said Big Donald somewhat
sternly, "for have reason to
trust this young lady's judgment. How
ever, as a mere military precaution l
must ask for your weapons
An instant hesitated, feeling that
now he had come my pledge to Miss
Denslow had been fulfilled; that any
opportunity to escape was justly mine.
This giant might be able to crush me
in his arms, yet with weapons in our
hands we stood on even ground, and
was tempted to fight II, out then and
there. He read the temptation in my
eyes, his lips smiling, his hand extend
ed for my revolvers. What fine look
ing fellow he was, his face representa-
tive Of character, strong, manly, his
entire bearing Indicative Of force and
cool, resourceful courage. The light
of the lamp revealed his clearly CHS
eled features and the threads of gray
in his hair. Suddenly, in fash. there
came to me a strange thought-here
was a man to be loved, to be loved of
woman. "Dear JEAN" he had called
her-"dear JEAN" Tho words seemed
to burn me as 1 recalled them. He
seemed the older. twenty years or
more. But what of that?
Hesitating still saw her leaning for
ward, eagerly watching our faces, puz-
zled by our attitude. Her hand touch
cd his sleeve, the light of the lamp
glimmering in her hair, hef eyes full of
pleading. My mouth hardened, the
grip yof my fingers on the revolver butt
tighbening. 1t seemed to me T under
stood. 1t was Donald. hot Calvert
Dunn, who stood between us.

ROOSEvELT'S
 STRONG APPEAL
 FOR PLATFORM
Tn Speech at Revere Beach He Couples Taft With
 LoriIner

Revere Beach, Mass, Aug. 17.-1n a speech on social and industrial jus- tice, Colonel Roosevelt. today, refer red to Woodrow Wilson as having re- ferred to the Democratic platform in such guarded phrases as to convey the. impression of neither repudiating nor supporting it. He coupled Pres idene Taft with Loriner and discuss ed the progressive attitude toward the judiciary. In a vigorous appeal for support for the progressive platform, he said, in part:
 ''On the platform on which I stand make the same appeal of serious and sober purpose to the women as to the men and 1 come to this state and ask you in the name of Massa- chusetts' past to place the Massachu- setts of today on the side of those who, today, battle for all that is high est and best in our national life.
 "In making my speech here in Massachusetts in behalf of the pro- gressive party, I wish to emphasize the fact that we are absolutely clear from affiliations with either of the old parties, that we regard both the old party machines as hopelessly cor rupt and incompetent and that we appeal to the rank and file of both
 
 us for good citizenship in the spirit of true Americans
 '"To steal a nomination or to steal an election is even worse than to steal a purse, for it is theft of the peoples rights, it is a theft from the people as a whole.
 Two years ago. the fight against Mir. Lorimer was started by great Chicago newspaper and was continued by certain private individuals. And we who then took part in that fight did so at a time when the average American citizen thought it would come to nothing. In recent contests in the Republican primaries we ham mered it into the heads of the polite ians that the people were against Lorimer and Lorimerisn, and then the very men who had been seking to profit by Lorimer's support so long as they believed he would be useful, turned against him.
 ''It is a bad thing to win Senator ship by such methods as MT. Lorimer employed, but it is not one whit worse than to steal a nomination Tor the Presidency by such methods as were employed by the bosses who con- trolled the Republicac convention In Chicago, last June
 Certain of your New England sen ators, I regret to say, took the lead both in conducting the campaign For the defense of MT. Loriner and in putting through the steal of the Re- publican nomination at Chicago. Whatever else is to be said against these Senators, at least their actions in those respects were consistent.
 When Senator Crane, Senator Ala rich, Senator Penrose, Senator Gug- genheim, Senator Gallinger, Senator Dillingham; and their associates to- gether with Senator Bailey, Senator Johnson and their associates on the Democratic side stood by Senator LoriTner and Senator Lorimer's right to sit in the Senate, they were doing precisely what Messrs. Penrose, Crane, Guggenheinl. Gallinger and their rep-

DARROW FOUND NOT GUILTY OF BRIBERY BY JURY AFTER
 BRIEF DELIbERATION TODAY
Most Dramatic Scene In Court When Foreman An nounces Verdict Mrs Darrow In Mysteries and Her Husband on Point of Collapse When He Hears Welcome News

