of the charge OF conspiracy 10 extort

pOstOfiice department The verdict of
not guilty" was received by the crowd
with demonstrations that could not be
suppressed by the court officers. AS
soon as court was adjourned and Judge
Albert C.. Thompson had retired pam
demonium broke loose among the jol-
lifying friends of the defendants from
Indiana and others, and continued for
some time. Miller and Johns and At
tOrneys Hiram d. RulisOn and Charles
w. Baker and others were overwhelmed
with congratulations.
The present trial began last Monday
morning. The jury retired shortly be-
fore 3 o'clock this afternoon and rem
dered its verdict after celebrating six
hours. It is understood that a MAORI
ty was for acQuittal from the start, and
that II took some time to go over all
in, evidence before q unanimous verdict
was reached. 1t is generally under
stood that there was doubt as to Mill
ler's connection with the transactions
between Johns and Ryan. The govern
ment officials state that this case was
not like any Of the other postal cases
that are pending. as this case simply
dealt with the action of Miller when he
was an assistant attorney general in
