BANKER INDICTED.
Action of This Kind Taken Against
Frank D. Glover Of San Marcos.

Austin, Feb 25.--A sensational turn
was taken in the Kirby-Mcore bribery
case Friday in Judge Calhoun's court
by the indictment of Frank D. Glover.
a San Marcos banker. 1t is LEGGED
that Glover paid Moore $12,500 as
bride in the matter of the suit against
the Kirby Lumber company. First two
Indictments against Kirby were dls-
missed and fwo new ones presented.
The first one is practically the same
as the first original one, but the second
makes above charge against Glover. 1t
further alleges that Kirby did promise
to reward Glover and alleges that Kirby
was not present when said affair was
committed. County Attorney Brady
contended that there was no bribery
charged against clover, but the court
ruled that the indictment charged
Glover with bribery and he ordered the
clerk of the court to issue warrant
for the arrest of Glover. Glover soon
appeared in court and was recognized
in the sum Of $500, with V. q. Weed
and John H. Houston and Joseph Male
as sureties. The cases then went over
until Saturday morning, as the defend
ants could not be tried until two days
after the return Of the new indictments.
