HARRY |. SPEAKER
 CONVICTED AFTER
 HARD LEGAL FIGHT
Was Charged With Embez- clement From Wood Lum- Der Company-BrOther
 of Harry Is Acquitted

Guilty"
 This was the verdict brought in late yesterday afternoon by the Jury in the Harry |. Speaker embezzlement case after e4 hours of deliberation. Immediately following the verdict, which was delivered to Judge William E. Fort amid crowded courtroom, a bailiff took charge of Speaker. and it was announced that sentence would be passed on the convicted man tomorrow, In the meanwhile Speaker is q pris- oner in the county jail
 Elias Speaker. a brother who was Indicted on the same charge as his brother, was acquitted by the jury.
 According to gossip at the court house. 1t is stated that the jury from the first stood II to l in favor of con Niction of the two but that after 24 hours of deliberation verdict was ar rived at In which Elias, the younger brother, was acquitted while Harry was convicted
 The fight of the prosecution was chiefly directed against Harry, and, In fact. to the general public it was not known that his brother was lmpll- cated.
 The Speaker embezzlement case Is one of the oldest indictments on the docket. It concerns the embezzlement of about $2500 worth of lumber from the w. D. Wood Lumber company sev- eral years ago while Harry Speak CT was acting as general manager of the firm and his brother as bookkeeper.
 tt.i, h l. ago last Monday but as the counsel for the defense objected to Judge liar rington P. Heflin as the trial judge on the grounds that he was the solicitor when the indictment was drawn up this necessitated a postponement until the following Wednesday, when more technfea1ities brought another delay of one day. Last Thursday morning the Speaker .rial finally was started. Sin mott and Aird appeared for the defense while the prosecution was directed by Walter s. Brewer, assistant to the so- licitor. and C. r. Beddow, who repre- sented the w. D. Wood Lumber com pany
 The first day of the trial developed a legal tangle on which 1t Is thought an appeal to the supreme court of the state will be based It was that the indictment charged an embezzlement from the W. n. Wood Lumber company, body corporate. This, the attorneys for the defense aver, Is incorrect, owing to a defect In the incorporation papers of the w. D. Wood Lumber company. 1t is not a body corporate In the legal sense but simply firm do- Ing business under that name.
 Several days of bitter legal fighting followed and late Wednesday after noon the case went to the jury. The case from the start was a brilliant legal duel between J. B. Ard for the defense and Walter S. Brewer and C. r. Beddow for the prosecution.
 The penalty for embezzlement is from one to ten years In the peniten- tiary.
