Commenting on these deals, Mr. Brls tow says: "Men of ordinary Intelligence rarely waste the public revenues In such a manner without a personal motive. A bribe of $12,600 was-paid Congressman Edmund H. Driggs to secure the order for '260 machines. A part of this money has been traced to the bank account of Beavers. Snmmary of Charges.
