JURY FINDS
LAWSON GUILTY
J. Frank Ball, Counsel for
the professor" Files Mo
tiOn for New Trial
JURYDELIBERATED AN HOUR

After a trial lasting two and one
half days, a jury in General Sessions
Court this afternoon convicted George
Herman Lawson on a charge OF prac-
ticing medicine in this State without
a license. J.. Frank Ball, counsel for
Lawson, Immediately filed a motion for
a new trial, pending which, sentence
win be withheld. The jury reached its
verdict after one hours deliberation.
The case went TO the jury az
1912 o'clock. this afternoon. The entire
morning session of court was devoted
TO argument before the jury, both sides
having closed yesterday afternoon.
Each side was allowed one hour for
argument, and the time was employed
to the best advantage by both Deputy
Attorney General Hastings, who con-
Quoted a most vigorous prosecution Of
Lawson. as well as by J. Frank BAH.
who ably defended the accused PRO
fessor." Mr.. Hastings arraignment Of
the professor was severe. He de-
clared that the State had established
its case against Lawson. and asked for
a verdict Of guilty. Mr. Ball. on the
other hand, argued That the State had
not shown that Lawson had practiced
medicine within the meaning of the
statute. He pleaded for a verdict Of
not guilty.
In concluding the courts charge to
the jury, Chief Justice Lore said:
Gentlemen of the jury, II the de-
fendant is innocent. 1t is your duty to
acquit him; II he Is guilty, II is your
duty to convict him. The laws Of our
State are designed to protect the COM
munity, and especially that portion of
It which by reason Of sickness and dis
ease is peculiarly subject to imposi-
ton"
Then the Jury retired.
