Prominent Men Seriously Accused.

Positive, direct and sensational were
the charges of attempted bribery in con-
nection with the McCarrel Jury bill
made on Tuesday night before the
house committee appointed to investi-
gate that noisome scandal. Reputable
members of the house swore that they
had been offered money to influence
their action on the measure framed to
help ex-senator Quay in his trial on the
charge of conspiracy to Illegally use the
moneys of the state aud the men bluntlv
accused We're:
JOhn j. Coyle. eX-State senator. now
of Philadelphia, but formerly of Schuyl-
kill county; Thomas Moyles, former
state representative, and now booE
agent, at Wilkesbarre, where he is
under indictment for conspiracy to de-
fraud Luzerne county, and Mcaael }.
Costello, of Williamsport
The direct accusers were Representa-
tive John Engler, of Collomsville. Ly-
coming county, and Representative
Peter j. Criste, of Milton, Northum ber-
land county.
Both positively swore that they had
been offered cash for their votes and
influence on the McCarrell bill. SEN
sational as was the testimony presented
it is alleged there is yet more to come
and there is now every reason to believe
that some enterprising, but indiscreet,
friends of ex-senator Quay will soon
be compelled to answer in court the
charges of corrupt solicitation. 1t is
certain that the investigation will be
pushed to the bitter end, and the people
may be given an opportunity to learn
some of the awful corruption that exists
in and around the state capitol.
