St. Louis, July 2. - Circuit Attorney Folk has information which may lead to the indictment of eastern capitalists for bribery in connection with the transit bill, which was passed by the Missouri legislature in 1889. Several capitalists in New York were interested in the bill, which made possible the consolidation of the street car lines in St. Louis, save the Suburban, and it is reported that they authorized the expenditure of $150,000 to consummate the deal.
