ter of a sentence on the corpora
tions would be deferred, temporarily
at least.
In the request for a new trial, it
is understood that the two corpora
tionS would be able to present to
the court the allegedly anomalous
situation in which the split verdict
leaves them, as corporations charged
with illegal acts, but with the Off
cials who had been charged with
such illegal acts acquitted. A court
case in the West involving the same
principle, where big corporation
was convicted but its officers ac-
quilted, is understood to be on ap-
peal.
The verdict was returned by the
jury of 10 men and women in
District Court last night at l1:35
o'clock, after it had been expected
that instead of bringing the trial
to a close, they would be locked up
for the night.
The jury was to have been taken
to hotel at 10 o'clock but, accord
ing to Chief Deputy United States
Marshal Michael Kearney, the jury
asked him for more time to delib-
crate. At 1924 the official notified
the jury they would be locked up at
1890 unless they reached a verdict.
1t was scarcely a minute later that
Mr.. Kearney was notified a verdict
had been reached. The jury had de-
liberated since it received the case at
11:10 am. yesterday.
Proctor Summoned From Home.
Justice James M. Proctor, who had
gone to his home for the evening,
was notified and returned to the
court to receive the jury'S verdict.
The group in the court room had
thinned to only a few, but soon in
creased rapidly as defendants, coun-
sci for both sides, and others who had
been notified to come back to the
court
The whole procedure took only a
few minutes. Justice Proctor first
declared that whatever the verdict
may be, I went it to be accepted in
silence, with no demonstration what
ever"
Samule Silverman, clerk of the
court, asked the defendants to rise.
The jury filed in and stood before
the seats where they had spent more
than eight weeks listening to testi-
nony and arguments.
The clerk then asked the jury fore
man. Joseph F. Taylor whether a
verdict had been reached, and upon
being told it had, called the roll of
all the defendants, beginning with
the corporations.
Guilty" responded the foreman
regarding the American Medical As
sociation and the District Medical
Society. To each of the names of
the 18 individual defendants the
foreman replied distinctly, mot
guilty"
Repeating the verdict back to the
jury, the clerk added: That's your
verdict, so say you all?" The jury
all nodded assent or replied in the
affirmative.
Justice Thanks Jurors.
Then Justice Proctor addressed
the jury, expressing appreciation
for their services over the past
two months. Il have noted with
greatest appreciation, he said mot
only the dignity with which you
have carried Yourselves as Jurors
but the uniform sincere and earnest
attention you have paid to the case.

as that great tenor of our race,
who for many years has been
travelling al over the world thrill
ling thousands With his wonder
ful voice. He had just been driven

day, returning tie same evening
to the home Of the Hammonds
where he has been taking a weeks
rest.
Only two other reporters from
a couple of the downtown dailieS
knew he was in town as he was
not due until the following Tuesday
when he was scheduled to appear
at the Philharmonic Grand opera
season. So / consider it fortunate
that I was tipped off by a Jewish
friend, Milton Stein, that the
famous singer would be at the
Rosslyn hotel for the day.
1 found him sitting reading the
papers in a quite corner Of the
mezzanine and although without
an opportunity to sit and chat with
him SO for tie next 80 minutes 7
had an opportunity to read and
study the real side Of the Hayes
personality. Absolutely unaffected,
quiet, even modest, deeply devoted
to his ace. and full of optimism
for its future, he was one of the
easiest celebrities to interview
have ever met.
From him I learned among other
things concerning which l lad
great curiosity that Europe, even
when he was there last in 1887,
was apprehensive of war breaking
out at any moment. Also that the
world of art and music had. already
begun to feel the depressing effect
which is now resting on its fun
weight like a smothering blanket.
In fact, Mr.. Hayes admits that he
hurried back to the United States,
cutting short his usual tour
through many countries in Elrpoe.
However, the great tenor has a
Eusy season ahead of him in this
country. He sings in Oakland on
