victed on Two Counts.
DISAGREEMENT OVER ATTEAUX
Were Fifteen Counts for Jury's
Consideration.

Discredit Strikers.

Boston, June 7.-After celebrating

President William NJ. Wood, of the
American Woolen company, Of the
| charge of conspiracy to inJure the tex

dynamite. A disagreement in the case
of Frederick Atteaux was reported.
Dennis j. Collins, who turned states ev-
idence. was found guilty on two counts
and not guilty on the other four counts
of the Indictment.
Under the instructions of the court
the jury was obliged to pass on the
guilt or innocence of the defendants on
each of five separate counts in the in
dictment, this virtually amounting to
Is separate verdicts. Wood, Atteaux
and Collins were indicted for alleged
conspiracy to plant dynamite at Law
renee to discredit the textile strikers
during the industrial troubles of 1912.
The first count charged conspir-
acy to injure the textile strikers and
the second count conspiracy to injure
unknown persons. The other counts
alleged conspiracy against certain
persons and plot to damage prop
erty- The case, one of the most sem
sational that has grown out of q dis
pute between capital and labor, was
given to the jury at noon yesterday.
The jurors began their deliberations
at 3 O'Clock and when they had failed
to report at midnight they were locked
up for tho night. Court convened at
$50 this morning and the Jury came
in at 10 o'clock.
The foreman reported that Collins was
guilty on the first two counts; that
Wood was acquitted and that the Jury
had been unable to agree in the case

disposition of his case. When the YER
dict was announced, Attorney Henry F.
Hurlburt, counsel for Wood, asked the
court to direct an investigation of the
published statement that an attempt
had been made to influence Morris Shu-
man, one of the jurors. Before the
court made its charge yesterday Shu-
man was questioned by Judge Crosby,
District Attorney ]. c. Pelletier and
counsel for the defense, regarding a
statement which he was said to have
made recently to the district attorney
This was to the effect that a man,
unnamed, had intimated to him that
he might have a business position for
life and $500 in cash if he voted
right" Upon assuring the court
that he would not be influenced by the
alleged attempt at bribery, Shuman
was permitted to continue in the box.
Attorney Hurlburt said he wished
the matter cleared up promptly in JUS
tice to all concerned.
Judge Crosby stated that an inquiry
would be begun before him next We'd
nesday and he instructed all the
jurors to be present.
Later Mr.. Wood gave out a state
ment in which he said
"I am grateful for the verdict in
my behalf. / had no reason however,
to assume that it would be otherwise.

legged conspiracy nor did have any

WILL NOT DELAY
President and Secretary Con-
slider Japanese RejOinder.
Japs Present KnOtty Questions
for Their Solution.

Washington. June Secretary
Bryan returned from Pittsburg early
today and prepared to take up with
Counselor Moore, Japan's latest note
on the California alien land question
submitted TO him personally by Wis
count Chinda Wednesday. So far
there has only been the most cursor y
examination of the note. In the verbal
exchanges between the secretary and
Ambassador Chinda and between the
a ambassador and President Wilson, the
state department has been to some ex-
tent prepared for the newest points
made by the Toxic foreign office. But
relating to the Fourteenth amendment
and the fine distinctions sought to be
drawn between the relative functions
of the national and state government,
the rejoinder must be most carefully
analyzed before any serious effort can
be made to draft a reply.
The administration, however, has no
disposition to lay itself open to the
charge of procrastination, so Secretary
Bryan and President Wilson will almost
Immediately devote themselves to the
preparation of a legal argument to
cover the Japanese rejoinder as far as
that may be done.
Except for the possible adverse effect
upon general relations between the
United States and Japan which might
follow a refusal by the senate to sane
ton a renewal of the special arbitra-
ton treaty which expires in August,
yesterdays proceedings in the executive
session of the senate are not likely di-
rectly to affect the present negotiations.
