Nothing was thought OF it at that

Kerosene and Dynamite Used.
1t was found that kerosene oil had
been poured over the vestibule of the
building and stick of dynamite had
been exploded there. The explosion
put out whatever fire might have been

PiGGI4G AND NOV
FACES SAME

Attorney Thorp today secured quick

mony of witnesses at the preliminary

Chicago, July 13.-More scandal was
added to the Lee O'Neil Browne legis-
lative bribery case when an indictment
was voted by the grand jury against
John e. Maloyk, 1901 Sixty-third street,
proprietor of a grocery and market, on
a charge of attempting to corrupt
Oscar Morford, one of the jurors who
tried Browne.
While States Attorney Wayman was
reticent in discussing the matter, it
was said by several Of his assistants
that the indictment against Maloy is a
forerunner Of sweeping grand jury ac
ton against a number Of persons con-
corning whom evidence has been Sc
cured in connection with attempts to
tamper with the Browne jury.
Maloy is accused of endeavoring to
induce Morford's wife to urge him to
vote for Brownies acquittal. Morford
was one Of the eight jurors who voted
continuously to convict the state legis-
lator. The Indictment was voted upon
testimony given by Mr.. and Mrs Nor
rord and Thorough G. Morford, father
of the juror.
Mrs. Morford's statements to the
grand jury, according to Assistant
States Attorney Marshall. was in sub
stance as follows:
ION the Saturday after the jury was
impaneled in the Browne case / went
into the grocery of John +. Maloy at
East Sixty-third street and Washing
ton avenue. MaIoy mentioned the fact
that my husband was a member of the
jury and gave me two, cigars to give
to him. Then he asked me to tell my
husband to- vote for Brownies asquit-
tai and to hold out to the end. He said
could whisper this into my hus-
bands ear while / was talking to him
sometime during the trial.
"On the following Monday I went
into the grocery store again and Maloy
asked me If had succeeded in seeing
my husband. told him had not
Maloy replied:
at wish you had got chance to
ask him to vote for Browne for ac-
quittal II he would vote that way he
would get a lump of money and he
would not have to work in a railroad
yard any more ! declined to carry
out the plan suggested by Maloy.
said nothing about this conversation
until the Jury in the bribery trial had
been discharged. Then l told my hus-
band about the matter"
Morford's father said Maloy inform
ed him his son could get "a bunch of
money" by voting for Brownies ac-
quittal, and that he was sorry he had
not seen him before he was chosen as
member OF the jury.
States Attorney Wayman first
learned of the alleged attempt to cor
rupt Mprford through neigEborhood
gossip. He went to the Morford resi-
dence in his automobile Tuesday
morning and after lengthy confer
ence with Mrs. Morford concluded TO
place the entire matter before the

grand jury. Morford subsequently waa
summoned to the prosecutors offics
and told of the latters intentions.
Morford, 1t is said at first demurred
to being made party to any GRIM
inal court proceedings on the ground
that 1t would be distateful to himself
and family.
Your own wishes are not para
mount to those of the state" replied
States Attorney Wayman. II am GO
ing through with this case and / will
rely on you and members OF your
family otell all you know"
How many other jury tampering
indictments do you expect to get?"
States Attorney Wayman was asked.
I am making no forecasts" he re-
piled. Things will be humming in
the state'es attorneys office for some
time, however. The evidence we Sc
cured shows that Maloy wanted Mrs.
Morford to whisper to her husband
when she brought clothes and other
things to him that there would be
lump of money in it if he would hold
out for acquitta1'
This is the biggest piece Of nom
sense / ever heard Of" declared Maloy
when informed of the true bill against
him. ITS just a big bubble and in
day or two IL will break and you
will see there is absolutely nothing to
1t. Why, Mrs. Morford was in here
just a few minutes ago-since / was
indicted-and bought some groceries.
/ guess she is sorry now for what she
has got into and the kind of a mess
she has made for me.
why, / never saw this Browne in
my life, and / hardly know Lorimer
when / see him. Wherever they can
figure 1t out that / would be at all
interested Is more than ! can under
stand. don't remember exactly what
did say to the woman. / gave her
some cigars-a couple, 1 guess-just as
have done to many another customer
here In the store. / got Morford a
Job down on the Indiana Harbor belt
line when he was out of work.
I'm not afraid, because there is
nothing to be afraid of, I have done
nothing wrong. / do have a notion,
however, to go through with the thing
and teach these people lesson"

MILLIONAIRE KID IS
RECAP1URED AGAIN
MADE SENSATIONAL ESCAPE
FROM DEPUTY BARNES AT
MANDAN.
Officer Recaptures His Man Near New
Salem Monday Afternoon - Fred
Rinker Proves Slippery.

Fred Rinker, better known as 1.-THE
Millionaire Kid" and who was captur-
ed by a railroad detective at Miles
City, Mont, Saturday afternoon,
again made his escape from the off,
GERS at Mandan.
1t appears that Deputy Barnes had
no guard over Rinker and the prison
er asked permission to go to the clos
ct just as the train was pulling out
of Mandan. This was granted and
Rinker went to the closet and then
on through the window to the ground.
1t appears that he then went to the
N. P. shops and told the men there
a story of being a railroad man, and
said that as he was coming through
the yards he was set upon and the
handouts placed upon his wrists and
he was held up. He told such a good
story that he got the machinest to
cut the chain which connected the
hand cuffs, and then stated that he
would go across the tracks to the
town and see if he could not &c the
policeman to unlock the cuffs for
him. This was the last seen of him
until about 4 o'clock, when Barnes
captured him about two miles from
New Salem where he had made his
way in the intervening time.
Barnes noticed his escape soon af-
ter he had left the car, but supposed
he was still on the train and came
to Bismarck. He he secured rig and
drove to the Mandan bridge and from
there went to Mandan and at once
started tho HINT for tho occono1 mon
There was reward Of $3.50, offered
for his capture as soon as his escape
was known. Rinker made his escape
originally from the Burleigh county
Jail where he was being held await
ing trial on charge of grand larceny
for stealing case of cigars from the
N. P. freight office in this city. He
is the same man who startled his
friends some time ago with a yarn
about falling heir to a fortune.
