RYAN MAKES A CONFESSION
Pays Four Thousand Dollars to Officials Of
Postal Department
MILLER AND FRIEND DIVIDE THE MONEY
Get-Rich-ouIclS Concerns Able Ia
Pay Literally for Favorable
Opinions of OmciaIs of the
Department.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-United States
Marshal Petit at Rockville, Ind. today
notified the department by telegraph of the
arrest Of Joseph M. Johns, charged with
conspiracy in the alleged bribery of Daniel
V. Miller, assistant attorney Tor the Post
office department.
Johns will be tried with Miller at Cincin-
natl. Their cases will be presented to the
federal grand jury, which meets there Oc-
tober 6. According to evidence in posses
sion of the postal authorities Johns re-
ceived $500 as a result of the decision of
Acting Assistant Attorney General Chris
tiancy that the Ryan Turf Investment COM
papy was entitled to the use OF the mails.
Miller was an assistant of Cnristiancy.
The authorities here say Johns was not
an attorney of the Ryan concern, but has
been a lifelong friend and political associate
of Miller. The exact division of the S4,5Oo
is not known. Miller was at the Postofice
department today IN conference with AS
sistant Attorney General Robb.
The case Of the Arnold company, the turf
concern which was responsible for the first
charges against the once of the assistant
attorney general. and which. despite the ad-
verse report Of postof1ce inspectors, secured
a favorable decision from the office, is still
under investigation.
The checks which figure in the alleged
payments to Miller and Johns, which are
In possession OF the department are for
S3.400 They were supplemented with
cash payment of S1,100 The checks are
signed by the Ryan concern and made out
TO Johns, endorsed by him. Ryan has
agreed to be a witness for the government
He has furnished the department with all
the information in his possession, including
the documents. Miller left today for Terre
Haute, Ind.
While the department cannot guarantee
Ryan immunity, IL will put his service In
turning states evidence in the best light
before the court. Miller had charge of the
investigation of the Ryan case and pre-
pared the letter which Acting Assisting
Attorney General Christiancy signed. This
letter, which constituted the decision of
the department allowed the concern to use
the mails and was signed December 10.
The decision in the Arnold case, which
served as a precedent and whose language
II followed, was signed by Assistant At
torney General Tyner December 4.
