sPALD1NG ACQUITTED AGAIN.
The Chicago Banker Declared Not Guilty on Q
second EmbeHlemert Trial.


CHICAGO. H., July 16.-Former banker and
ex-Statc University Treasurer Charles Warren
Spalding scored another victory to-day in his
second trial in the Criminal Court on a charge
Of embezzling the university's funds. A jury
in Judge Dunn's court decided the prisoner not
guilty. Spalding, who had apparently looked
for a conviction, was brought into the court
room this evening to hear the verdict. He
looked worn and haggard, but his face lighted
up when he heard the words Of acquittal.
'Of course l am delighted with the verdict"
he said TO q group of reporters. II do not sea
how the jury could have found differently. The
Globe savings Bank was not insolvent at the
time 1t was thrown into the hands OF a re-
ceiver and il Is not to-day, If its affairs are
handled properly. i cannot say. whether the

secution. and not prosecution for the purpose
OF getting justice. II ! must stand trial
again | shall defend myself and will be vindi-
cAt,d.'
states Attorney McEwen said he could not
positively announce the future course of the
State in the Spalding matter. There are
twenty-seven more indictments against the
prisoner. and he presumed that another trial
would be had.
A point made by Spalding's attorneys, which
was ruled ont by the court, had a telling effect
upon the jury. 1t was that Spalding was be-
ing made n victim of politics, because he was
an appointee OF Altgeld.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, July l6.-An examina'
ton OF the records In tho office Of Secretary OF
