I, The verdict of the jury in the case
of the State VS.. f. w. Reynolds, in
dicted for embezzling funds of the
Guarantee Loan and Trust Company,
was handed into the Criminal Court at
about ten minutes after four o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
1t was that the defendant was guilty
of embezzling an item of $500, which
made his offense a simple misdemean-
or, punishable by a Jail sentence.
When Court opened yesterday morn
ing Mt. Coniff resumed his address to
the jury, and spoke until nearly eleven
O'Clock. He reviewed the case for the
STATE in a mastery manner, and his
speech was one which did him entire
credit When he had concluded the
instructions of the Court to the jury
were read, and the jury retired. When
the hour for the noon recess arrived
there had been no agreement, and the
twelve men were sent to their hotel
for dinner. At two o'clock they re-
sumed consideration of the case, and
put in two additional hours in endeav-
oring to reach conclusion. At four
O'Clock an agreement was reached, and
ten minutes later the result was known
in official form.
Counsel for the defense were de-
lighted, in that there was not con-
viction for felony, but all the same
they consistently believed their client
should have been discharged, and made
a motion for new trial, consideration
of hwich was postponed until to-mor-
row.
After Court adjourned reporter for
the Register interviewed a member of
the jury. He said that virtually but
one ballot was taken upon the general
question of the guilt or innocence of the
accused, and the jury stood seven for
acquital to five for guilty. The re-
mainder of the session was devoted to
endedVOrS TO reacl an agreement De-
tween the majority and the minority.
1t was finally decided that there should
be a verdict of guilty of a misdemean
Or, as a compromise, and to reach this
end an item of 1920, charged in
counts two and three of the indictment,
was taken, and the verdict was brought
in upon that. There was a report that
the verdict had been reached by TAX
ing the item of $230.40, known as the
Lowenthal item, and dividing it by
twelve, which produced $500, but the
juryman said this was untrue.
While the defendant is technically
found guilty Of embezzlement, the YER
dict returned is virtually one of not
guilty, taking into consolidation the
charge brought against him and the
extraordinary effort, extending over
two long trials, to secure a conviction.
1t is the general expectation that the
sentence to be imposed will be purely
a nominal one, and that Reynolds will
soon be at liberty.
