THE- PITTSBtTRG-ISPATOH?' THURSDY," DECEMBER-!- T 1890. 5 TfiUE BILLS FOUND. Eesult of Ihe Charges of Bribery in the Twenty-Fifth District. WITNESS WHO CHAKGED HIS 5I1KD And Told Judge Ilsz:n What He Had Ecfnscd the Grand Jury. JUTSTEEIOUS BAITINGS IN SCRAXTON rFriciAi. telegham to thx dispatctii New Castle, Dec 3. The grand jnry just before noon to-day brought in true bills against John 1L Tate, Edwin Shaffer and Thomas Downing, charged with bribery at the late Congressional Convention. These are the cases which the September grand jury ignored. The trial will take place next week. The Court has appointed J. A. Gardner to prosecute the .cases in place of the District Attorney, who, tho prosecution charged, had not brought out the proper evi dence at the September term. The monotony of the proceedines was varied somewhat by a little scene this alternoon. The grand jury came into court and the foreman stated to Judge Hazen that 'Squire Krcd Iraerr, one of tho witnesses in the brloery caes, had refused to answer the question, whether he hAd received J25U to refrain from telling what he knewof the alleged bribery. Another vasas to whether Downing had come to his place In St. Clair borough at the cloo of the convention which had nominated McDowell ana Riven him S250 to keep still. The other iw o questions were variations of these. The reading of the questions seemed to arouse the indignation of Judge Hazeu. Turn ing to the foreman of tho jury he askedquick ly and sternly: "Do I understand that the witness Ducrr refused to answer these ques tions which have just been read?" "Yes, sir," was the replv. "Stand up,' said the Judge, in peremptory tones to the witness, who had sunk into a chair in a dazed sort of way. "Will you answer these questions?" continued the Judge. Andas the witness apparently attempted an explana tion, tho Court cut liim short with, "Answer my question, yes or no." "Yes," finally responded Duerr.who evidently realized to the full his unhappy predicament. Thereupon tho several questions were repeated and at the close of each the witness was asked whether he would answer that particular ques tion before the grand jury, to all of which he replied affirmatively. "You will remain within this building until you have answered these questions," said the Judce to Duerr.and thelatterwas given into the hands of tho jurors for examination. HITTIKG THE LIQUOR TBAITIC. Impress Company Indicted by a 'West Virginia Grand Jury. rtriCIAt. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.: Pakkersbprg, Dec 3. A few days ago, under instructions from tho court, the grand jury of Doddridge county returned indictments against the United States Express Company for carrying C O. D. packages of liquors. They also indicted the express agent at West Umou for receiving, delivering and collecting money on C O. D. packages and the merchant in the city who sold and shipped C. O. D. packages. These cases will all be appealed to the Supreme Court of the State. Another surprise is in store for the liquor men. The express company to-day instructed all of its acents in the interior not to receive anv C. O. D. packajes, anu not to deliver or collect any monev on packages of the same character w Inch they may ha e on hand. The "jug trains." which have for years formed an important part of the shipments bv express into the interior, seem now to be doomed. The blow is a severe one to the liquor merchants of this citv and Wheeling, and if the Supreme Court affirms the decisions of the lower court it will be a great victory for the anti-license and Prohibitionists of the interior.
