viii 30 Quashed.

Council, Bluffs June i5.--The district
court grand jury late Saturday after
noon returned indictments against
three of the solicitors OF names for the
saloon consent statement. Bench war
ANTS were served late Saturday even
Ing and each came forward with the
1900 required. The indicred men are
Mahlon c. Hartford, T. G. McMullin.
and E. J. Heck. All are charged with
perjury upon the ground that names
returned by them were declared to
have been forgeries.
The indictments were all returned
under the direction OF Attorney Gem
eral cosson and his assistants. Rankin
and Fletcher.
Believe Gases Are Weak.
That the indictments vii. ali De
quashei and dismissed on demurrer is
familiar with the facts who say the
attorney general gave the jurors err
roneous interpretations OF the law. u
Is said he instructed the jury that the
affidavits signed by each C the saloon
petition canvassers required them 70
swear that they were personally ac-
quainted with each of rhe signers
whose narnes they returned and knew
them to be persons whose lanes We're
attached. or in other words. that the
affidavit required is the same 5 pro-
vided by the code for the acknowledge
ment Of legal documents.
The Men Indicted.
The men indicted are Of high char
ecter. Mr.. McMullen IS the head of the
McMullen Transfer Company and is
commercially rated al $40. 900 Mr. HaY-
ford has been prominent IN railroad
circles but Mr.. Heck is not so we'll
known. Friends OF the men say they
are incapable of committing the nee
essary forgeries upon which the charge
of perjury ia based.
There are six counts n the ,ndict-
ment against Hartford, alleging that
six Of the names he returned were
forgeries.
AL Of the indictments were returned
in May, when Attorney General Cosson
was here They were no, reported TO
the court then for the reason County
Attorney Capell discovered none had
been signed BY the foreman Of the
grand jury and the abstract VI the evil
dence upon which they were based
was not attached. The grand Jury had
adjourned before this was pointed GU,
sto Mr.. Cosson- and It was then neces-
sary to wait until the jury recovered
last Monday.
1t is said that an indictment was
also returned against one other Of the
canvassers. one Of the most prominent
and best known business men Of the
city, but II Will not be pressed.

Many Of the younger genera ton have
never seen so much water at one time
in their lives. The city streets in

poured In. and the hole carefully
soaped. When the fuse was lighted,
the entire lock mechanism was blown
out. the quantity Of explosive being
judged to such nicely that the safe
door was not even marred. An over
coat and two towels found on the
premises were used to muffle the
sound.
The inner door. consisting of half
inch thickness OF steel. was also
drilled. only slight quantity of the
explosive being necessary TO force 1t
open.
The valuables were confined in a
steel strong box, and this was pried
loose and lifted bodily from the vault.
The outer door Of the safe which was
OF the three-ton variety consisted OF
four thicknesses of steei-six and a
half inches in all.
The swag consisted of $1,000 in
checks and over $500 in currency. The
main floor Of the Marks establishment
is far above the street level and. in adj
dition, the window in front Of the safe
is built in over four feet from the Of
fee floor, making it almost impossible
for person on the sidewalk below to
detect anything wrong.
The work was that of veteran yesg-
men. according to the police who
claim the only amateurism tinge to
the entire job was the taking of the
checks. Payment on most Of these
can be stopped, and should the robbers
attempt TO cash any Of the others. they
could be easily traced
