The Terdict came on the first ballot taken by the Jury ot nine en and three women. The 73-year old multi-millionaire stood stock still staring straight ahead awaiting an nouncement of the rerdict by the Jury foreman, Chelsey H. Ray. With the words "not guilty some of the spectators who crowded the courtroom cheered. to be silenced immediately by bailiffs. Doheny stood still but tears were rushing down his wrinkled cheeks. For minutes they came, ant he did not sob. Similar Charge Beaten Previously For seven years his name had been clouded, but for the second time a Jury had held him an honest man. His first acquittal was on a charge of having eon spired with Fall for the Elk Hills lease. The former secretary of Interior was also adjudged not guilty . of that charge, but only fiTe months ago was convicted of accepting a 1100,000 bribe from Doheny. Mrs. Doheny pushed her way to the side of her hosband alter tearing the verdict today, and clasped him in her arms while she wept. After Justice William Hits had left the bench, numerous friends and relatives followed her with in the fenced enclosure. They surrounded the Dohenys as they thanked members of the Jury for their verdict. Dolteny Regrets Fall IHdn't Escape Also Some jury members wept and ne, EmoTy H. English, who walked on crutches due to the loss of his right leg, sat in his chair and cried when Doheny came over and shook his hand. Leaving the court room Doheny posed for photographers and sound pictures. "Of course I am happy," he aid.

Doheny insisted that the money was a loan to an old friend In eed and testified that it was giv en to Fall without hay thought of tnflaeaelng his official actions re gardiag the leases. Justice Hits, in his charge to the Jury, told it that the only thing they had to decide was -whether Doheny intended to bribe rail when he seat him the $10 e 00. Ha said unless they determ ined that it was Doheny's inten- -to injfJsence rail's action they must acquit aim. ' Tha trial lasted Urn days.
