of corruptly influencing George
N. Lockwood, a Juror in the trial
of J. It. Mi A aiiinrit at 9:53
o'clock this morning. The Jury
was out Just 27 minutes.
Judge Mutton immediately de
clared Darrow discharged und
his bail releancd.
At 9:50 the jury rang for tlie
bailiff. Darrow chewed a pencil,
his wife, trembling like a leur,
holding her handkerchief to her
mouth.
M. R. Williams was foreman
of the Jury.
"Gentlemen of the Jury, have
you agreed on a verdict?" asked
Judge Hutton.
"We have, your honor, 1 replied
the foreman.
"You may read it."
There was a tense delay while
the court waited for Clerk Smith
and District Attorney FredericKs
to arrive.
"I waive the polling of the
Jury," said Darrow.
"Not guilty,' read Foreman
Williams.
Cheers and applause broke out
in the room. Down the corri
dors flew the news.
Mrs. Darrow embraced her hus
band, who merely sighed deeply
and looked aroun the room.
"Mr. Clerk, as you are here,
you may poll the Jury," said
Judge Hutton.
Clerk Smith did so, and read
the verdict.
"Gentlemen of the Jury, Is this
your vprdict?" asked the clerk.
"It is," aald the 12 men in
cho'iis.
The verdict was: "We, the
people of the state of California,
find the defendant in this action
i.ot guilty." '
Friends of Darro wcrowded
to congratulate him. The strain
over, many in the court room
t)ii ret into tears.
A spectator sitting near Darrow
tried to yell and was forced back
Into his seat by the bailiff.
Crowding around the Jurors,
the spectators, Including women,
nttampted to kiss them.
Assistant District Attorney
Ford, who was representing the
district attorney's office, left the
room immediately after the ver
dict was returned.
Anton Johannsen, the San
Francisco labor leader, unable to
contain himself, after the court
v.-as adjourned, whooped at the
top of bis lungs.
"Oh, I can't talk, I can't talk,"
sobbed Mrs. Darrow.
"I am too happy. I know it,"
she Bald, tears falling down her
cheeka.
For some time after the verdict
Darrow appeared unable to com
prehend what had happened.
Then he smiled and started shak
ing hands with scores of friends
who sunged around him.
When Juror O. M. Dunbar
grasped Darrow's hand, he slap-

CONGRESSMAN WARBUKTON
The biggest Jolt of all received'
by the standpatters today, how
ever, Is the formal announcement
of Congressman Warburton ma<3<>
in congress that he will join the
new party and be a candidate Tor
ii-<lci (ion as a progressive under
the progressive banner. Warbur
ti.ii is no won his way to Tacoina
to assist the progressives in or
ganizing their forces.
He is passing through Ohio to
day and a telegram to his sec
retary, Burns Poe, states that lie
will leave Chicago tomorrow
night. He ought to get here
Tuesday. Warburton has been
one of the most loyal progres
sives in Washington.
Wilburn Fairchild, candidate
for state senator against Arvid
Rydstrur.i in the 28th district,
pulled off the republican ticket
today and will ask for the pro
gressive nomination. This leaves
Dank I GUkey only against Ry<3-
Elrum.
Fairchild has issued a platform
demanding good roads built uy
btate convicts, minimum wage for
women, and other progressive
measures.
The "come-outers" are Increas
ing daily. At the present rate
there will be little left of the re
publican ticket but standpatters
by September 10. Dlx Rowland,
candidate for representative in
the 3th, Jesse Read In the 37th
aud M. O. Herber In the 33th all
have pulled their names off tne
O. O. P. ballot.

In spite of the fact that he gave

the life of his wife, Frederick A.

mourning her loss, today from

The conference of progressive • lenders ■ from all parts of the
Mate tiring held In Seattle this afternoon' Is expected, to put the
l.isi nail In the coffin of the old standpat party and to remove tlie
la.-i lingering excuse for any progressive to refuse to Join the new
party. ■. ' ' ■£-■<"
A score of progressive candidates, Including W. 11. Kauffman,
leading candidate for commissioner of public lands, have announced
their, intention to join the now party junt nit soon as the confereers
huve formally ill.-. 1 the organization this afternoon. €$11P§I
The hope of the standpats that
some of the eastern counties
would refuse to Join the new par
ty is fast vanishing. A telegram
received from O. C. Moore, Poln
dexter'g former partner, says ttie
Spokane progressives have nearly
completed their organization. An
other message received by the
Times announces the withdrawal
from the old party of N. W. Dur
ham, leading progressive candi
date for congress In that district.
At the progressive party head
quarters in rooms 111 and 112
of tlie Butler Hotel, there has
been a constant stream of visitors
from other counties. Nearly every
comity is Bending representatives
to get first hand information and
pointers.
Georgo Venerable Smith, form
er city attorney of Seattle, now
living In Port Angeles, repudiat
ed the republican party and will
probably become a candidate ror
attorney general on the progres
sive ticket. C. N. Hunt of North
Yakima sent a telegram to Sena
dor Dlxon, Roosevelt's campaign
manager, asking that the colonel
stop over for a brief speech at
Yakima on his way to Seattle to
address the progressive party con
vention on September 10, as it Is
planned.
Besides the numerous with
drawals, a keen, lively interest
has been aroused in the new fil
ings that are to be made In the
progressive party between August
19 and 24.
Following the endorsement of
the progresitive party mil itt to
day's conference, every leading
progressive is expected to with
draw from the standpat party im
mediately. These will probably in
clude the following: \V. C. Me-
Master, for lieutenant governor;
John F. Dore, for attorney gen
eral; W. H. Kaufman, for land
commissioner; JoHephine PraHton,
for state school ouperinteiideiit;
