United States District Judge
Royce H. Savage today directed
acquittals for Nolen Bulloch.
Cliff Wells and Bernard Neil
Williams. three of 20 defendants
accused of breaking Federal
liquor laws.
Mr.. Bulloch is the Tulsa Tri-
Dunes ace crime reporter. Mr..
Wells is professional bonds
man. and Williams was one of
seven bootleggerS accused.
The defendants were indicted
on charges they conspired to
bring liquor into legally dry Ok
lahoma and sell it without pay
ing special taxes. The prosecu-
ton sought to show they had
police protection and paid for it.
Defense attorneys entered mo-
tons for acquittal of all de-
6fendants after United States
Attorney B. Hayden Crawford
rested his case yesterday after
six days of testimony.
Mr.. Crawford had called Mr..
Bulloeh the conductor of nine
year conspiracy named corrup-I

always present to extract a
sum Of money" from those who
joined the alleged plot.
Judge, Savage said yesterday
there wasn't adequate proof of
q conspiracy before April IL

missioner Jay L. Jones, another
defendant, was elected to his
Office.
Mr.. Jones' suspended police

Principal testimony against
Mr.. Bulloch was given by an
erstwhile woman whisky hauler,
q former bootlegger, and two
persons who said Mr.. Bulloch
got 10 per cent Of money paid
by vice elements for a police

There is hearsay evidence
that Bulloch was to share in

"but he was not present. That
evidence is inadmissible and is
to be considered by the jury.
