Mr. Hermann's attorney waived the

slider this case, and at p. m. the in
dictment was returned in Justice
Wright's court.

Hermann made the following state
ment to reporter of the Associated
Press:
This is an old story. For more than
two years these charges have been
paraded in the public press. During
all that time have been ready to
meet them in this case. They are alb.
solutely untrue and without founda-
ton
The witnesses before the grand
jury were Secretary of the Interior
Hitchcock, Elliott P. Hough, a clerk In
the general land Office, and c. H. Mill
er, an employee of the land office.
