.B|LB0 ACQU1IED
On THIRD BALLOT,
First Vote Z to 5 for Con-
viction. Court Instruc-
ton Caused Change.

Jackson, Miss, July 8.
"Not guilty" was the verdict at 4
o'clock this afternoon in the case
against Lieut.. Gov. Theodore G. Bildo,
charged with soliciting bribe in con-
nection with the proposed formation of
a new county by the legislature of 1912.
Steve Castleman, who was active in
promoting the passage of the new coun-
ty bill, testified at both trials that he
had agreed to pay the sum of $4,000 for
the support and influence of Bilbo and
Hobbs, and that he had given Hobbs
$500 of the money in Vicksburg hotel.
Hobbs, who was tried some time ago,
was also acquitted.
START CHEERING IN COURT.
There was a mild demonstration in
the nature of cheering when the ver-
dict was returned, but Judge Teat
warned the spectators to be quiet, and
they curbed their enthusiasm until
they reached the corridors of the
courthouse, when Bilbo was loudly
cheered, and taken on the shoulders of
half a dozen men to the street, where
his friends gathered around, telling
him he surely was destined to be the
next governor of Mississippi
The jury, which returned " ednes-
day night at 11:30 o'clock, spent about
sixteen hours in sleep and elaboration.
According to the jurors, one ballot was
taken before they retired, resulting in
seven for conviction and five for ac-
quittal.
THREE BALLOTS TAKEN
A second ballot was taken this morn
ing about IL o'clock and stood IL to l
for acquittal. A third ballot was taken
at 3:45, resulting in the entire panel
voting for acquittal. The jurors admit
that the sudden change in the attitude
of seven of the number was due to the
twelfth instruction for the defense,
which was, in effect, that they would
have to believe beyond reasonable
doubt that State Senator G.. A. Hobbs
and Bilbo entered into conspiracy
through and by which they mutually
agreed to solicit bribe prior to Decem-
ber 2, 1912.
Some of the members of the jury say
that, while there never was any hope
for conviction, the result would have
been mistrial, but for this instruction

Lawrence Barrett, Jr., of Katalla,
 who for the past six years has been
 developing and promoting mineral
 oil resources of the Controller Bay
 district, gives to the Northwest Min
 ing Journal an interesting account of the petroleum industry in that section. Mir Barrett is very optimis- tic regarding the oil situation in Southwestern Alaska, regardless Of conservation and the stringent money market. MT. Barrett said:
 There is no lack of confidence in the Katalla oil fields, but there is a lack of money. which defect will soon be overcome now that Congress has passed promised favorable legis- lation. Development is going on steadily. Recent tests have given the oil in our district the high eff ciency of AS per cent gasoline, and the lowest igniting temperature. of any crude oil so Tar known. In many instances, this oil in it's crude state has been used in gasoline launches in and about Controller Bay, and 1t has also assumed most impor- tant place in the domestic life Of Katalla In nearly all the houses, oil burners have been installed. totally displacing coal and wood. The people of neighboring cities are also themselves in the use of this liquid fuel. in their efforts to solve the high cost of lying. The Copper River & Northwestern Rail- way has abandoned the use of coal and is using native fuel oil exclusively to propel It's trains"
