Perjury and Bribery
Charged by Jury

Supervisor Frederick P.
Nicholas and Peter M.
Duffy, the former City Hall
janitor, who acted as a mid
die man in the municipal fur
niture graft, joined the dis
credited political company
of Abe Ruef and Eugene
Schrnitz yesterday by being
indicted by the Grand Jury.
Nicholas was indicted for
entering into an agreement
to receive a bribe and Duffy
for perjury.
Superior Judge Frank ].
Murasky fixed the bond in
each case at $4,000.
Nicholas surrendered him
self last night and was re-
leased on $500 cash bail,
furnished to County Clerk
Harry l. Mulcrevy. He was
represented during the pro-
ceedings by his counsel,
George Appel.
Duffy was found in bed at
midnight and professed ig-
norance of his indictment.
He said he would surrender
himself this morning.
Both indictments were expected.
They came at the end of a day that
was taken up with the hearing OF a
great bulk OF testimony by the Grand
Jury and in many respects are indi-
catiye OF the attitude and determine
ton OF that body.
The Indictment against Duffy is
especially significant. 1t means. in
brief, that the Grand jury is deter
