Nav be More Indictments,

The Indictment brought IN by the
grand jury early yesterday after
noon against Sheriff Samuel A Nc
Daniel, Mayor Evan G.. Boyd Of
New Castle, Harvey B. Wiggles-
worth, an employee of the County
Workhouse, who was also formally
a warden at New Castle Jail, and
Walter Rash, also former warden,
charging them with conspiracy to
obtain funds from County Treasurer
! Rettew, was the sole topic of con-
versation in the corridors of the
County Court House this morning.
While the majority of persons
think that all the men indicted
should pay the penalty if found
guilty. there is much criticism as to
the class OF witnesses which is al
legged, are to testify against the men
indicted.
Among the witnesses from whom
it is claimed the principal evidence
was gathered, is one man who wa,
serving sentence at the County
Workhouse and who was recently
pardoned and two other men whose
terms in the County Workhou
have recently expired.
There is also indications that an
other man who has served a term In
New Castle Jail will be witness
either for the State or for the four
indicted. The man referred to was
seen lettering around the Court House
corridor for several hours this morn.
ing and was also in the sheriff S Office
several times.
Many people have asked the ques.
ticn as what the penalty for charge
is. The penalty for a charge Of con.
spiracy to obtain funds Is left entire
ly TO the discretion Of the colrt. 1t
can be imprisonment, fine and the
pillory and two OF the three.
1t was also rumored this morning,
that the Attorney.General has two
more Indictments which will proba.
bly, be taken to the Grand Jury
when it returns on June 9th.
No date has been set for the trial
OF Frederick Vansant on Patrick
Fahey, but one Of them will proba.
bly,be called tomorrow. 1t is report
ed that Caleb Johnson who was
witness in behalf Of Lynn, will be .
witness in the Fahey case.
