Filipino Attorney
Freed by Jury on
Numbers Charqe
Judge Warns Against
Demonstration Before
Verdict Is Returned

After celebrating three hours, a
District Court jury last night ac-
quilted Juan R. Quijano, Filipino
attorney, of a charge of conspiring
to violate the numbers law.
The trial lasted three days and as
a result of the somewhat hectic ma
ture of the proceedings, Justice
James M. Proctor cautioned those
present in the courtroom before the
jury returned its verdict.
I'm view of the fact that some
feeling has been shown on both
sides in this trial." the jurist
warned, Il must ask all present to
refrain from any demonstration
whatsoever, regardless of the ver-
dict"
Friends Shake His Hand.
There was no demonstration, al
though friends of the attorney
rushed to shake his hand after he
had been cleared of the charge.
Before the case was given to the
jury at 1925 pm, Defense Attorney
E. Russell Kelly argued that no real
proof of guilt had been shown by
the Government. He said the Gov
ernment witnesses had been dis
credited" and that Mr.. Quijano's life
as successful lawyer and business
man was in itself refutation of the
charges made against him.
Assistant United States Attorney
William S. Tarver had described the
defendant as a lawyer with a good
reputation who had been prompted
by avarice to stray from legitimate
practice. He insisted the prosecu-
ton had proved Mr.. Quijano's house
in East Riverdale, Md, was used as
a base of operations for the numbers
racket.
Harris Is Charged.
Not long after Mr.. Quijano's &C
quittal, Sidney Harris, a principal
Government witness in the case, was
charged with violating a section of
the criminal code making it unlaw-
full for a Government witness to
offer to change his testimony or
leave town for consideration from
defendant.
At Harris arraignment in Police
Court today, Assistant United States
Attorney Tarver, Mr.. Quijano, 1t.
j. w. Shimon and Detective w. G..
Fawsett testified Harris went to
Quijano's apartment and agreed to
leave the city and not testify If
Quijano would pay him 5000.
Judge Walter j. Casey ordered
Harris held for grand jury action
under $1,000 bond. The defendant
is charged under section 24O, title
18, Of the United States code which
makes it felony for a prospective
witness to attempt to extort money
from a defendant he is to testify
against. Maximum penalty for the
offense is $4,000 fine or two years
Imprisonment. or both.
Mr.. Quijano said today he prob
ably will continue to practice "and
repair the damages" done by the
trial, but eventually he plans to re-
turn to his home in the Philippines.
