CROFT BROTHERS INDICTED.
The Grand Jury to Take Up the Tyner Case
at Once.

Washington, June S.-The federal grand jury
has found true bills against the Croft brothers
in connection with the alleged Offering of bribes
TO A w. Machen, former superintendent of free
delivery in the Postoffice Department. This
action was taken, it is learned, on the same day
that Machen was indicted. The delay in pre-
senting the indictments due to the fact
that they could not be prepared for presentation
before to-day. Separate indictments against
the brothers were returned. The bond OF
Samuel A Croft increased from So,ooo
to $4,000 and that of Diller b Groft
was not changed from $4,000. Both Iur-
nished the requisite bond for appearance at
the fall term of court. The Croft brothers Will
be tried under Section g. 451 of the Revised stat
utes, which makes it offence to promise
money to any government officer with view 10
ton or matter which may be pending before him.
BY bringing in the indictments to-day the near
ing before the United States Commissioner
which was set for tomorrow, Will be abandoned
The grand jury will at once take up the case
of James n. Tyner, former Assistant Attorney
General for the Postoffice Department, who was
dismissed from office as a result of the rlf1lng or
the safe in his office. Although the opening or
the safe was not done by Mr.. Tyner personally,
1t is said that he connected with the act
in such way TO compel the laying OF the
case before the grand jury for it's action.
