CHARGED WITH TRYING
To BRIBE BROWNE JUROR
Grocer Indicted. in Connection
with Recent Graft Trial
in Illinois

CHICAGO, July GA fresh sensa-
ton in connection with the legislative
bribery scandal arose today when
States Attorney Wayman announced
that an indictment had been voted
charging John A. Malloy, a grocer,
with attempting to corrupt Oscar I.
Morford, a juror in the recent trial OF
Lee O'Neill Browne.
Maloy, when seen, denied that he
had sought to influence Morford.
"Morford has been on my books for
years." said the grocer. Hes on them
now. 1 got him a job when he was
down and out, and this is what l get
for it. It's all lie."
Morford, his wife and his father,
through Morford, testified before the
grand jury.
Mrs. Morford testified that shortly
after the Browne jury had been sworn
she went to Malloy's grocery, which Is
in the neighborhood in which the Nor
fords lived. Malloy, she said, gave her
two cigars which he asked her to give
to her husband, who had been accepted
on the jury According to States At
torney Wayman, Mrs. Morford testified
that Malloy asked her to use her in
huence to persuade her husband to vote
for the acquittal of Browne, holding
out as a reward for so voting that Nor
ford "would not have to work for a
railroad any more" as he would get a
lump of money"

LANTERNS ON KITES GIVE
POLICE AIRSHlP MYSTERY
Officer Runs Down Mysterious
Aviator in Person of Small

ST. LOUIS, July 6.-The mysterious
"aeroplane' which has aroused the
Carondelet police station was drought
to earth" last night. A reporter wit
messed close at hand the flight of the
daring aviator" who for weeks has
filled the Carondelet police with thrills
and forebodings.
The flight witnessed by the reporter,
however, was not through the vast
blue dome of the South st. Louis
heavens, but through the rear door of
the residence at 400 East Marceau
street.
One night every week for several
weeks past the Carondelet police have
seen a mysterious "aeroplane" in the
sky. It came out of the south with
searchlights and after circling over the
station house returned to unknown re-
gions.
Fired by the light of the "aeroplane, ="
Lieutenant William j. Doyle resolved
to solve the mystery. He assigned Pa
trolman Cook to discover the starting
point Of the "aeroplane's" flight. Cook
walked eight blocks south from the po-
lice station to engine house No. "a. Fire
Lieutenant Wallace Conrad extended
him the hospitality of the engine house
and allowed him the use of window
for an observatory.
Coow saw something with lights on
it fitting across the sky. He jumped
to the telephone and reported that ut
was on it's way"
Rudolph Lauser, 1912 Pennsylvania
avenue, who also saw what Cook and
the other Carondelet police had seen,
told a reporter that he had been
informed it was 'some kids joke on
the police" Lauser said he had been
informed that Fred Weber, 10 years
old, Polk and Espenschied streets, and
Grover Hubble, II years old, 400 East
Marcau street, were the inventors OF
the Joke aeroplane."
Some persons say they have string
tied to it," said Lauser, "and When II
gets as far as the police station they
pull it back. They have lot of the
'aeroplanes,' they say.
1.-The boys place four strong kites to-
gether and then hang lanterns on the
corners"
A reporter called at the residence at
400 East Marceau street and was met
by Grover Hubble. Grover was busy
mixing paste and fixing up a kite.
When the reporter mentioned aero
plane Grover seemed to conceive that
he was a plain clothes man bent on re-
venge and, seizing his paste pot, he fled
out the back door. Grover needed no
aeroplane to assist him in his flight.
Persons in the neighborhood say that
Hubble and Weber have perfected their
"aeroplanes" SO that they have been
able to sell many to other boys for 10
cents each.

BULLET IN SKULL
TOO BIC FOR HOLE
Mystery Attending Discovery of
Mt. TamaIpais Skeleton
Is Deepened
WEAPON is BEING SOUGHT
Point Where Bones Found Near
Place at Which Woman'S
Body Discovered
Associated Press1

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-The mys-
terry surrounding the identity of the
man whose bones were found under the
redwoods on Mount Tamalpais last
Monday was deepened when late today
Coroner Sawyer found in the skull
bullet which was too large to have
passed through the hole in the temple
of the skull.
As Sawyer was working with the
skull Il 22-caliber bullet was pared
loose from somewhere inside. An at
tempt to fit it to the small aperture
found in the temple of the skull was
unsuccessful, and the coroner was
forced to discard the theory that the
hole had been made by a gunshot. On
account of the thickness of the bones
surrounding the hole. the coroner ridi-
cules the theory that it may have been
made by the hat pin found near the
body.
Although not on the same trail where
Woman's bones were found last Feb
ruary, the resting place of the mans
skeleton is readily accessible from the
scene of her death, and lies just be-
yond the nearest running water where
a murderer might have gone to remove
| the blood stains after crushing the
Woman's head with the big stone found
near the bones. To account for the
bullet inside the skull Coroner Sawyer
Joints out that the man may have shot
himself through the mouth or an eye.
No weapon was found with the bones,
but thorough search of the ground
where the body lay has not yet been
made. The shoulders of the skeleton
were half covered with vegetation, and
| it is possible that a weapon may be
buried in the mold where the bones
rested.
