SURVEYOR MAKES DENIAL,
DECLARES EVIDENCE GIVEN BY
HIM WAS DEMANDED OF GRAND
JURORS WHEN HE WAS SUM-
MONED BEFORE THEM.

New Castle. Ind, Dec. 21.-Caunty
Commissioners Charles ID. MOhler and
John NJ. Huff, indicted by the last
grand jury for failure TO comply with
the law in letting bridge contracts,
will have hearing in the Circuit
court Jan. IL The cases had been
set for trial next Monday, but an ex-
tension was asked by the state, which
is not yet ready to try the cases.
1t develops that the information on
which the Indictments were based was
given the grand jury by County Sur
veyor Ratcliff. Although il was charg-
ed that spite work caused the indict-
ments, Mr.. Ratcliff denies that it en-
tered into his actions at all.
In a published article in a local
newspaper Mr.. Ratcliff vigorously re-
sents the charge of spite work on his
part. He says he was subpenaed to
appear before the grand jury, was
questioned as any other witness and
merely told the truth as how matters
stood.
He charges also that the bridges
erected in the county in the last two
years have been away below the speci-
fications in many ways and, although
he SO reported such deviations from
the contract to the commissioners,
they took no action relative thereto,
but accepted the work. Some inter-
esting facts are expected to be
brought out in his testimony.
