milwaukee, WIS, Sept. 21.-W edneS-
days grand Jury sensations came fast,
thrilling climax to the days excite
ment being reached in the evening
with the recalling of former Alderman
William Murphy, formerly of the
Third ward, who made complete
confession Of what he knew of graft
in city affairs and implicated, it is
said, two wealthy and prominent bust
ness men whose names have been
ccnspicuously mentioned as hackers
Of the I4aFollette or anti-graft move
ment.
so prominent are the men who were
accused in Murphy's confession and so
active part have they taken in the
andgTaft crusade now being carried
on that the news that the grand jury
had received evidence involving them
in bribing city officials caused by far
the biggest sensation that has de-
veloped since the grand jury began
its Investigations.
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept 23.-It is re-
ported that certain persons are pre-
pared to swear out warrants against
two well-known LaFollette men who
are said to have been implicated in
grating by the testimony of former
Alderman Murphy before the grand
jury. 1t is said warrants will not lie
issued should the grand jury see fit
TO return indictments against these
men.
The warrants will be sworn out by
friends of Charles P6ster, who aliege
his Indictment on charge of having
embezzled $4,000 from the Wisconsin
Rendering company was due to Dis
trict Attorney McGovern's ambition to
discredit the stalwart leader in the
eyes Of the voters and with view to
aiding McGovern in his ambition to
step into the governors chair.
1t is charged that Murphy's dis
closures show that a conspiracy was
formed against Mr.. Pfister, just as
was alleged in Pfister's suit against
McGovern and the promoters Of the
Free Press, LaFollette's Milwaukee
organ, IN MS recent sui TOT S0UU,UUU

ton under the discovery statute before

The principal defendant in the case
Is Editor Myrick, of The Free Press.
Pfster denied that he ever had
bribed anybody, he explained the gar
bage contract transaction which led to
his Indictment, and sprang a great
surprise on the defendants by inform
ing them that Isaac Stephenson finan-
cial hacker Of the LaFollette move

his own warm personal friend.
