HARTFORD OFFICIALS INDICTED.
The Grand Jury Finds Indictments
Against Ex-Sheriff and Clerk

The Grand Jury Finds Indictments
Against Ex-Sheriff and Clerk
OF County Commissioners.
The Hartford County Grand Jury
this week found four indictments
against ex Sheriff Stephenson A.
Whiteford-two for perjury and
two for false pretenses-and one
against Clerk of the County Com
missioners Hudson Bateman, for
embezzlement.
The indictments are the conse
quence of the work of an investi
eating committee and expert &C
countant, who several months ago
filed report alleging irregularities
which are indicated by the indict
ments. Following the instruction
of the Court the Grand Jury ex
amined into the condition of the
Office of the County Commissioners,
and found that their business
methods have been wholly unsatis-
factory. The books and accounts
therein have been so irregularly
kept as to make it utterly impos-
sible to examine into the affairs OF
the Office with any hope of reaching
anything like satisfactory con
clusion. 1t is, however, now un.
derstood that the matter OF
unsatisfactory bookkeeping has
been remedied.
The County Commissioners APP
pear to have employed an overseer
of the almshouse and have made
him general agent over every.
thing appertaining to the property
and the persons confined therein,
and without any check upon his
administration worthy of the name
he was permitted to purchase sup
plies almost without limit. The
Commissioners were not made
aware of any extravaganza until il
was too late to apply the remedy
Similar methods existed in the
dealings between the County Com
missioners and the Sheriff 8 Office
The Sheriff seems to have beer
permitted in the main to purchas,
his own supplies in way which
has at times resulted in the mos
ridiculous extravaganza. The wan
of proper checks upon expenditure
has resulted disastrously for tn
county.
1t is believed by the jury tina
fees have been paid when no ser
vices have been performed; tina
fees have been paid for conveying
prisoners to institutions when n
such prisoners were delivered, ais
for the arrest and transportation c
prisoners when no arrests hay
been made.

All Officers Now Go Armed and
Prepared for Sudden
Emergencies.
DISCOVERED BY AN ACCIDENT
Captain Macklin, Whose Assailant is
Being Tried, Was Only the First
OF Those Listed for Terrible
Butehery.

Ell RENO, Jan. Sit Is the belief
OF the army officers at Fort Reno that
conspiracy to murder every white
officer at Fort Reno beginning with
Captain Macklin, against whom near
ly every soldier at Fort Reno enter
tains a personal grudge as a result
of the Brownsville AFFAIR. and then
proceeding down the list OF officers,
has become known today as result
Of the preliminary hearing In the case
OF Edward l.. Knowles. corporal Of
Company A. Twenty-fifth Infantry,
who was found guilty of assault with
intent to Kill upon Captain Macklin,
December q. Knowles was bound
over TO await the action OF the grand
jury at the spring term OF court.
All officers now go heavily armed
and protected throughout the night.
Every effort has been made by the
officers at the post to keep the alleged
conspiracy secret, but 1t is learned that
investigation is being made at several
army posts and within n short time
several arrests OF members OF the
troop recent discharged are expected
to follow. Information was received
here tonight OF the arrest Of a negro
soldier at Lajunta, Colo, today. Sus-
picion rests upon member Of the
troops at Fort Niobrara, Neb,, and at
three other points Arrests Of these
men had been postponed until a hear
ing In the case of Corporal Knowles.
which was concluded today, when It
was hoped some further information
would be secured tending to impli
cate others in the alleged conspiracy.
Following Knowles hearing. United
States Marshal Madsen secured a war
rant for the arrest Of one of the wit
nesscs for the defense charging per-
jury The man was apprehended, but
his name could not be learned. Twen
ty witnesses, testifying for the most
part for the defense, were examined
at length, none of their stories coin

Interstate Commerce Commis.
sion Examines Ripley.
IS GOOD WITNESS FOR ROADS
His Statements Are Not Startling But
Leave Impression in Favor Of the
Management Of the Santa Fe
Line.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-The inquiry OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
into the management and methods of
the Hartman railroads was resumed
here today. The Commission occupied
the greater part of the day taking evil
dence on rates on cattle from Texas
points and only had time this after
noon for the examination of President
Ripley of the Santa Fe when the man
agement of the Hartman roads was
at last reached.
Ripley's testimony did not bring out
any startling information. He did not
know until he read 1t in the news
papers that the Hartman roads owned
$100000 900 stock in the Santa Fe, and
declared although II. H. Rogers and
II, c. Frick were directors of the I'm
ion Pacific, this had not impaired
their usefulness to the Santa Fe. Rip
ley said that when approached by rep
resentatives of this stock for the right
to name the directors of the Santa Fe
he refused to consider the proposition
until it was distinctly understood that
the directors to be named were not
officers of the Union Pacific or any
other competitor Of the Santa Fe.

DESPITE CORONER'S VERDICT
Mystery Surrounding Affair Is Only
Deepencd by tho Latest Action Of
the Observation-Disclosures Act
Strangely.

PORTLAND. Jan, s,-Desplte the
verdict of the coroner's jury that Or
Philip Edwards Johnson OF New York
came to his death on Ford street bridge
last night at the hands of thugs bent
on robbery the police are so certain
that Johnson came to his death as n
result of his own act, that detectives
who have been constantly at work on
the case for the past twenty-four hours
have ceased the work on the mystery
and Captain of Detectives Bruin, who
had the case In his personal charge,
Is spending the evening at the theater
From almost the moment that Dr..
Johnson's body was found there has
been q lurking suspicion among the
police officials that some deep mys-
terry was at the bottom of the death
of Johnson. What grounds they had
for entertaining such suspicion they
decline to divulge. Their sudden drop
ping of the case tonight has added
weight In the minds Of many that
Johnson took his own life.
A peculiar circumstance in this con-
nection was the visits paid to the
newspapers by intimate friends Of the
dead man, who pleaded that all refer
ence pointing to suicide be eliminated
from the reports of the tragedy.
