The federal grand jury in St. Louis on Saturday handed down indict- mente against W. A. Morrow, Thos. E. Barrett and Joseph J. Gillick on the charge of aiding and abetting naturalization frauds. According to the story told to the * grand jury ten foreigners were given © naturalization papers by the parties ) named without having taken them " before the court. It is alleged that - Gillick furnished the names, and Bar- rett secured the papers with the seal of the court and the clerk's name at- ) tached, sud gave them to Morrow to "be delivered to Gillick. > Al. Morrow, as he is known to ev- -). ery politician in the state, has been the confidential stenographer for the past three governors and holds that position with Governor Dockery. He and his wife have lived in the man- sion since Mrs. Dockery died. He is a man of high character, with ahere- tofore unblemished reputation and his hosts of friends over the state will not believe he has been a party to any kind of a fraud, until it is proved beyond a doubt. GOVERNOR BELIEVES THAT MORROW IS INNOCE) Governor Dockery made the fol- lowing statement concerning W. A. Morrow, his private stenographer, who has been indicted in connection with naturalization frauds: “] shall not ask for Mr. Morrow's resignation and | would not accept it if tendered. I have known him for years and for nearly three years I ' have been in intimate and confiden- tial relations with him. “He has during that time been my official stenographer. 1 have seen } him nearly evary day, and much of the time every day, and there has not been an act, a word or hint by him during that time in with the highest sense of personal and public honor and rectitude. “Of the facta involved I have no personal knowledge, but I have a strong and abiding faith and convie- tion that he is Innocent of the charge against him. _ “His case is set down for early trial in a tribunal that commands the confidence of the people, and simple justice requires that I shall await its determination of the charge.” Thos. E Barrett was marshal of the Court of Appeals at the times the frauds are alleged to haye been com- mitted and had access to the seal of _ the court and the clerk’s papers. Gillick was a ward boss and demo- . cratic committeeman.
