PITTSBURG, Pa, April 6.-The
climax promised in the Pittsburg
graft exposure came as promised
late today with the presentment of
the grand jury report which recon-
mended an indictment against Frank
W. Hoffstot, president of the Pressed
Steel Car company, one of the most
prominent men in, the country.
simultaneously in open court came
the plea of Emil Winter, president
of the Workingmen's Savings and
Trust company, that he had no de-
fense to make to the charge that he
gave a $4,000 bribe to former
councilman Morris Einstein.
Among the findings of the grand
jury were that Hoffstot had paid
Charles Stewart, former council
man, the sum of $52,500, and that
the money was to be used to get the
influence of councilmen to pass an
ordinance naming the three banks
in which Hoffstot was Interested, as
the official repositories of the city's
millions. According to the findings

attorney, and now the district at

Blakeley refused to act and warned
all parties of the criminality of the
proposition. This arrangement was
made in the spring of 1908. The
transaction was arranged and made
in New York City and took place
there in June of that year. Hoffstot
also solicited from James N. Young,
cashier of the Second National bank,
of Pittsburg, $4,000 to be paid to
Stewart to insure the selection of
his bank as one of the favored city
repositories The court ordered an
indictment drawn against Hoffstot
in accordance with the grand jury
presentment, namely, on two counts,
bribery and one of conspiracy to do
fraud the city. The presentment
concluded with the order that the
investigation continue along lines
already pursued, which is taken to
mean that more higher ups" will
yet be named.

been no violence attempted, the re-

information was made known by the
receipt of the following dispatch

correspondent at that place:
CARSON, April 6.-It is under
stood that the United States attos

federal officers here. United States

following statement

The opinion here is that an ap-
peal for government intervention
was made from Tonopah.
United States Marshal Humphreys
at Carson wired Sheriff Owens IL
| there had been any interference with
the mails, and the government Off
cial was promptly notified that uI
to date the mails had been without
any interference whatsoever.
Congressman George A. Bartlett
sent practically the same inquiry t.
his law partner here, George B
Thatcher, and like response wa
made. Postmaster j. w. Stewar
was also asked concerning the mails
and 1t was very evident that thu
government had been asked to in
tervene.
