The ex- .Councilman, whose testimony convicted Snyder of bribery here in the fall of 1902, causing a penitentiary sentence of five years, which the Supreme Cour? reversed, was ushered into the grand jury room. For more than two hours, he remained within. After giving his testimony, Uthoff was! taken into an adjoining room while the grand jury deliberated on the indict- ments. It was found that Uthoff’s testi- mony was in conflict with that given in February, 192, when he was originally questioned ‘about the. Central Praction. . This week.after the bill L been bly. ' Although. the: imony was. given four years ago Uthoff has not since been a resident of Missouri, but of- Colorado, and was, hence, not entitled to the pro- tection of the statute of limitations. Uthoff was released on $3000 bond, signed by Joseph Schuler at 11:15. He stated that he would return immediately to Denver. ‘Biggest of Bribery Deals. ‘Ss . whose case has attracted na- Bit’ aliention: must again stand trial in the criminal courts for what was re- ed as the most stupendous and ate of all thé St. Louis briberies. He came to St. Louts in the spring of 1898 and répresented that he was an Eastern capitalist, seeking a franchise to build an extensive system of street railroads in this city. The Central Traction bill was framed, and after having once been vetoed py Mayor Ziegenhein, was passed over his veto, but at a cost to the pro- moters of $250,000 in bribes. When Circuit Attorney Folk, now Gov- ernor, investigated municipal corruption in 1902, he discovered Snyder's connec- tion with the deal and succeeded in having an indictment voted against him. He Statended that Snyder's absence of from the State sto the stat- limitations and rendered him li- on. t case against Snyder was dis- week by Judge Reynolds. It Attorney Sager Bony seni the indictment e cou abi dance of Uthoff and oth- had promised to against Snyder, William H. a year ute of ; “Touch” Caused Indictment. An wnusual story of the origin of the present Indictments was told at the Four Courts Friday. Uthoff has always been a refractory witness, and it took much persuasion eon the part of Folk and former grand s to influence him to turn State's vidence. Even after he ascended the witness stand in 1902 it was neces- sary for Folk to handle him with gloves. From the time he was excused from further attendance in 1902 until Fri- day, efforts to bring him within the risdiction of the have led. He has been running a sa- on Seventeenth street in Denver. ‘Bugene Sweeney, joint promoter d h ocal. courts 6 ith Snyder of the Central traction ll, recently visited Denver. It is that Sweeney found himself short of change in Denver, and re- * quested a loan of Uthoff. Upon being used, he is said to have threat- hed to convey information to Folk that a conspiracy existed .to keep witnesses out of the State when the Snyder case was called for trial. ney and Ritter were on good and cinew gem to make good the The letter was written, and the communicated its contents to ger.

It is thought that he will not again refuse to comply with the Circuit Attorney’s request to

He pleaded with Sager to protect him from interviewets and expfessed.a desire to gét out of town as quickly as possible. A caplas was issued for Snyder and placed in the hands of the Sheriff, whose duty it will be to serve it on the miliion- aire. Snyder left St. Louis last week under the impression that the. case against him was at an end, but Sager said at the time that he would revive the indictment. The second indictment is made. possi- ble because the original indictmen. stupped the. running of the statute of limitations. The difficulty that now confronts the State is to secure evi- dence regarding Snyder's residence out- side of Missouri during. at least one year trom 1898 until 1902. Sager says he has discovered witnesses whose _testi- mony will supply the deficiencies. on this point which, the Supreme Court held, existed in the State’s former case. The names of Uthoff and Ritter. only appexr as witnesses on the indictment, but others will be supplied later, Sager says. Uthoff testified before Judge Ryan in afand jury Snyder for his vote on the Central Trac- tion bill, and returned the $60,000 which oareee brought to his home, ex ing twice that amount. He overreachea himself, and got only $5000, for which he had to follow Snyder to New York. As a receipt for the $5000, Uthoff signed the famous letter in which he declared Snyder to be “as far above offering a bribe as I am above accepting one.”’ It was afso in the Snyder trial that Judge H. 8. Priest declared to the jury ot bribery is ‘“‘only a conventional crime."’
