• GOVERNORS AND MAYOR. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) NEW YORK, September 9. In Indianapolis, Governor Jackson of Indiana and two other officials were indicted by a Grand Jury for attempted bribery and conspiracy to commit a felony; and Mayor Duvall of Indianapolis was indicted for violating the Corrupt Practices Act. The indictments grew out of a long series of Court actions, which involved Jackson’s predecessor, exGovernor McCray, who has just completed serving a term in prison, following conviction for embezzlement while in office. The revelations are said to have been made by high officials of the Ku Klux Klan, now also serving a term in prison, as the result of a murder charge, which Jed the Grand Jury to start the investigation which has ended in the indictments.
