THE PLOT
THICkENS
More indictments To Be Brought
Against Parties Connected
With Postal Frauds.
WOULD DEFRAUD UNCLE SAM.
Woman Was Go Between That
Led To Arrest or Machen
And Croft Brothers.

Washington. June is.--The Federal
grand jury. whictr has been investigat-
ing postal affairs, probably viii bring
In five indictments today against per-
sons involved. Assistant District At
torney Taggart, who has the cases in
charge for the government. was al his
office earlier than usual this morning,
and was busily engaged In going over
the indictments. He denied himself to
all callers. Although every effort has
been made TO keep the public In ig-
norance Of the action TO be taken until
the papers were ready for presentation
by the grand jury. 1t is learned on un-
questioned authority that the jury has
voted to return indictments against
August W. Machen, Diller g. Groff,
Samuel A. Groff. George r. Lorenz
and Mrs. Lorenz. the two latter being
residents Of Toledo, Q. The specific
charge, II Is understood. will be con
spiraey to defraud the government.
The fact that new indictments would
be returned against Machen and the
Croft brothers has been talked Of for
some time around the courthouse. but
was not expected that 1t would be TAX
en- so soon The sensational feature Of
today's probable proceedings Is the
connection OF Mrs. Lorenz' name with
the transactions which led to the arrest
of Mr.. Machen and the Groffs. At the
time OF the arrest, stories were in cid
culation that there was a go-between,
but the information at hand then was
not conclusive enough to establish the
Identity of this particular party.
Whether or not Mrs. Lorenz acted in
this capacity is not known, but It has
been suggested that this go-between
was a woman.
