day.
The case was given to the jury by
Judge Clarence w. Sessions, OF the
United States district court here,
shortly after p. m. yesterday.
Many exceptions to the judges IN
structions were taken by attorneys
for the defense. They objected to
the Judges statement that If Senator
Newberry had knowledge that the
campaign would cost in excess OF the
amount. allowed by law and then en-
tered into the campaign and assisted
in it's conduct, he should be found
guilty
The judge warned the jury not to
allow their political feelings to enter
into their consideration OF the case:
He declared that in order to find
any defendant. guilty, the evidence
must show that he had guilty knowf-
edge of the alleged conspiracy.
Because of the large number OF de-
PENDANTS and the great mass OF testl'
mony to be considered, verdict was
not expected by court attaches until
probably late Saturday.

EXPEDITION TO RESCUE

The bandits are former soldiers.
They are mutineers. They demand
reinstatement-not money. They have
signified that they will hold Metcalf
until the Chinese government re-
instates them in the army without
loss Of standing.
DR.. Osgood, Smith and Thornton
have not embarked upon a foolhardy
mission. They already have demon
strated their ability in the role Of
rescuers. Only recently they re-
turned from similar mission with
A. L. Shelton, whom they rescued
