up evidence and carrying a searching inquiry
The indictments substantiate the charge.
Friends of the former Governor, both in New

it difficult to believe that the who had
made such a record for himself was facing
a criminal charge, and said that they believed
Mr.. Voorhees, innocent of the charge, or at least
gutless of any intentional wrongdoing. They
seemed to feel confident that he would be
cleared when the came to trial.
