 were eaca yesterday indicted in con nection with the swindle cases, it be ing charged that they participated III the deal wherein Frank r. Fox oi Terre Haute dropped the sum of s2Q,, 900 here in the Indinaa Club solne two months ago.
 Bryan is indicted on one count.
 Spear is indicted on three counts one being as principal, another being an accessory before the fact, and the other receiving the property, consist ing of s20,000.
 Immediately after the indictments were returned, Circuit Judge Gotham fixed the bond of Bryan at >10,000 and the bond of Spear at $20,000, and the papers were put in the nauds oi Deputy Wheatley, who served them
 Spear made his bond with himself C. Floyd Huff, his counsel; .. F. Klein, druggist; and L. D. Cooepr wholesale liquor dealer.
 Bryan made his bond with Himself Joe LeIeoy. former saloon proprietor; and Robert Murray, transfer man.
 Neither of the accused men were brought to the court house, the bonds being readily accepted by Deputy Wheatley, and later approved by Sheriff Williams when the papers were returned to him at the court house.
 Spear, it is stated, when recently taken before the grand jury to be in terTogated, admitted having handled some Of the spaper's in which various of the swindle cases were operated but explained that for years past he had been in the business of handling paper for gamblers and others who could not well handle it themselves He is said to have denied direct con nection with the cases under exami nation. at least in so far as any erim inal relation.
 Bryan had been the owner and op orator of the Indiana club rooms where, in the rear, the roulette game was worked through which Fox was made to win" $26.500, and later was turned for his own $20,000 in money Bryan stated immediately after the arrests were made that he had moth ing to do with the rear end of the building. waich had been sub-leaseo to another party, and denied any knowledge or information of the swindle cases
 The arrests of Bryan and Spear arc the first local connections with the swindle cases, but it is not improb able that other indictments will be returned against local parties. in con nection with these same cases, it be ing the impression that the grand jury already has evidence waich is corroboTating, in effect that others had part at least as Accessories te the swindle cases.
 The arrests of Spear and Bryan some time ago might have caused 8 genuine sensation but lately those following the cases closely were oi the opinion that the grand jury would not deal directly with the principals alone, but would extend it's probe tC local parties if such could be con nected in any manner or method with the operations.
 The general charge against both Ryan and Spear is that they cooper "ted with George Ryan, Big Charlie Wilt, J. H. Amis, alias Eberly, !. H Ward, alias Bert Sterling, alias The Brass Kid Joe Denton, who las mol yet been apprehended. and others i'll connection with the cases.
 The fact that Spear and Bryar were indicted even before the others under investigation were indicted. in dicates that the prosecution as con ducted by Attorney W. H. Martin special counsel for the prosecuting witness desires that these cases bs taken up at an earlier date than the others.
 It is assumed that at no far distan date the grand jury will return { batch of indictments, inclusive of al the parties generally accused as prin cipals in the swindIe cases, and tha immediately after that action nor, determined effort will be made t bring about the arrest Of Joe Den ton,' who has never yet been ar rested, and Dig Charlie" Wilt. wh, was arrested, put under s10,000 bond but who went to Omana and neve came back,
