THE DOVER BANK SUIT
Senator Kenney Indicted BY
the Grand Jury.
PART HE PLAYED IN THE GAME

COLE, JOSEPH M'GONTGAL AND |
HARRY f. FORD. WE'RE INDICT-
ED AS ACCOdPLICEs OF BOGGs. |
Richard r. Kenney, representing this |
state in the United States Senate, was |
yesterday indicted by Federal grand
jury for completely in thle Boggs case.
The matter of indicting Senator Ken |
ney was mere foumality, and the bin |
goes 10 the court as "a presentment, as |
does the case of ]. Frank Alice. Sena.
tor Kenney was not charged, as stated |
in, the morning papers, with defraud- |
ing the First National Bank out Of $685. |
900. The charge against the senator is |
that Of loaning Boggs his checks,
knowing that Boggs was robbng the
bank.
It Will be recalled that the testimony
produced at the Cooper hearing showed
that Kenney did not owe the bank or
Boggs a cent. Kenney's chances to
escape conviction are good, and It was
said this morning that the bin being
presented ais it was, shows the weak
ness on which the charges against the
senator were based.
Agitation and speculation have been
the leading features as to the work
Of the grand jury which has had the
cases of Cooper and the rest under
| consideration. No case in the annals
Of the state has created more interest
than this Boggs case.
From the time that the jury was first
polled the name OF Delaware's junior
senator has been mentioned in connec-
ton with the scandal, but his high Of
flee prevented verihcation Of THE Iu-
mogs, and all was conjecture until yes
terday. When it was given out that
Senator Kenney was indicted express
sions Of sympathy were generally
heard. Much surprise was occasloned
too. when ]. Frank Allee, Addicks
chief lieutenant, was also indicted for
the same charge. 1t has been statel
that ]. Edward Addicks was at tins
lhead of the scheme to bring the Bogg
, case TO court, and III will be recalle'
that Colonel Cooper, who is now sew
ing time for mis- part in THE case, me

by THE nOn-appearance of Franc
