Roth Details the Co ana of tne Brtaers la His Case Th State's At torney Looking- After OnUlde Kemben of the Boodllnf Com bine Cooarll Meeting- Last KICBt. Chicago, March 22. Just before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the grand jury returned indictments against the following seven aldermen: T. J. O'Brien, D.R. O'Brien, Nicholas A. Cra mer, Patrick J. Gorman, Philip Jack-son,-S. M. Gosselin and J. F. Dorman. The indictments are for feloniously conspiring; to commit bribery. Two more indictments were found, but not returned, against W. J. O'Brien. They charge bribery and state that O'Brien crave Alderman Both $1,000 to vote for the Northern Pacific ordinance and $750 to vote for the Economic gas ordinance. The names of the witnesses signed to me uuucuneni oesiues v-iiy isieric iiu Cleave, Aldermen Kunz, Chasey, Roth, I Vierling and Smith and Secretary Zim- t . n 1 - - ! are' John Williams and Hannah Larkin. j The fact that there is a woman in the case has heretofore been kept quiet, j trat it may yet prove an important fac-j tor. for the prosecution. In regard to ber appearance States Attorney Longe-. Decker says: "There are certain houses Of lil-repute which certain alrlermea visited while much the worse for liquor . aad they talked too freely while there for; their own good." Asked if more indictments might be expected the state's attorney replied: "Yon may look for about one a day from this time until the whole outfit is indicted." As soon as the indictments were out Judge Anthony of the criminal court Axed bail at 910,000 each. Capiases were at once issued and placed in the hands of deputy sheriffs. Rumors, however, flew faster than the; officers and most of the capiases were served in the criminal court building, the indicted aldermen having Come in of their own .accord. By 6 o'clock all except Aldermen Gorman and Gosselin had furnished bail, and these two, although not yet found by Che officers, are understood to have their bonds 'in coarse of preparation, Hatli Telia How He Got the Keaej. r1 Alderman Both last evening made public officially for the first time the part he has taken in the boodle trans actions of the city council- This state Bent, after reciting the manner of his Selection to be a member of the coun cil, says: ''At the time t2 the passage of the Economic gas ordinance over the may Jar's veto it' was found by the boodle members of the council it would be ne cessary to bring into line some alder mea not in line on the original vote on the ordinance. I was spoken to by one cf the O'Briens, who said that I could receive a consideration for my vote. Knowing the Daily News and other newspapers had taken a vigorous public stand against boodlin'g in the council and that they would be friendly to any exposure of the coun cil, I called on the Daily .News. The 'aaatter was carefully talked over by various pesrons interested in public affairs, and arrangements were mide for receiving the money promised in truck a way that witnesses could testify 'to the visit of the man who paid the money. Seven hundred and fifty dollars were paid me in my office, which money I immediately showed to ay bookkeeper, explaining who had paid it and why it was paid. This money within five minutes after receiv , lag it I took over to the Daily News omce, and in the presence of witnesses deposited in a .safe in a sealed envelope Waring the date and statement as to what it referred to. About two weeks after that the ordinance of the Northern Pacific passed the council the second time. A cer tain alderman, from the South side ward informed mc about noon on July 28,, the day after the ordinance had passed, that Billy O'Brien had the money and that he was to meet O'Brien at the Sherman house at 2 o'clock. I at once communicated the fact to the Daily News office and I understand they had the Sherman house watched aad discovered the statement which had been made to me was tun n t and that the aldermen were at the place as appointed. Very soon after 2 o'clock Billy O'Brien met me in the. city clerk's office and conducted me, into the washroom, where he handed me an envelope with the word 'Both' written on the outside .of it. The envelope was sealed. I weat over to the office of Mr. Baker. the attorney for the Tribune, and telephoned for representatives of other papers. The envelope was opened in the presence of all these witnesses and was found to contain two $500 bills. The witnesses took the hers of the bills and they were carefully sealed up in the en- velope sad the signatures of those present placed on the outside of the envelope. This was then, I under stand, taken to the Dally News office sad placed with the other money. oaor may Taleves." Chicago, March 33. In the face of possible imprisonment for a number of them, the Chicago city council last sight exhibited a disposition to be fa- ZTlfJ? O'Brien and P.J.Gorman. The pro ceedings were unusually subdued until the introduction of the following: "Ordered that the corporation coun cil be instructed to lend to the state's attorney all the aid in his power in in vestigating the alleged corruption in the city council." "There ought to be honor among thieves," exclaimed Alderman O'Neill, jocosely, "and I don't think the council should order an officer of the city to do anything of the kind." And on motion of Alderman O'Neill the order was placed on file. BLOWN INTO ETERNITY. Foot Men Killed la a St. Louis Brick . W..rk Explosion. St. Louis, Mo., March 22.

There are 7,000 shares in the Conti nental Oil company now consolidated with the Standard Oil company. Among the papers is a mining contract with an English company, represent ing $400,000.
