SENATOR B0RAH ACQUITTED
Verdict Of Not Guilty in Idaho
Land Fraud Case.

Boise, Ida, OCT. United States
Senator William E. Borah has been
acquitted of the charge of conspiracy
to defraud the government out Of val.
liable Idaho timber lands.
The case was submitted without
argument on the part of the defense
and the jury was out just long enough
to take one ballot. The verdict was
greeted with cheers.
AS soon as the news reached the
outside bells were rung and the fire
department made spectacular run
through the principal streets. A brass
band appeared and when the senator
reached his hotel the musicians
played Hail to the Chief"
The streets about the hotel were
blocked by cheering throng, where
shouts mingled in the strain of the
FIRE engine whistles and clangs of
trolley car bells. Senator Rorah
thanked his hearers for their demon
stration and the confidence they had
reposed in him throughout the trial.
James Hawley, counsel for the de-
tense, declared the indictment and
trial on the flimsy evidence brought
before the jury was "the most damn
able outrage and iniquity ever perpe-
trated In the guise Of Justice"
