DENIED LODGING
JURY GETS BUSY
Attorney Henry L. Corson Found
Not Guilty After Further
DeIiberatiOn

OAKLAND, Feb. 12.-Refusing to
lock up a jury for the night when the
request was made at 80 o'clock this
morning. Judge Thomas Lennon of
Marin county sent the jury back for
further elaboration. A verdict of not
guilty was returned against Henry l..
Corson. an attorney at law, within an
hour. The jury went out at 6 o'clock.
Corson was implicated in a tangle be-
tween gipsies and Arabians and Bar
barry coast saloon keeper. Clara Bano-
vich, young girl, was said to have
been attacked, and $500 was given to
her mother in Corsons office to have
the girl taken away to head off prose-
cution.
Conflict Of testimony by the parties,
all of whom were called to appear
against Corson. weakened the prosecu-
ton and resulted in the acquittal of
Corson. Lee Banovich, brother of the
girl, and Mary Stanley, her mother,
nave been sentenced to term in the
county Jail following their conviction.
AT 1870 this morning the jury came in
and asked to be sent to a hotel for the
night. Two of the jurors said there
was some hope of a verdict being
reached, and Judge Lennon ordered
them to retire again. The first ballot
taken stood eight to four for conviction,
but at 2:30 o'clock the acquittal was an
nounced. Corson was advised by Judge
Lennon to keep clear of such clients in
the future.

But said the president, Japan is
a powerful nation and we don't know
what attitude her statesmen will as
sumo toward US. If the difficulty were
with England 1 would have a hundred
years of precedent to guide my nation.
Nor would the kaiser strike us in the

deavor to negotiate a treaty with Japan
