As Jury Reports
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

HOLLYWOOD, Fe b. 6.
(UP)-N inc conscientious
housewives acquitted Enrol
Flynn of statutory rape
charges today and left him free
to resume his place as one of Hol-
lywoods reigning movie stars.
There were three men on the
jury, too, but they didn't count
The ladies, all comfortably married,
went into a huddle and considered
all the intimate medical testimony
concerning the physical condition
of Betty Hansen, II, and Peggy
Satterlee, l6, after their evenings
with Flynn.
And we decided" said Mrs. Ruby
Anderson. the foreman, that Mr..
Finn could not possibly have harm
ed these girls. Then we told the
men, delicately of course, and they
agreed with u.s."
FLYNN MOBBED
That was that, and the jubilant
Flynn struggled from the court
house, like a reluctant Pied Piper,
with a swarm of his feminine ad-
mirers clutching at his pin-striped
coat tails, tugging on his lapels and
fighting among themselves for the
privilege of touching them.
Thank God" said Flynn, "fol

now can call myself an American
Am I glad!!'
The hero of score of million
dollar movies, none SO exciting OF
as nerve wracking as his own month

to take a long rest, probably il
