MANTELL FOUND GUILTY OF BRIBING DISTRICT ATTORNEY MYERS- CHARGE BROUGHT BY ATTORNEY WHO NOBLY SPURNS OFFER. lntense excitement was felt at the court house to-day when District Attor- ney George Myers brought a charge of bribery against Iacob Mantell, now awaiting trial for disturbing the peace. ENDEAVORED TO BE A MUSICIAN The trial against Mantell came about as a result ofthe latter's ambition to be- come a musician. It is stated that Mr. Mantell practiced on the violin far into the night. Since his playing was not particularly harmonious, and since such hours of the night are usually devoted to sleep, charges were quickly brought against the would-be musician by scores of indignant neighbors whose soulS refused to respond to the glorious power of music. As soon as the charges were brought against him, Mantell went to the dis- trict attorney and tried to bribe the latter to drop the charge. Mr. Myers spurned the bribe and in Iudge Ettinger's court started an action on the more serious charge. MAKES STATEMENT ln an interview with a representative of The Daily Exhaun, Mr. Mantell made the following statement: The charges brought against me by District Attorney Myers are untrue, and were prompted by political jealousy. I did not offer any bribe nor had I any thought of doing so. As soon as it is possible I intend to bring a charge of libel against Mr. Myers. Such unfair- ness must not go unpunished. FATE UNKNOWN It is not known at present just what further action will be taken against Mantell. It is rumored, however, that he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The trial for disturbing the peace will come up before Justice of the Peace, Edwin Merriman, Monday, Iune 20, at 10:50 A. M. The more serious action will be heard during the luly term ofthe Circuit Court with the Honorable Her- man Lynch presiding. Nlantell will be represented by the firm of Davis, Heck and Konnak. BUYS A GOLD BRICK Two strangers are reported to have sold Hilmar Heuer a gold brick which turned out to be lead. After looking through the rouge's gallery, Heuer identi- fied the men as Al.
