Washington, Aug. 16.-(P)-Three men were indicted by a grand jury Tuesday for their part in the fighting between veterans and police which led to the ejection of the bonus army from the capital at the point of army bayonets.

The others are John O. Olson, 44, a carpenter, Nebraska, and Bernard McCoy, Chicago.
