Tom Hall Acquitted In Record
Time By Jury-No L! Feeling

,,.~. Among the first men Hall shook
hands, with was Assistant Attorney
General Brennan, who had made so
determined an effort but a few min
utes before to convict the secretary
of state. .... ....
"Dan," said the secretary of state,
y want tS Congratulate you on your
conduct OF, this case. I feel you were
fair all the way through, and l wish
to assure YOU that there is not a bit
of bitterness in my heart against you
| come out of this trial with nothing
but friendly feelings for you, and for
everyone concerned; and I feel that
you never at any time sought to
do anything that you did not feel
dictated by your duty to the state. u
Brennan Good Loser
Brennan heartily congratulated
Hall, and proved himself good
loser. .-
Halls only statement to the press
was: "There are not words enough
to express the happiness 1 feel at this
vindication. l felt from the begin
ming that it would. come, but there
have been weeks of terrible suspense.
The beautiful thing in the whole ex-
perience has been the unexpected
friendships it has revealed. All of my
old friends have stuck by me loyalty,
and have found new friends that I
never knew I had. Now Pm going
home to Christmas and to my fam
ily."
The Jury

seven long days on this case consist

derson, j. R. Falconer, Carl Breby,
E. H. Howell, A. F. Marquette, P. W.
Thomas, Fred w. Kinsley, A. W.
Swartz, Fred Josephson, Andreas
Risen and C. N. Hendrix.

group of business and professional
men and farmers as could be as
sembled in Burleigh county. There
was not a man on the jury who is
not recognized as good citizen.
They were of all political faiths and
of all creeds.

Bismarck, Dec. Is. - The finest
Christmas present in all North Da-
kota was delivered to Thomas Hall,
secretary of state, at 1925 this morn
ing when Burleigh county district
court Jury after celebrating just 10
minutes found the defendant not gull
ty of embezzling $3,400 Of the states
automobile registration funds. u. n
The verdict was greeted with pro-
longed cheering, and handclappinig
from scores of prominent friends of
the secretary Of state, who in spite Of
the lateness of the hour at which the
jury had retired were waiting to
hear the verdict.
Coffey Still in Chambers
Judge Coffey had not left his
chambers. George W. Thorpe, of
Jamestown, of counsel for the de-
fense, had just left for his hotel and
Assistant Attorney General Daniel
V. Brennan and Mrs. Brennan, who
had spent her Christmas eve in the
court room, an interested listener to
her husbands brilliant addresses to
the Jury, had left w. H. Stutsman,
chief Of counsel for Hall, was still in
the building.
Telephone calls soon brought coun-
sci back to the court room, and the
tired, sleepy jurors, who yet seemed
not so tired, nor so sleepy, as when
they left the box, filed into their
places.
Delivery of Verdict
There was a deathlike silence as
Bailiff Cook received the verdict from
the foreman of the jury and delivered
it to Charles Fisher, clerk of court.
Everyone leaned forward eagerly to
catch every word as the clerk read
and when he came to the words mot
guilty" there was an audible sigh of
relief. Then the hand-clapping broke
loose.
Compliments Jury
Judge Coffey briefly complimented
the jury for the intelligent attention
which it had paid to every phase OF
the long trial, the lengthiest and
probably the most important in the
annals of Burleigh county. He
thanked them. for the courtesy shown
court and counsel and after advising
jurors residing out of town that they
need not report again this week, ne
wished the jurymen Merry Christ
mas and dismissed them.
Mrs. Hall Advised
Someone rushed to the telephone
and called up the Hall residence and
gave the silent little watcher there
the good news. Friends surged to the
rail and fought for an opportunity
! to reach Hall and shake his hand.
