embraces nine counts and consists of
25 typewriter pages. 1t follows

delivery in regard to purchase of
Croft fasteners influenced thereby, did
ask of the Croft Brothers a promise
that they would pay to him 40 per
cent. of any sum which might be re-
ceived by them thereafter from the
United States through the postoffice
department in payment of such fasten-

AGAINST MACHEN

the case of the Croft Brothers, the con-
tractors who furnished the letter box
fasteners to the government and who
were arrested at the same time Mr..
Machen was taken into custody.
May Go to Prison.
The penalty for the violation OF the
statute under which Machen is in
dicted is a fine of not more than three
times the amount asked or accepted
or receives, and by imprisonment of
not more than three years.
By securing the Indictment of Ma
chen before today the day set for his
preliminary hearing, Commissioner
Taylor, for the government scored
victory in that it has avoided the
necessity of showing its hand at the
preliminary hearing. The proceedings
before the commissioner now will be
abandoned.
Accused Discusses Case.
Discussing the case with his friends,
Machen said that certain checks which
it is maintained were sent him in pay
ment of his profits in the GroT fas-
tener and which have been secured
by the postoffice inspectors were sent
HIM by his business partner, George
E. Lorenz of Toledo, Ohio, and former.
ly postmaster of that city. Machen
claims that his partnership with
Lorenz was strictly legitimate and the
checks were in connection with the
mining business which the firm con-
Quoted. Although the amount of the
checks cannot be ascertained, Machen
says the one for the largest amount
represents personal loan to himself
for Lorenz.
Denies Receiving Money.
Machen further states to his friends
that he was not partner of the
partner of the Croft brothers and did
not receive any profits from the sale
of the letter box fastener to the gov.
eminent He says no wrong doing
will be proved against him and the
only possible cause there may be for
criticism of his administration as far
as the Croft fastener is concerned is
the prices paid for the article, which
may be considered excessive. This
was necessary he maintains, because
the article was a patented affair and
the larger price paid for it was in line
with the universal practice in the pur-
chase of patented articles and where
there is no competition.
Mad at Government Coup.
His counsel last night gave out q
statement in which they criticise the
government for bringing the matter
before grand jury after it had issued
warrant for his arrest, thus depriv-
ing Machen of the preliminary hearing
upon the charges contained in the war
rant.
