Attorney for Head of Woolen Trust
Insists Charge Tbat Juror Was
Approached Be Investi
gated Publicly.
BOSTON. June 7. The Jury In the
"dynamite conspiracy" cases, after deliberating-
all night, today acquitted
William ML Wood, president of the
American Woolen Company; iound Den
nis J. Collins, the Informer, grullty on
two counts, and (disagreed as to the
guilt of Frederick E. Atteaux, the dye
manufacturer. The two counts on
which Collins was convicted charged
conbplracy to injure the textile strik
ers and conspiracy to Injure unknown
persons. The other counts alleged con
spiracy against certain persons and a
plot to damage property.
The court ordered that ball for At
teaux be renewed pending disposition
of his case.
Mr. Wood Immediately after the trial
gave out a statement in which he said:
"I am profoundly grateful for the
verdict which the Jury has rendered In
my behalf in the so-called dynamite
case. 1 was not conscious of any guilt
In connection with the alleged con
spiracy, because I was in no way Im
plicated In It, nor did I have any knowl
edge of It."
Attorney Demand Inquiry.
Immediately when the verdict was
announced, Attorney Henry K. Hurl
burt. counsel for Wood, asked the court
to direct an investigation of the pub
lished statement that an attempt had
bven made to Influence Morris Shu
nian. one of the Jurors. Before the
court made its charge yesterday Shu
man was questioned by Juuge John C
Crosby, District Attorney Pelletler and
counsel for the defense regarding a
statement which he was said to have
made recently to the District Attor
ney. This was to the effect that a man.
unnamed, had intimated to him that
h miRhl have a business position for
life and $200 In-cash if he voted "right."
Thi Inquiry will begin next Wednesday.
In asking for the Investigation Mr.
Ifuriburt said:
"The newspapers of Boston have been
filled with the statement that a Juror
was approached. While the name of
the attorney to whom It was
said this Juror was to go to get $200
was not mentioned, it was generally
known through rumors circulated about
the court that the attorney was my
self. "I am an officer of this court. The
charge of attempting to bribe a Juror
1s of the gravest character. If any
officer of this court or any attorney
Is implicated It la due to such persons
that a proper and thorough investiga
tion be made. The Jurors are here and
1 ask that they be kept while those
charges iye publicly Investigated. I
am Informed that the grand Jury Is
making an investigation, but the grand
Jury inquiry is secret and I move that
this court hold an Immediate public
investigation of these charges In open
court."
Prosecutor Gives Annenl.
District Attorney Pelletler said that
be Indorsed everything that -dr. Hurl
burt had said. He declared that he
did not .believe that either Mr. Hurl
burt or his client. Mr. Wood, had even
the slightest connection with the mat
ter. Judge Crosby stated that the usual
method. of investigating such cases was
through the grand Jury. He saw no
objection to a public hearing.
In dismissing the Jurors the court
congratulated them on their ability to
find the verdicts" returned and said they
were entitled to the thanks of the
county.
After the adjournment of court Wood
was su: rounded by a crowd of friends,
who expressed their delight at his ac
quittal. His co-defendant, Collins, was
the first to offer congratulations. At
teauT, while showing plainly his dis
appointment at the Jurv's failure to
acquit him. expressed satisfaction over
the outcome of Wood's case.
Collins' case Is still open, but the
fact that he was not called for sen
tence lends color to the report that by
giving evidence for the prosecution he
lias earned a suspension of sentence.
The prosecutor would not predict re
garding another trial for Atteaux.
