AT WHICH A RRiBE OF s47,5oo rs
ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN
DIVIDED.
NICE LITTLE BIRTHDAY PARTY
GRAND JURY IS ABOUT THROUGH
SEVERAL MORE INDICTMENTS
WILL PROBABLY BE
FOUND.

ST. Louis, Sept 2S.--The June grand
jury met yesterday afternoon for its
final session, several witnesses having
been present. 1t is said that the re-
port of the body will be sent to the
court Monday, and several indictments
are expected az a result of the find
ings.
The investigations of the jury, aided
by Delegate j. K. Murrell's disclos-
ures, have resulted in the indictment
of nineteen delegates and former del
egates and the arrest OF all but six OF
the number, who are fugitives from
justice. At the request of Circuit At
torney Folk Judge Douglass in the
criminal court yesterday afternoon is
sued a subpoena commanding one of
the employees of James Campbell, a
well known broker, to bring into court
two checks for sums aggregating Sat-
500, drawn by him in favor of Ed But
Ter. Broker Campbell is out of the
city.
These checks. one for $27, 800, the
other for $40, 900, dated Nov. 8, 1899,
the day on which the lighting bill was
passed, for which Delegate Charles F.
Kelley is said to have distributed SAT-
500 to the house combine at Delegate
Lehmann's birthday party. Campbell's
employees will be asked to explain for
what the two checks issued were
drawn. 1t was stated that at the birth
day party SAT 500 had been distributed
by Charles f. Kelley to the house COM
bine, numbering nineteen members,
each receiving $4,000. On this in
formation Kelley and several col
leagues of Murrell were indicted. All
are now
Charged With Bribery,
both in this case and in the suburban
bill safe deposit case,
The checks were traced by Mr.. Folk
after thorough canvass of st. Louis
banks. This canvass was recently
made by a committee of the grand
jury to save the banks the inconven-
fence of taking all their books before
the grand jury. The checks were
found to have been duly drawn, paid
and returned to Campbell.
The lighting bill was passed in the
city council Oct. 81, 1899 and in the
house of delegates Nov. % following.
Shortly after the passage of the bill by
the house came the Lehman birth
day party.
Eighteen members of the house OF
delegates who changed their votes on
the bill after having its defeat at tlrst,
together with Robertson, who was alb
sent when it was defeated, but who
voted for it's reconsideration and pass-
age, are the same men who are now
indicted on the charge of accepting
the $47,500 bribe.
The bill provided for the lllumina-
ton of the greater part of the city by
an incandescent mantle gas lamp sys-
tenn now in use.

The Commissioners having recently tx-
perienced a good deal of trouble with de-

time. The provision follows:
The Commissioners reserve the right to
order contractor to suspend any work

cement and plaster will not be permitted
during freezing weather, and the perors
and stages Of the work as herein specified
Will be extended for the same space of time
as it may be suspended by the Commits
