~ the Associated Press,

HARRISONBURG, Va, March 90
A United States District Court jury
this afternoon returned a verdict of
guilty against DR.. Walter D. Myers,
Winchester dentist, and acquitted
William E. Cooper banker-grocer, on
the fifth day of their joint trial on
charges of conspiracy to violate
internal revenue laws.
Judge John Paul denied a defense
motion that the verdict be set aside
and said he will sentence DR.. Myers
Monday, when five other defendants
who pleaded guilty will also be SEN
fenced. They are Andrew and Rufus
Hawkins, Otis L. Bennett, Loring
Clowser and Walker G. Hovermale.
In denying the defense motion,
Judge Paul said it was almost i'm
possible to believe all the liquor opera
tions allegedly on DR.. Myers farm In
the past five years were carried on
without his knowledge and approval.
Judge Paul said the persons who
pleaded guilty and testified against
Dr. Myers were not men of bad
character, excepting that they vio-
lated the prohibition law, and that
they had no motive or desire to irnp,i-
cate DR.. Myers unless he was guilty.
