BRIBERY & CONSPIRACY ALLEGED STATE GOVERNOR ACQUITTED Presi Association—By Telegraph—Copyright NEW YORK, February 17. (Received February IS, at 9 a.m.) The Indianapolis ‘Message’ reports that Governor Jackson, of Indiana, was acquitted. [A message received on September 12 stated that at Indianapolis Governor Jackson, of Indiana, and two other officials were indicted by grand jury for attempted bribery- and conspiracy to commit felony, and Mayor Duvall, of Indianapolis, was indicted for violating the Corrupt Practices Act. The indictments grew out of a long series of court actions, which involved Governor Jackson’s predecessor, ex-Governor M'Cray, who has just completed serving a term in prison following his conviction for embezzlement while in office. The revelations are said to have been made by high officials of the Kn Klux Klan, now' also serving a term in prison, as the result of a murder charge which led the grand jury to start the investigation which has ended in the indictments.]
