CurIeyG Found Guilty

(Continued from Page D
 The clerk of the court first tn- uuired as to the verdict with respect to Fuller. The only movement was in the row of reporters. They tailed the counts as the clerk read, "count one-guilty; count tw0-guilty," on down through the l4 counts.
 Next the clerk asked for report on Smith. Proctor had already granted a directed verdict of acqlit- tai on the first eight mail fraud counts leaving only five remaining against him, plus the conspiracy count.
 The foreman read count nine not guilty" Then he continued count ll--guilty," and guilty" for all the remaining counts.
 Acquitted on Four
 Curley's turn came last. His face hardly changed expression as the clerk intoned, count one-guilty." The jury acquitted him on four mail fraud counts. These involved correspondence mailed after his res- ignation as president of Engineers Group on Dec. %, 1941. The foreman had hardly finished before the attorneys were on their feet demanding that each juror be boiled individually. Proctor agreed. The jury members took their seats. One by one the other eight men and three women rose and stated the verdict for each of the three defendants.
 Proctor found discrepancies in the statements of three. He said he would have to send them all back to the jury room to compose their differences.
 Objects to Conversation
 After 45 minutes the jury returned and the three jurors re-stated their verdicts. As they did so. T. Emmett Mckenzie, Fuller's attorney, ob- jected to conversation between the fury foreman and a woman juror besides him. Mckenzie moved for . mistrial.
 Proctor objected to the interrup- ton.
 T am conducting this examina- ton and not counsel" he said.
 The motion was not granted.
 The long, tedious trial began last Nov. 27 after delays of more than two years. The first indictment of Engineers' Group officers vas handed down in September, 1928, but was set aside on a legal tech- nically. A new grand jury probe was then authorized by former At torney General Francis Riddle. In January, ie44, the indictment under which the trial has proceeded vas returned.
 Two Missing fer Trial
 The indictment named seven de- fendants. One of them, Marshall !. Fitzgerald of Chicago and Washing ton, former secretary of Engineers Group died before the ease came to trial. David E. Desmond, Boston, salesman for the group, was severed from the case because he was Ai

when the trial started.
 The opening date first was de- layed because William A. Gallagher, attorney for Smith, was participat- ing in the mass seditlon trial here. Last spring there were more post ponements due to Curley'S illness. Later 1t again was set ahead so Curley could campaign for mayor of Boston.
 Two other defendants were granted directed verdicts by the court after the government rested its case. They were James Barton Underwood, Washington, and Bert Hall, Dallas and Tulsa. Underwood was president of Engineers Group for a time and Hall was vice-presi- dent.

TRIP TO PETERSBURG By Collie Carlson

One never appreciates home until he goes away from it, or at least, that is the way Wrangeu High students felt when they returned 10 our little city from Petersburg.
 Wrangell lost both the games with the score of 54-2S in the first game and 35-24 in the second game Since it was the first game away from the home floor, perhaps. we can feel justified in saying the scores were not bad.
 Comments given by impartial spectators in Petersburg were to the effect that Wrangell's team was a credit to the town.
 Petersburg High students were very hospitable. They gave a dance Saturday after the game which lasted until midnight. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and had a very enjoyable time. Delicious refreshments were served at the dance.
 Boats which made the trip were: the Anne, Christine H. Tiny Boy II ARB 6, Howard B Mary Lou, Sey- en Brothers, Enos. Edrie and the Alasco which carried our mighty team.

CHICAGO Bing Crosby and the Kraft Foods Company, his radio sponsor, have patched up their diff ferences and Bing returned to the Kraft Music Hall last night for the first time in many weeks.
 The lawsuit started by Kraft in New York on January 3 has been withdrawn.
 Frank Morgan and Eddie Duchm appear with Crosby on the national network program.
 Bing is starting work on new motion picture in the near future and will be on location part of the time during the next few months, which will make it necessary for him to be absent from the Thurs day broadcasts occasionally. Need less to say" John H. Platt, vice president of Kraft said, i've are most happy to have Bing back on the Music Hall program. know the radio fans will welcome him as heartily as we do and We can prom ise them that the Music Hall will continue to be tops in entertain ment as it has been for the past 12 years"

Greetings;
 We didn't go to Petersburg gang. so don't expect too much.
 You'll have to be satisfied with secondhand information.
 One of those two 'loyal' soph girls did herself proud Friday night in Petersburg. But what else could she do? Our boys had to get their rest, didn't they?
 The other sophomore girl was loyal though = and she has a sore throat to prove it.
 The Christine II was a busy boat Saturday night. They must have had fun singing"
 We no longer have a lone wolf in the Junior class.
 Navy week seems to have left a dent in one of our fast moving sophomore girls. She turned in ear ly both nights in Petersburg
 A certain freshman boy certainly kept the blonde waitress in the 'Pastime" busy.
 It seems that there were only two girls of our Junior class who have read the book on How To Get Your Man"
 Three senior girls stayed home Oh, well, they are pretty young in Petersburg.

GAMBLING MIDDLE COURSE

Sounding here and sounding
there and sometimes dropping
the lead on shallow spots and
sometimes dropping the lead In
great depths, it appears now that
the course which is going to be
followed about liquor and gambl-
ing will be the middle course. AL
though at first there were threats,
about complete wipeout of these
groups, these as all Thought
were merely threats and not real
action. 1t seems that the major
ity of persons wish these two
forms of entertainment and they
will be available again. However
one important point is that things
will be cleaned up a great deal.
II is something which should
have been done a long time ago.
The sailor boys complain when
the main street is composed of
just bars more bars per block
than in many cities, the local
people who wish to take a drink
don't feel too much like frequent
ing bars which are noisy and
roisterous and which allow over
drinking and young kids to be
present.

Can you or I call the Grand
Jury when we feel that we have
been the victims of circumstance
or can any lawyer call the Grand
Jury or must it be a judge. l do
not know and l would like to
have a public answer because
these men are paid from taxes
received into the Golfers of Mon

pocket. Why all the about Rev.

not the Circuit Judge see to it
that the charges brought by the
