New True Bill Is Returned
Against Moore; Errors
Are Corrected.

Five city councilmen, already un-
der indictment in Criminal Court,
were reindicted today on bribery
charges by the Marion County grand
Jury in a partial report returned to
Judge James A. Collins.
Martin Frankfort, local real es-
tate dealer, also named in an in
dictment returned several weeks ago,
was renamed in a new true bill.
Four of the five indictments re-
turned against the councilmen were
to correct errors in phraseology,
which, in the earlier joint indict-
ment against four councilmen, de-
scribed the Office of councilmen as
one of "trust and profit"
Prosecutors said the former in
dictments were drawn under statutes
for State offices. This does not
apply to municipal offices, they said.
Errors Are Corrected
The remainder corrected similar
errors in seven individual indict-
ments previously returned.
The councilmen indicted are:
Boyton j. Moore, Otis E. Bartholo-
NEW, Claude E. Negley, Millard w.
Ferguson and Walter R. Dorsett.
There were three separate indict-
ments and the joint one against
Moore. He now is named in five sep
arate indictments, one of which is
new.
Collins now has under advise
ment motions to quash the former
indictments. He said the council
men will be at liberty under present
bonds until Monday, when they will
be arraigned on the new indict-
ments. New bonds of $1,000 each
will be required.
Bribe Attempt Charged
The new indictment against
Moore alleged that on Oct. IS, when
contract for fire apparatus pur-
chase was before the council, he
tried to bribe Otto Ray Albertson,
another member, with an offer of
$500. A previous Indictment charged
Moore with receiving a similar
amount.
The new indictments carry the
same charges based on alleged
bribeS of money to influence re-
zoning sites at Forty-Sixth st. and
College Ave-, Twenty-Sevent and
Meridian Sts.; purchase of fire ap-
paratuS, and the proposed impeach-
ment proceedings against former
Mayor John L. Duvall, pending be-
fore the council Oct. Is, 1927.

sensing danger, the crowd moved
out of the building without panic.
A few minutes later the building
was in ruins.
AS the flames spread uptown,
they finally ignited the big Durfee
Mill at Twelfth st. and 1t soon was
in flames.
The flames spread then to Eight
eenth st.
It was so cold that streets were
turned to sheets Of ice and the
charred walls in many places were
ice coated.
Ice Hampers Fight
Much of the fire fighting ap-
paratus was coated with ice and was
rendered useless.
Scenes of desolation came through
the glow of the fire early this
morning.
Much of the city is built Of granite
and some of these great building
walls still were standing. At the
Pocasset mills-where all three
structures were leveled-there stands
only a 200-foot chimney as evidence
of one of the city's great business
enterprises.
The granite block" for years one
Of the main business buildings, was
a mass of twisted girders. Firemen
dynamited some of the walls of that
building in an attempt to check the
fire. But it was q useless attempt
Several firemen were injured in the
explosion.
Phone Operators Heroic
Stories OF heroism came even
while the most of the city was
guarding against destruction OF its
property or preparing to flee to
safety.
Telephone operators, working ct
an exchange near the Wilbur Hotel,
continued at their tasks for more
than an hour as they watched the
flames consume the hotel and eat
steadily toward their building. The
telephone lines finally were put out
Of commission shortly before mid
night as the ice and flames snapped
the cables.

THIRTY-FOUR days ago Lenora
l. F. Coy, IS, of 61O E. Tenth ST.,
became the bride of Wilbur Floyd
Smith, II, of 915 Edison St., in
special free ceremonies in County
Clerk George o. Hutsell's office
marking the opening og Leap Year.
Today a suit asking annulment
of the marriage is pending before
Superior Judge Linn D. Hay. 1t
was filed by Ora F. Coy, father Of
the girl, on the grounds that his
daughter was not of legal age.
Despite the fact that the suit
is pending, Mrs. Smith asserts she
loves her youthful husband and
declares she is not sorry she asked
him to marry hel.
The girl said she is going to
buriueSS college and Wilbur as
sertS he will remary her if the
~ IS Vntied.
Mrs. Coy explained she was
worried almost crazy when she
permitted her daughter to give
the false age, but that Mr.. Coy
had been out of the city for four
weeks and hadn't heard of the
marriage.
"I have nothing against Will
bur-" Mrs. Coy said. Both chill
dren are too young to marry. He
can't properly support a wife. If
they want to get married later, I
shall not object"
And Hutsell is rather disap-
pointed that his big-hearted offer
Of free splice didn't turn out
50 well.
My gift marriage, regardless
of the way it turned out, was a
good one," he said. Even if it
didn't cost anything, it was as
good as any we have in stock"
