one 10 II months in a "common
jail
Immediately after the jury report
ed its decision, George B. Hoover,
associate defense counsel, entered a
motion for a new trial and secured
an extension of Sinclair bond.
While refusing to comment on the
verdict, Sinclair s attorneys said ev-
cry legal means would be employed
to prevent the oil man from going
to jail. They may appeal to the

there to the United States supreme
