Acquitted Of the Charges Of Fraud
uIent Banking in 1907 After
Lengthy and Exciting
Trial.
GOVERNMENT LOST CASE
When the Verdict Was Announced
There Was Great Rejoicing
From Friends in Court
Room.

NEW YORK, May 13.-F. Augustus
Herr: was acqilt.e,. last night C the
charges of misappropriating the funds
of the Mercantile National bank while
he was president of the institution in
1907, and was cleared of the charge
of over-certifying checks of his broth
er's firm, Otto Heinze & Co., by jury
in the United States circuit court.
Thus failed ingloriously the govern
ment's attempt to hold Heinze respon-
sible for financiering during the pan
ic of three years ago, alleged to be in
violation of the national banking laws.
John B. Stanchfield, who defended
Heinze, jubilant over his acquittal,
said he regretted only the delay in
the trial which he said had cost him
over s4,000,0o0.
Arthur H. Heinze, brother of the
defendant called Prosecutor Wise a
liar in the court and was promptly
elected from the court room. When
the verdict was announced the court
room went into an uproar. The de-
fendant's friends shrieked exultantly
and gave loud hurrahs. Men and
women pressed eagerly forward and
surrounded Heinze and embraced him.
Heinze laughed Historically as he
received kisses from his women rela-
tives.
Butte Celebrates.
BUTTE, Mont, May 13.--The sup
ply of morning after restoratives was
quickly exhausted here today. Butte
had quite the liveliest headache IN
its history, following the acauittal OF
Heinze in New York. There was
general feeling that the pride OF
Butte" was in bad in the east There
were rumors that there was a plot TO
send him over the road. The town
woke up last night when the news
was received and hastily formed
procession was formed in the street
The supply of fizz-water and hard
drinks was almost exhausted, pu'
there was enough of supply left to
keep things going long after the NOR
ming haze came up over the smelter
zone The celebration will last fof
several days.
