Denver. Col., November 29.?Gertrude
Gibson Patterson, accused of tho mur?
der of her husband, Charles A. Patter?
son, whom she shot to death while
they were walking together In a
suburb on September 25, to-day was
declared not guilty by a Jury In the
District Court. /.
As the clerk finished reading the
verdict. Mrs. lJattereon sprang to her
feet und caught the outstretched hand
of her attorney. From outside the
courtroom came a roar of cheers; but
inside the room the crowd was quiet.
But, as court adjourned and Mrs. Pat?
terson stepped forward to thank the
Jurors, the crowd overwhelmed her
with congratulations. Her efforts to
reach the Jurors were vain. Loiter
lour of the Jurors called on her as she
was making ready to leave the Jail.
? The spuce between the courtroom
and lAe Jail was packed with a cheer?
ing crowd. On the arm of her attorney
Mrs. Patterson struggled through tne
throng, wntle men tried to snaae her
hand and women strove to kiss her.
Behind her, waving both hands, went
her father, shouting hi? Joy. Close
behind him followed the mother and
sister, both In tears.
Cheers Prom Prisoners.
As Mra. Patterson stepped from the
Jail rotunda, gay with Thanksgiving
decorations, the 150 prisoners guv? her
a round of cheers.
At no time In the deliberations of
the Jury were there more than two
votes for conviction. Pour ballots
were taken. The first resulted In ten
for acquittal and two for conviction
of murder In the llrel- degree. This
.bjillpt._AvaA takejt JasA- nijjht after tjm
jury; which retired at 9:45 P. M.. hud
mado its preliminary survey of the
c. UK-nce After that tballot the Jury
went to bed.
The second ballot was tuken soon
after the Jury returned from break?
fast, resulting as the first- An hour's
discussion followed, and the third bal?
lot stood 11 to 1 for acquittal. /
The fourth ballot was unanimous for
acquittal.
Because of the funeral of Judge
Bliss, all courts had adjourned. Word
was sent to Judge Allen at the ceme?
tery, but it was two hours before he
reached the court room.
The verdict hung, it Is declared, on
Mrs. Patterson's trip to Europe with
another man after she had married
Patterson. Whethet this trip was taken
with her husband's 'knowledge and
consent, after he had received $1,500
from the man with whom she went, as
she contonded, or whether she had
withheld from Patterson the true na?
ture of tho trip, as the State contend?
ed, was the subject. It is said, with
which most of tho Jurors' discussion
dealt.
The Jurors accepted Mrs. Patterson's
story of tho shooting that she had
fired after her husband had knocked
her to the ground.
Spends Itcntlens Night.
Mrs. Patterson spent a restless night
while the Juror8 voted. From her cell
windows she could look across at tho
Jury room/ and as long na the lights
were burning she kept her eyos /ixcd
,on -che spot where twelve men were
deciding her fate.
This morning her composure re?
turned. She sat calmly in her cell,
talking with members of her family
and a few nowpaper men, but only In
the most Indirect way spoke of what
might be In store for her.
As tho Jurors passed by the jail to
breakfast, Mrs. Patterson pressed her
face against the window and ex?
claimed: "O, you dear men. If you
would only look up." ,
As the hours dragged on her confi?
dence Increased, but' she confided to
the matron: "My knees are so weak
that I don't believe 1 could walk over
to tho court room."
She found strength, though, when
she was called to court to hear the
verdlot that sot her free, and she was'
guy and strong thereafter.
May Go on Stage.
To-night Mrs. Patterson said she had
no plans for the immediate future.
Sho said she would not go Into vnude
vllle. "as that would be cheapening
and degrading,'' but she thought a part
In a first-class theatrical company
might tempt her,
Mrs. Mary K. Patterson, mother of
the slain man. listened to the read?
ing' of tho verdict in silence. As she
left the court room she put her hands
to her ears to shut out , tho cheers of
Che crowd.
"I did not come for revenge, but to
see Justice done," she declared, "but
this brand of justice Is a disgrace td
Denver. I shall lenve this place to?
night." ,
??It's a travesty Qn justice," satd Spe?

GARY AN ADVOCATE
OF BIG BUSINESS
Declares That Great Cor?
porations Are Essen?
tial to Development.
"DISTURBANCES"
COME TOO OFTEN
He Would Have Judges Ap?
pointed for Life and Presi?
dents Elected for Eight
Years Without Privilege
of Second Term?Case
of Too Much Politics.
Washington, November 29.?rcibcrt
H. Oary, executive head of the United
States Steel Corporation, made a idea
for "big business- to-day buforo the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com?
merce, which Is searching for a solu?
tion of the present trust problem In
tho United States.
Big- corporations are essential to
the development of tho country and
the maintenance of business pros?
perity, ho said. To prevent their mis?
using the enormous power that comes
with wealth and control of industrial
agencies, he thought the government
should take control of them, through
a corporation or trade commission
with absolute power to regulate their
affairs. Add to this a clear law as
to what can and what cannot be done;
the strong light of publicity on all
;*!ie affairs of corporations, and the
elimination of presidential and other
political Issues from the business
wprld, and the "unrest" tnat has
spread over the United States will
largely disappear, said Mr. Gary.
Business Already II I star bed.
The coming election Is already dis?
turbing business, he added. He sa'd
members of the courts ought to bo
appointed for life; that tho President
ougiit to bo elected for eight years
without the privilege of ? e-olection, so
.that ,1C would Ibo In a "position and
frame of mind" where he would not be
tempted to "look In any direction or
toward any interests" In seeking re?
election.
Mr. Gory dwelt at length upon the
political situation. He said he had no
particular President In mind; but that
he believed fewer elections and less
reason for seeking public or private
support for political purposes would
aid greatly In keeping business at a
level.
Judge Gary recommended tho Fed?
eral license of corporations, their con
>trol..by a Undo, commission. . the pub?
licity of all their affairs, and- the
sanction of certain acts which the
commission might consider not to be
"restraint of trade."
He declared unrestricted competi?
tion meant the ruin of the small In?
dividual or concern, and the gradual
strengthening of the natural monopoly
of the larger. As opposed to this he
urged thnt the government recognize
the need . of partial agreements be?
tween corporations and Individuals, so
that an actual competition might be )
still maintained that would be fair and
free to all Interests.
"Is there any particular thing now
clearly forbidden by the Sherman law
that you think ought to be permitted?"
asked Senator Cummins.
Cnn'l Define "Ilcstralnt."
Sir. Gary thought not; but he said
the lousiness difficulty lay In deciding
beforehand what amounted to a - "re?
straint of trade." The famous "Gary
dinners," where Steel men gathered to
discuss their affairs, were not to fix
prices, but to disclose their business
condition to each other, ho said.
"Every gentleman there, If he was
a gentleman, could go away with a
full knowledgo of his competitors' af?
fairs, and could shape his business so
as not to ruin his competitor," satd
Mr. Gary.
He added 'that ho had not dared to
hold these conferences lately; that
thoro was no means of knowing exact
lv what constituted a violation of the
S*herinan law.
"Congress should test tho right of
the Supreme Court to interpret and
virtually make tho laws," said Pro?
fessor John H. Gray, of the Univer?
sity of Minnesota, who followed Mr.
Gary before, the Sennto committee. "Wo
have apparently come to a point whore
the national legislature is nbout to
be abolished. The courts aro inter?
preting the law, and the one who In?
terprets the law is actually tho one
who makes it."
