four Minutes.
[By Associa ted Press.l

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 1.-THE

not guilty.
Judge Hutton. in his charge to the
IDarrow jury, eliminated the first
count in the indictment that Attorney
Darrow had bribed George NJ. Lock
wood, a regularly drawn juror. Judge
Hutton said the evidence did not
justify verdict of guilty on the first
count.
The second codnt charged Attorney
Darrow with attempting corruptly tc
influence man about to be drawn as
juror. The court also instructed the
jury that verdict of guilty could not
be found on uncorroborated evidence
of accomplices. III you have no evi-
dence independent OF the testimony
of accomplices," Judge Hutton said,
you must find the defendant not
guilty Admissions to accomplices by
defendant should not be regarded as
corroboratiye. The testimony of a
feigned accomplice, however, does not
require confederation.
These instructions applied to the
Lockwood jury. The jury was out just
thirty-four minutes.

len Academy for the coming session.
