No Indictments Are
Found In Bribery Case

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, April 1s-The
grand jury for Anne Arundel county
this morning completed its examination
of the witnesses in connection with the
allegations of bribery or attempted brib-
cry of members of the house of dele
gates. in order to secure the defeat of
the local option bill. Two witnesses
were examined, George A. Baldwin and
j. Bibb Mills, and at the conclusion
of the examination of the latter State s
Attorney N. II. Green left the room and
there is no doubt that the jury is con-
sidering whether or not to bring any
presentments
Baldwin, whose home Is in Laurel, is
the senate employe who is alleged to
have been the messenger between Will
liam r. Smallwood, who claims to have
been offered $500 to vote against the To-
cal option dill, and John F. O'Malley, the
State official, who Is named by Small
wood as the man making the offer.
J. Bibb Mills is the chief assistant of
William II. Anderson, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League. 1t is
thought that Anderson named Mills
as his authority for certain statements
or rumors, and that the jury tried to
get further information through him.
The grand jury. after about a half
hours consultation, found that the evil
dence did not warrant an indictment
against O'Malley or any other person
in connection with the alleged legisla-
tive bribery. O'Malley's bondsmen were
released, and there will be no further
proceedings.
