SENATOR NEWBERRY AND
HIS PALS ON TRIAL
ASSOCIATED Press)

Grand Rapids, Jan. 27.-United
States Senator Newberry and 1913 men
prominent in Michigan politics went
on trial in federal court here today
charged with conspiracy, fraud and
corruption in the 1918 senatorial cleo
ton. The duration of the trial has
been variously estimated from four
weeks to two months.
History of the Case
Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 27.-U
s. Senator Truman H. Newberry and
1913 other men were charged with cor
ruption, fraud and conspiracy by the
federal grand jury which investigated
the senatorial election of 1918. When
the indictments were returned Nov
80, last, United States District Judge
G. w. Sessions, who assembled the
jury, indicated that evidence obtained
by the inquisitors disclosed that be-
tween $50O,000 and $1,000,000 had
been expended fraudulently in con-
nection with the election.
The indicted men included every
member of the committee that con-
ducted the Newberry campaign and
state, county and municipal officials
in virtually every county from Lake
Superior to the Ohio border.
The conclusions of the grand jury
were embodied in two blanket indict-
ments. They charged violation OF
both federal and state laws by use OF
sums of money far in excess Of legiti-
mate expenses in the campaign; and
violation of the federal corrupt prac-
tices act. which penalties payment OF
money to voters. Use of the mails etc
defraud all the people of Michigan
was further charged against the cam.
paign committee. More than 100000
Of the contributed fund, it charged
was converted to the personal use OF
some of the campaign managers.
James w. Helms. former state dairy
and food commissioner, who opposed
Henry Ford for the democratic nomi
nation in the senatorial primary, an
other clause of the indictment alleged
was compensated by the Newberry or
ganization for making the primary
race The alleged purpose was tt
prevent democratic voters from "lin
ing up" with Ford in the republican
primary.
Attached to the indictments was {
list of more than two score cover
acts" These contained charges tina
a number of those indicted had giver
rewards ranging from promises of {
"good job" to payments of sums rang
ing from S5 to $270O in return fo1
support in the Newberry campaign
One country editor was alleged t.
have received a ton of print paper.
Senator Newberry and thirteen O.
the men who directed the campaign
work in 1918. appeared before Judg
Sessions Dec. and on the advice O
counsel stood mute. This was done. i
was explained, that the validity of tn
indictments might be cancelled later
should it be decided to attack them.
The maximum penalty for the of
fences charged is fine of $4,000 an
two years Imprisonment.