Los Angeles, Aug. 17.-Clarence Darrow is innocent of the charge of bribing jurors in the McNamara mur- der case.
 This was the verdict returned at $50 a. m., (Coast tine), today, by the jury which, for two months, has been hearing evidence in the case be- fore Judge Hutton, of the superior court. It took the jury only S2 min utes to decide upon the verdict.
 AS soon as the foreman read the verdict. Judge Hutton discharged Dar- row and released his bail.
 The scene when the verdict was re- turned was the most dramatic. After listening to the judges charge, which lasted an hour. the jury retired at SIS a. m. At 9;50. just g minutes later, the jury rang it's bell ealing the bailiff
 down the room chewing a lead pencil nervously, stopped short in his walk as Judge Hutton mounted to the bench. A moment later. the jury entered the box, led by M. R. Wil~ Hams, foreman. Mrs. Darrow who had been hysterical since the jury went out, trembled like a leaf as the court waced Williams.
 Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?" we have, Your Honor" replied the foreman.
 You may read it.'' said the ccurt. There was a tense delay while the court waited for Clerk Smith and Dis trict Attoreny Fredericks to arrive.
 T waive the polling of the jury" Darrow finally said.
 Not guilty" Williams imme ateis announced.
 Cheers and wild applause broke out in the courtroom and down the cor riders of the hall of records went the news. Mrs. DarroW sobbed with joy, embraced her husband, who merely sighed deeply and looked around the room.
 Clerk Smith arrived at this moment and Judge Hutton said
 "Mr. Smith. as you are here, you may poll the jury" Clerk Smith did So and received the verdict, saying:
 "Gentlemen of the jury, is tbis your verdict?" "It is,'' said the F men in chorus.
 Friends of Dacrnw immediately crowded around to congratulate hn The strain over, many of those in the room burst into tears as they snooK the acquitted mans hands.
 Darrow was plainly nervous when he entered the courtroom, today, 10 face the greatest crisis of his life. Judge Hutton mounted the bench at 8:15 and the roll of the jury was called The court immediately began ding the charge.
 The judge urged the 12 men not to be swayed by personal opinions ex- pressed by the attorneys for both sides unless such opinions, were sup ported by the evidence. He said the defendant is charged with. jury brib- ing and that he was guilty must be proved beyond a reasona ble doubt be-

re he could be convicted.

fore he could be convicted.
 After explaining reasonable doubt the court resumed:
 If you find the defendant bribed ruptly influence a juror, you must find him guilty. You cannot convict on the testimony of acconplices un- less such testimony is corroborated by outside evidence.
 T charge you that the evidence rant conviction on the first count in this indictment. If you find that, through an agent. the defendant ap- preached George Lockwood and gave him $500 for the purpose of influ- encing his decision in the McNamara case, 1t will be your duty to find him guilty of attempting to corruptly in
 f1uence d juror as charged in the sec- ond count. fe
 "If you find witnesses testified who
 are accomplices but whose testimony is not corroborated it is your impera-
 tive duty to find the defendant not
 guilty. If you are uncertain whether or not witness is an accomplace, you must resolve the doubt in favor of the defendant.
 The court instructs the jury that,
 in eases depending upon circumstan- tial evidence, the defendant shall not
 be found guilty no matter how strong the circumstances, if there is room for the belief that some other party did the act. If you find that there was no motive for the commission of a crime, the defendant is entitled to a verdict of not guilty.
 Evidence, of admissions and con- fessions should be received with great caution. The defendant has shown that his character for truth, honesty and integrity is good. The defendant is not on trial for bribing Robert Po iyo Ei i've Diskleman, or giving Guy Biddinger
 money. but solely on the charge of corrupting George Lockwood" Judge Hutton continued: | You must not suffer yourselves to
 be led to convict the defendant Ay the fear that the crime of bribery will go unavenged. The burden rests upon the prosecution of establishing every element of the charge against the defendant to a moral quantity ant1 beyond reasonable doubt
 Judge Hutton concluded at 9:17 o'clock. As the jury filed out of the courtroom, the court handed Jury | man Reitterman the verdict blanks There was not a sound in the court room as the jurymen filed out except | the sobbing of Mrs. Darrow who broke down and wept hysterically. Judge Hutton placed Darrow in the custody of his attorney, Earl Rogers. The defendant, with his hands in his pockets began to pace nervously up and down the room after the jury | had been out a few moments. He | frequently slipped glass of water
 Mrs. Darrow, after partially recover ing her composure, sank into a chair and hysterically cried and laughed by
 turns. After the jury went out, Judge Hutton and the attorneys for the state l left the courtroom and the defendant and his counsel took up the burden l of waiting for the verdict.
