Sinclair gave the $160,000 to the republican party in 1920 and when the circumstances of the gift came to light, Senator Borah said he felt that party morals demanded its re- turn. He announced that he would receive voluntary contributions to “purge” the Sinclair contribution. That was some months ago. He began parceling out $8,000 to 340 persons yesterday. Asked about the interest the money had ecarned Bo- rah smiled and replied: 1 am not charging anything for my services.” Shows Joy Stewart, tall, thick-set and gray | haired, showed his joy at his ac-| quittal yesterday by giving each of the three women jurors, a hearty hug.
