HUNTER AND CONGRESS MAN WILSON ACCUSED. CHARGED WITH BRIBERY. thm lirantl .Jury Find* Indictment* Agaln*t the Republican Caacu* Nominee for Senator — Five Thousand Karh Offered for Four Democratic Vote* —Charge* Denied* Frankkokt. Ky., April 11. — Indict ment* charging bribery and conspir acy to bribe have been prepared by the Franklin county grand jury against three of the most noted Re publicans in the state, and true bills may also be returned against ex-Con ' gressman \V. Godfrey limiter of tlie Third district, Republican nominee for the United Htalcs Senate; Congress man .J. 11. Wilson of the Seventh dis trict, one of Dr. Hunter's closest ad visers, and K. T. Franks, one of the leading Republican politicians of the Second district The indictments were prepared upon the testlmoney of (‘upturn Noel Gaines, Captain Thomas Tanner, hi* brother-in-law, and Fred Gordon, ail of thi* city. The charges are indignantly denied by Dr. Hunter, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Franks, all of whom say they will prosecute for criminal libel all who have testified before the grand jury. They all claim that It is the last dcs nerate effort of the Blackburn Demo crate to prevent Dr. Hunter'* election. The following authorized interview was given out this morning by Captain 'J'Uoma* Tanner, one of the accusing witnesses: "I wax first called to the Capitol hotel on April 1. and took Dr, Hunter to Captain Gaines's house. 1 there board the conversation which followed between Dr. Hunter and Gaines. I was in an adjoining room. My, principal connection with the case was through Wilson and I’ranks. On various occasions I was called to consult with them and urged to take a hand in buying votes. They insisted they must have three or four Democratic votes, and singled out Rep resentatives Gossoma, Clarke, Johns and Lykens, whom they said we (Gaines and myself) must get, al though any Democratic votes would be acceptable. I was called to the Cap ital hotel Monday night and had a conference with Wilson in room 21, #!lson had a big roll of bills—he said there were 85,uiu in the package, and from all appearances there were. There were four such packages, or 820,000, and he said this would be paid for four votes for Dr. Hunter, lie showed me the money as an evidence of good faith. He seemed to be the man who handled all the money. I had severat conferences with Franks in the same room. 1 was last called there Thursday morning, when they seemed to think that some members of the legislature had offered to succumb for 810,ooo, but they thought this too high. Franks was in the plan and talked about buying votes, but he never directly offered me money with which to buy them. ’’ Captain Games' statement directly charges Hunter with offering him 815,000 with which to secure three Democratic votes, and relates with specific particulars alt the details of tin- attempted bribery.
