Department of State.
There are three indictments in this case
and extraordinary care has been taken
that they shall be effective in tlder word
ing.
The charge of emDeZzlement is named in
all OF them and there are five counts.
The first charges that the accused en-
beZZled the sum of SIS, ,2299S in July
of 1895, the second count rectcs that in

each bundle containing fifteen OF the
value of 81 600. This is said to have
taken place October 20, 1885.
hicCkhoefer was in charge of a certain
division, which gave him the handling OF
money received from foreign countries
for certain American claimants. 1t is
alleged thatthe sums named came from this
trust.
IL Is recited In the Indictment against
Calvin A. Holland, charged with cor
rupt attempt to influence jurors, that the
alleged attempt was made in connection
with the investigation by the grand jury
OF the charge against Wilbur. w. Marina
duke, OF forging certain tickets Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The wit
ness against Holland is John A Wineberger,
a member of the grand jury just discharged.
Marmaduke's case was pending at the
time
1t is charged that Holland did ''unlaw-
fully and corruptly entice, solicit and en-
deavor 10 persuade Mr.. WInebrrger TO
cOruptly and in violation OF his duty
| disregard any evidence touching the Mar
m9dpke, case .l..,,..,
1t is also charged that an effort was
made 10 have Winebergcr induce and per
suade the other members of the jury 10
| also disregard the evidence TO the end
| that no Indictment should be returned
against Maumaduke. Milton Marmaduke
father OF Wilbur, is also charged with an
attempt at influencing Wincberger.
Tie allegations in the Indictment are
! similar TO those against Holland. The de
| tails OF the recited transaction are not giveI
! and up to the time the indictments were
returned no warrants had been issued
against the offenders.
Tie charge against Young Narmaduke
| the ticket broker, is still pending. In
this connection it VIII be remembered
that two Of the grand jurors were dis
! charged because OF alleged leaking in
