Specific Charges Jackson was fpecificially of offering McCray $10,000 if McCray would appoint a Marion county (Indianapolis) prosecutor satisfactory to Jackson. MecCray was purported to have re- fused the offer. However, a few months later, he was convicted of using the mails to defraud in an attmpt to refinance his agricultural holdings. He received a sentence in Atlanta federal penitentiary. Accused with Jackson in the pres- cnt charges are Robert 1. Marsh, former legal adviser to the Ku Klux .Klan, and George V. Coffin, promi-, nent republican. The latter two will be tried scparately. The state contended the three con- spired to gain control of the Marion county prosecutor's office when accused Willlam P. Evans, McCray's son-in- | law, resigned. It was said that Evans resigned rather than prose- | cute his father-in-law.
