(Special From 8' ate 'ocriial.l
OMAHA, N-b- Dec lS-Tue Uni
ted States grand jury yesterday made
Its repoit to Ihe court, rituming
nineteen true bills.
These include indictments against
United States Senator Charles H.
Dietrich, for all ged illegal leasing of
a building at Hastings, Neb., to the
government to be used as a postotlice;
Former Adjutant General Leonard
W. Colby, for the alleged embezzle
ment of government funds: Daniel
G litis of Iiassett, Neb., for alleged
perjury in swearing falsely to home
stead entrhs; Former Slate Repre
sentative Klliott Lowe, for alleged
conspiracy to bribe a United States
Senator; Pos' master John S. Mitch
ell of Alma, Neb., charging him with
illegal sale of postage stamps; WP1-
un M. Irwin, on a charpp of acting
as agent for Mitchell, and against R.
Allen, president of the Srandard
Cattle company for the alleged illegal
fencing o government lands.
Tlie other indictments were similar
lo that against Allen, but do not io-
vplve extcoslve tracts of land. The
ju 1 y reported it had further matters
under consideration.
The statute under which the in
dictments against Senator Dietrich
1 drawn provides a pin ilty'of $:i,OoO
line and requires the return of all
iiiouev paid by the government un
der the contract In case of conviction.
'he penalty for bribery, with which
Llliott Lowe is charged, provides a
heavy tine and imprisonment 1 ot (0
exceed ten yeais. The penalty for
embezzlement, which charge is placid
agiinst General C.ilby, Is either fine
nr imprisonment, at the direction of
the court.
The Indictments against Senator
Dietrich and Representative Lowe
are in additioo 10 tnose returned
against them some time ago. Sena-
tnr Dietrich Is charged with alleged
violation of section 37.'1!) of the revis
ed statutes which provides that no
member or delegate to congress
mil "directly or indirectly, by him
self or by any other person in trust
r li i in, or for his use or benefit, or
on his account, undertake, execute,
ho d or enj v, in whole or in part,
y contract or agreement made or
tn:cred Into on behalf of the United
States, by any ollicer or peison au
thorized to make contracts en be
half of the United States " The
indictment 'charges that Senator
DleHich leased to the government
on April 24, 1901, a building at list
ings, Neb., to be used fur a postotlice,
at an annual rental of $1,300. There
is one count which covers the amount
received for rental on the building
from the date of its lease by the gov
ernment to ;the pres nt time, equal
to a sum slightly In excess of $2,000.
The Indictment against Former
Representative Lowe charges him
willi alleged conspiracy to bribe a
United States senator. Two counts,
each of $500, are named In the bill.
It is cbamed that these accounts
were paid to Loe by I'ostmaster
John C. Mitchell in consideration or
Lowe's endorsement of Mitchell's
candidacy toSenatoi Dietrich for the
appointment as postmaster at Alma.
Gen. Leonard W. Colby was lodict-
eri for the aliened embezzlement or
a mounts aggregating $3,000 of gov
eminent funds, paid to him in tmsb
hv the state of Ni braska and others
for equipment, belonging to the uni
ted States army. The bill charges
that while adjutant general of Neb
raska General Cclbv turned over to
the state penitentiary during Jan
nary, 1901, 100 United States army
blankets to be used in an emergency
caused by a Ore in that institution;
that tne state legislature appropria
ted $2,80 to reimburse tbe govern
ment for these blankets, the amount
bcitiR turned over to Colby to be
nald to the government: that the
amount was never paid into the Unl
ted States treasury nor turned back
Into the state treasury when Colby's
term as adjutant general expired.
