A disclosure alleged to have been made by McCarver had to do with men well known to him who asked him to see that cafes were not disturbed for the rea- son that they “very prominent people, some of them holding high city, State and| Federal offices."

They also know the names of the men who made the requests and theso men have been listed for| examination, NO MORE INDICTMENTS UNTIL, NEXT WEEK. After McCarver had protested he was merely the tool of Yancey and| Allen he was asked how it happened that he was continually in the rooms of one or the other at the Commo- dore, particularly when cafe proprie- tors were present in an alleged cffort to buy off the Federal agents. To this McCarver asserted he was a victim of @ rent profiteering land- a stranger to his flat. old friend Yancey to “take a tub mornings” and shave himself. In the course of his statement, Mc- Carver asserted that being a bit sus- picilous he was being used by his chum Yancey he went about among saloon keepers informing them he couldn't be bought and warning them to pay no tribute to any one on the supposition that he could be of ser- vice.
