GRAND JURY AT WORK.
Paving Deals Being Investigated in
Wyandotte County.

Kansas City. Kas., Dec 15.-By rea-
son of delayed trains, Attorney General
Coleman was unable to arrive until
late Monday. and as a result the grand
jury did no work until in the afternoon.
W. N. Woodward, a promoter of paw
ing brick who was twice before the
grand jury last week. was recalled,
and it is said gave the first specific
evidence in the investigation.
Woodward was kept on the witness
stand for half an hour, and for the first
time explained the alleged attempt OF
a councilman to hold him uD" for ST.
600 on the Packard street paving deal
Woodward was promoter for the COM
pany which furnished the material for
this work, and he testified that after
the work was finished member of
the council approached him and de-
manded $1,000 to insure the acceptance
of the engineers specifications on the
work This action by the council was
necessary before WoodWard'S bills
could be allowed, but he stated that he
refused to pay the 81 600, giving as a
reason that it was too much. Accord
ing to Woodward's statements the
councilman told him that he had talked
the matter over with two other Off
Gals and that they had decided that
his demands were reasonable.
Instead of digging up" however,
woodward went before a notary public
and made an affidavit stating in detail
the alleged attempt to bride him This
was more than a year ago.. but the
affidavit fell into the hands of Myron
A. Waterman. and was given to Mr..
Coleman.
George Brindle. a contractor. was
questioned for thirty minutes in re-
gard to methods of securing contracts
for paving. but failed to impart any
definite information OF any grating.
However, he stated that agents for
some of the brick companies in Kansas
City. Mo. had told him they could
make no Drcst on their Kansas City,

they were compelled to buy their way

placed at 500. The lads were arrest
ed for cutting lead pipe, from the
