ACCUSED LAWYER
 NOT OUT OF WOODS
The District Attorney An nounced That Trial Would Proceed in the Indictment Charging the Bribery of Juror Robert Bain

LOS ANGELES, Aug 17.-Freed on a charge of jury bribery on record time today. Clarence Darrow faces the certainty of still another trial on @ similar charge sometime soon. A few hours after the jury announced it's verdict today acquitting him of the indictment charging the bribery of prospective Juror Lockwood, in the McNamara trial, District Attorney Fredericks announced that he would be called to the bar to answer to an allegation that he bribed Robert Bain, the first juror sworn to try James McNamara. the confessed dynamiter. He will appear before Judge Hutton on Monday afternoon and have the date of this second trial set.
 Darrow received the declaration of the prosecutor that he is not yet free with a smile, and after refusing to discuss the situation. rapidly scanned through the hundreds of cOngratula- tory telegrams that poured in from all parts of the country. T am too happy to feel alarm at anything" he said
 The court scene following the rem dering of the verdict of not guilty just 34 minutes after the jury had re- tired. was unparalleled in the court history of the county. The jurors whose phlegmatic cOuntenances gave no hint of the feelings throughout the three months trial, embraced the man they had just freed and vindi Oated. the tears coursing their cheeks as they declared it was the happiest day of their lives.
 The court officials, including Judge Hutton. joined in the congratulations and Mrs Darrow, to whom the trial was an amending strain, stood speech ! lessly happy. one hand clasping her l husbands, with the other wringing those of the jurors.
 Only Prosecutor F'redericks showed any chagrin. and he displayed dis appointment and bitterness as he com mented on tn verdict We simply could not overcome the damnable at mosphere the counsel for the other i side was able to create in the court ! room" he said. As long as the court 1 allowed them to do it, we were help | less"
 i For two hours after the verdict had | been recorded, the court was in the midst of turmoil. Breaking all res l traint, the dense thrOng of eager au- | ditors broke over the rail in front of l the judges bench, and surged upon l the erstWhile defendant with hands | Outstretched to shake his. Half a dozen jurors forgetting their long inn prisonment and absence from their ! homes, remained to participate in the i inprOmptu reception. Stopped at eV- l cry step by pedestrians who wanted to shake hands, it required nearly | half an hour for Darrow to walk two | blocks from the hall of records, on
 his way to lunch at a quiet little cafe Darrow's attorneys expressed in credulity when informed that there
 would be d trial on the Bain indict- Iment. They pointed out that all the ievidence in the Bain case had beer

 tredericks declared that the Bail
 case was stronger than the Lockwood
 case but notwithstanding that state
 ment the attorneys of the accused law yer pointed out that it was a mucl weaker case, chiefly because ther'
 was no connection shown in the tes

 and DarrOW. It was further statet
 that there was a wide divergence il
