"the day commenc with the argu- | ment of Special Prosetutor Francis J. in behalf of the Government. s noon when Heney had finished his address. At 2 o'clock Judge Bel- linger delivered his charge, which con- | sumed but ten minutes. In his instruc- |tions to the jury, Judge Bellinger asked for the acquittal of Miss Marie Ware, who the prosecution admitted |on Saturday was not sufficiently im- plicated in the nresent case to warrant | her conviction. ~As the jury retired to | deliberate the court announced a re- cess until such time as a decision | should be reached. | At 10 minutes to 3 the jury filed back |into the room and the bailiff handed | the verdict to the court, who passed it to the clerk. The verdict follows: t “We, the jury, find the defendants, Emma - L. Watson, S. A. D. Puter, Horace G. McKinley, D. W. Tarpley and Frank H. Wolgamot, guilty of the | crime of conspiracy to defraud the | Government out of a part of its public lands, situated in township 11 south,of range 7 east. as charged. We find the defendant, Marie L. Ware, not guilty.” Attorney Hall asked that the defen- dants be placed under additional bonds in this case, but the court decided that a bond of $4000 in the present case would be ample, and therefore ordered | that such security be given. This will | place the defendants each under $4000 | bonds for each of the thee cases, with [ the excetion of Tarpley and Wolga- { mot, who do not figure in the suc- ceeding cares. There is mo doubt that an appeal will be taken.
