tPuDlIshers Frees Findlay, O., Nov. 14. It is claimed that a $500 bribe for a disagreement of the Hancock county petit jury which tried and convicted the Standard Oil company of Ohio on charges of criminal conspiracy was twice offered C. O. Meyers, one of the 12 Jurors, during the trial of the case. The first offer was made to Meyers on the street, in the very shadow of the courthouse in which the Standard Oil company was being tried. This was in the shape of a direct proposition to pay $500 for a disagreement. The second offer was made in the basement of the courthouse itself, when some man, at present unidentified, showed the juror a big roll ot bills and tendered them to him. Both offers were ma-le by the same man, and both were jelined. Identity of the would-be briber has not been established. Meyers says he does not know him. Prosecutor David and other officials are familiar with the attempt to corrupt the jury, but refuse to discuss the matter in any way. Though every effort is being made to discover and punish the briber, the state has carefully covered up whatever clews it may have. Investigation of facts will be pushed by the grand jury now in session but it Is likely that that body will not include in its report the bribery phase of its deliberations. It is believed that the grand jury investigation is prosecuted merely toput Prosecutor David in possession of all obtainable facts, to enable him to go after any corruptionists uncovered. At thir time of the Standard trial Findlay was full of strangers, and rumors of efforts to reach the jury were persistent, though they could never be verified. Prosecutor David's move in summoning before the grand jury the members of the petit jury which convicted the Standard after heart-breaking deliberations, has borne rich fruit. Whatever Prosecutor David may have suspected, it is thought that Meyers added unsuspected evidence to ix when he appear

ed before the grand jury. Meyers, on-

willingly and with great reluctance, told his story to a reporter at his

home south of Findlav.

After admitting that attempts were

made to 'bribe him he said: "The first offer was made onus morning during the first week of the trial. Before court convened a man approached me

In front of Bloominardare clothing:

store and said: 'There's $500 in it

for you for a disagreement of the

jury. I made no reply to this offer.

Later on in the trial the same man

met me in the basement of the courthouse. He had a big roll of bills in his hand. He held them out to me

and said: 'You better take this.

"Well, I gues not, I replied."

A medium sized, dark complexion-

ed, well dressed man, with a short

moustache, is Meyer's description of

the briber. Meyers gave a character

istic reason for not informing Judge Banker of the attempt a& bribery.

I did not know what to do, he

said, "there had been so much news

paper talk about the trial and I knew It would make a big sensation. I am

just a plodding farmer and never was mixed up with such a thing before.

I did not want to get in the newspa

pers. So I just made up my mind to hush, and I did not tell anybody until summoned before the grand jury."

Meyers is 49 and a typical farmer,

Industrious and bearing an excellent reputation among his neghbors. He cultivates 120 acres 10 miles south of Findlay.

Negro Shot Four Men. Asheville, . N. C, Nov. 14. Charles

Blackstock and William Bailey, policemen, were shot to death on the street by a negro who called himself

killing of the two officers, Ban Allison, a negro restaurant keeper, was killed

by Harris, who shot him with a rifle without provocation. Another negro named Tom Neil lies mortally wound
