VERDICT OF GUILTY
A Quick Decision in the
 Thomas Case
The Attorney not Cast Down but Con- fident Of a Rehearing and Vin- dicatiOn.

At the end of the fifth day of the trial of Bisseu Thomas for embezzle- ment the jury returned 9 verdict of guilty. The jury was brought back in to court just fourteen minutes after 1t had retired. The events of the day had created an impression that the defendant might be acquitted or that the jury might disagree. On the night before it was generally believed that there would be a conviction. but the instructions of the court yesterday morning were interpreted to be favora- ble to the defendant. There was con siderable stress laid upon reasonable doubt" and intent" There is noth- ing harder to get at than the workings of a mans mind. There is no way to get at the intent than through the ac- tions of the man. There had in this case been so many constructions placed upon the conduct of the defendant in the McDonnold case that the jury might easily have had a reasonable doubt. According to the instructions the territory had to show more than that the defendant had done wrong. It must be shown that he knew he was doing wrong.

 The arguments were opened by As sistant District. Attorney Bullard, who devoted himself to a careful review of the testimony. He occupied the great CT part of the morning session and was followed by Walter Bennett for the defense. It was the theory of MT. Ben nett that the defendant had every | reason to believe that he was given a right to spend the money as he had spent it. R. L. McDonnold was in constant communication with his 1 brother and he had told his attorneys | that he had written his brother asking him to give them a wider latitude in
