MAY FOUND GUILTY
DAVENPORT BANKER LOST HIS
CASE With GOVERNMENT.
After "a Hours Of Delberation the
Jury in Federal Court Returned a
Verdict Against Accused-PenaIty
Is Five to Ten Years in Penitentiary
ASKED for New Trial.

Spokane. Feb. 12.-Charles c. May,
president of the defunct Big Bend
bank of Davenport, who has been on
trial for wrecking that institution, was
found guilty by jury in the federal
court. The verdict was arrived at af-
ter "a hours elaboration and was
handed to the court at noon. Convic-
ton was made on the fourth, fifth,
sixth and seventh counts of the indict-
ment returned by the January federal
grand jury.
The minimum penalty is five years
in the penitentiary, the maximum be-
ing 10 years.
Mays attorneys will argue for new
trial and, failing in this, they announce
that an appeal will be taken to the
supreme court.
At noon the jury announced it had
reached verdict. The attorneys and
the court attendants, who had waited
for hours, quickly gathered. May sat
behind his attorneys, Charles S. and
Reese voorhees,. He appeared as stole
al as during the long days of the trial.
He scanned the faces of the jurymen,
but they were as unresponsive as so
many sphinxes.
An expectant hush fell upon the
courtroom as the verdict was handed
to Judge Whitson. He read it quickly
and handed it to Clerk Nash, who
voiced the fateful words.
Immediately after the reading of the
verdict Judge Whitson remanded the
defendant to the custody of the United
States marshal. AS May left the court
room the weight of many years seem
ed to have suddenly fallen upon him.
Judge Whitson has a new bond,
pending an appeal, approved.
The verdict of guilty was a great
surprise to nearly every one. A dis
agreement was what the majority of
those who followed the trial looked
for, and verdict of acquittal was the
hope of many.
