The indictment is based on section 5440 of the Revised Statues, which provides a penalty of $10,000 or two years’ imprisonment, or both, in the dis- cretion of the court. There are twelve counts to the indict- ment, eleven of which are substammny[ the samd as those found previously | against Machen and the Groffs. The first | count, which relates to the conspiracy | charge, sets forth that on June 29, 1900, | in the District of Columbia, Lorenz, Mrs. | Lorenz, Machen and the Groff brothers “conspired, combined, confederated and | agreed to defraud the United States Gov- | ernment of its moneys,” by the following | arrangement: Machen should advise and recommend to the First Assistant Post-| master General the purchase from the | Groff brothers of a large number of !he\ Groff fasteners for mail boxes at $125| each and should procure payment thereof, | upon which the Groff brothers should re- | tain 60 per cent of such payment, or 75 cents for each fastener, and the Groff brothers should then pay to Mr. and Mrs. | Lorenz, either or both, the remaining 40 | per cent, which was to be “converted, ap- propriated and applied to the use” of Mr. and Mrs. Lorenz and Machen. The indictment says that this agreement | was carried out by Machen on June 30, | he recommending the purchase of 6000 of the fasteners at the price mentioned that the Groff brothers on the same date presented a bill for 6000 fasteners at the price mentioned; that on September 13 of the same year Machen recommended | to the First Assistant Postmaster General the payment of that bill, and that the Groft brothers, “having thereafter, on September 22 of that year, received from | the United States $7500 in payment of the | bill,” Dillon B. Groff on October 20, the same year, paid 33000 to George E. and Martha Lorenz. The testimony upon which the indict- ment is found was given by Walter S. | Mayer, Paul Williams and Joseph F. Far- rell and Theodore W. Warner and Wil-| lam R. Lewis, the latter two being bank | men. I —_———— COUP D'ETAT EFFECTED ON ISLAND OF MALTA | Restoration of the Old Constitution Works Change in the Brit- ish Possession. LONDON, June 22.—According to a dis- patch from Valletta, Malta, a minor coup d'etat has been effected there by the abrogation of the constitution of 1887 and the re-establishment of the consti-| tution of 1849. By this step the legisla- | tive council hereafter will be composed of eight selected members and nine Govern- | ment members instead of fourteen and | six, respectively, as heretofore, i Some such action had been expected in | consequence of the trouble about the lan- guage question. The elected members ob- jected to the predominance of the Eng- lish language in the schools and recently defeated the education appropriation for the current year. On June 17 the Lieu- tenant Governor desired to reintroduce the appropriation bill, but the elected members refused him permission to do so. Under the new conditions the Government will control the legislative council. S e Poor Showing by American Team.
