DIHHMW GUILTY Df bribing JUtiY Verdict in Sequel to Famous McNamara Case Returned in Thirty-one Minutes. LuS ANGELES, Aug. 17;—Clarence S. Darrow was ’today acquitted of a charge of jury bribing. After a trial that has lasted since early in May, the famous advocate of the cause of union labor was freed by the jury from charges growing out of the sensational ending of the trial of James B. McNamara, confessed slayer of 21 persons. In a court room packed to suffoca tion. while hundreds more tried to crowd in. the final scene of the great drama waa staged today. Judge George H. Hutton was the principal actor. Judge Hutton, in his crisp, legal man ner. swept away the first count against Darrow —that of bribing Juror Robert N. Bain. Then the judge, in the precise phrase ology of the law, attacked the mass of testimony that had been piled up sot I::" state. Franklin's story, he said, could not be credited, even though it v. ere believed, unless other testimony corroborating it directly connected Darrow with the other count in the in dictment. Testimony Not To Be Credited, Says Court. Tile judge went on—carefully and thoughtfully—to expain that testimony of persons given under hope of immu nity from punishment should not as an academic proposition—be believed. Then the jurors filed ou:. Darrow was not given to the custody of the sheriff. Instead, the court directed Earl Rogers, chief counsel for the de fendant. to "have and take charge of the defendant." Mrs. Darrow, who had been sitting beside her husband, dropped her head on his shoulder and wept. There was a murmur in the court room. 'I hen for a time it was still. Darrow, his mobile face showing the wear and tear of the long months of anxiety, gazed steadily ahead of him. except' when, for a moment, he turned to comfort his wife. For 31 minutes the suspense continued. Then a bell rang. A deputy sheriff elbowed his way through the crowd at the <’»<”■ TI J e jury was ready to come in. Slowly ihev made their way to the jury box. The foreman got to his feet ■ We, the jury,” he read from a bit of paper in his hand, "find the defendant NOT gulltv as charged in this indict in'-nt.” Court Room Scene of Hysteria. The suspen-e was broken. 1< gave wa> to hysteria Seldom in a. court room in tilts country has there been such a scene. The crowd in the back of the room iried to rush past the inclosure to the -■lace where the defendant was sitting. The bailiffs fought to hold them back, order was a thing unheard of. impossi ble The spectators had seen a little drama of real life. They wanted to tell die hero what they thought of him Darrow was profoundly moved. Tears streamed down his cheeks, but his rigid self-control did not give w.iy. Hardly had the foreman read his one brief sen tence before the defendant stepped to ward the Jury box and thanked the men who had just declared him innocent. But before he went even to the jurors he turned to his wife. Mrs. Darrow threw her arms about her husband’s neck. Her husband gently disengaged her arms, and friends led her into the judges’ chambers at the rear of the court room. ALLEN GANG CHIEF PREFERS PEN TERM TO A TRIAL BY JURY RICHMOND.

SEEKING TO REMEDY STREET CONDTIONS BY ADDING TO FUND After several lengthy sessions, the finance committee of the city council today sought to mend unsatisfactory conditions in the streets department by an additional appropriation of $4,100 to the ordinary fund. But a majority of the committee were dissatisfied with the result. They stated that they had not got and would not get the results in street work they had expected. While the streets ordinary fund is exhausted. Chairman Candler stated that but a small part of the rock and £hert work and the contract work pro vided for this year would be done by the construction department. The total appropriation to the department will not be spent. Because of the slow progress of work, he pointed out that the item [ of $62,000 in the budget as estimated receipts from assessments for street work done would fall far short. The work has been passed up. but little ot it had been done; and the assessments ' , r i.«ear-UkM'ds of the cost, can not. there ' ire, be collected. All free labor on sidewalk and street ~ruling has been stopped. The streets ordinary fund is now only sufficient to I maintain the stockade gang on this i work L. & N.
