SEVEN INDICTMENTS
RETURNED BY COLE
COUNTY GRAND JURY.
True Bills We're Returned Against
Three Others, but Their Names
We're not Made Known...Be-
lieved that Others Will
Follow Next Week.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 1S.-Sen
ators Frank Farris, Of Steelville,
Crawford county, Buel L. Matthews
OF Clayton, st. Louis county, and c
A. Smith OF st. Louis, Baking Pow
der Lobbyist Daniel ]. Kelley and
three unknown men have been indict
ed by the Cole county grand jury in
connection with legislation during
the Forty-frst and Forty.second
sessions OF the general assembly.
Definite information regarding the
charges against those indicted can
not be obtained tonight. 1t is
thought that bribery charges have
been preferred against Farris, Kelley
and Smith, and accepting a bride
against Matthews.
If those indicted Farris is a demo
crat and former president pro TEN.
OF the senate, while Smith and Mat
thews are republicans OF the Kerens
brand.
Four indictments we're returned
late this evening in addition to the
three OF last night. Aswas generally
known Thursday, six indictments
had been decided upon and the at.
torney general was preparing the
papers.
This morning another Indictment
was agreed upon, so that those now
returned reach a total of seven.
1t is probable that more will follow
when the grand jury meets a week
from Monday to renew its investiga-
tions. Much evidence has been
secured which will bear further inves.
tigation and, according to reliable
Information, the entire gist has not
been finished.
OF course, attorney general Crow
and his assistants, Sam B. Jeffries
and C. ID. Corum, are elated over the
work thus far accomplished. Mr..
Crow started the DEMONSTRATION under
difficulties. He has brought witness.
es from all parts Of the state, worked
one against another and secured
enough testimony to justify the issu-
ance Of seven indictments, in all oil
which he has good cases.

dictments against Kelley 80 that in

The New York lawyer, who attends
to Kelley's interests, said his client
would not come to Missouri without
an Indictment. Missourians will &C.
commodate him and the new requi-
sition that has been sent for him
calls for his return to Missouri to
answer 20 three separate charges.
