"a ELECTION
INDICTMENTS
IN NEW YORK
Declare Hoover, Donovan
and Pounds Robbed
of Votes

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-(UP1.
A New York county grand jury
yesterday indicted "a election in
spectors of six districts for al
legged violation of election laws
last November.
Assistant District Attorney Jas.
G.. Wallace indicated in a remark
to the court as the indictments
were being handed up that this is
but the first step in the prosecu-
ton of the alleged frauds.
The indictments grew out Of al
legged discrepancies in the officia!
vote count for all offices from
president down, excluding the re-
suits of investigation of the
"write-in" vote cast for the then
acting mayor. Joseph V. Mckee,
for mayor. The latter is to be the
object of a separate action by the
grand jury.
"These are the most fraudulent
election law violations that l have
ever heard Of" Wallace said.
"Not only were votes for Cover
nor Roosevelt. Colonel Lehman
and Judge O'Brien increased on
the tally sheets beyond what the
voting machines gave them, but
President Hoover, Colonel Dono-
van and Mr.. Pounds Republican
candidate for mayor were robbed
of votes"
