TWO INDICTMENTS
AGAINST KEEFE
His Trial on Charge Of At
tempted Jury Bribing to
Begin Tomorrow.

William L. Keefe, q broker on the
New York Life building, will be placed
on trial tomorrow morning to answer
to charge of attempting jury bribing.
Owing to the prominence of the ac-
cused, the case will attract more than
usual interest.
The Indictment on which Mr.. Keefe
will be tried first is what is known as
the Rafter indictment, wherein he is
charged by the grand jury with at
tempting to corruptly influence juror
in a personal injury damage suit in the
settlement Of which he was interested.
The alleged attempt arose during the
trial Of the suit of Annie Mashic
against the Milwaukee road, in which
a verdict was found for the defendant.
1t is charged that Keefe went to the
home of John Rafter, one Of the jury
men in the case, in company with a
man named Flanagan, who was con-
nected with the Franklin laundry; that
Flanagan brought Rafter out and in
troduced him to Keefe, who made a
corrupt offer to Rafter, telling him that
there was a piece of money in 1t for
him If the verdict was right Rafter
claims to have refused the offer.
There is also another Indictment
pending against Keefe, known as the
Patenaud indictment. the charge
against him being similar to that in
the Rafter indictment. In the trial
which will be commenced tomorrow
Rafter himself will be the principal
witness against Keefe.
