A jury iu tlie liitrict of Columbia supreme court uceepied his conten tion that when he paid Albert B. Fail .$2.43,000 in liberty bonds and $35,000 in cash, it was for a part in the ranch owned by the former secretary of the interior and was not a part of a deal through which the Wyoming naval oil leserve was turned over to him. The jury took the case from Jus tice Bailey at 10:25 o'clock this morning and returned its verdict at 12:24 p. m.t being out exactly one hour and fifty nine minutes. Immediately after the verdict was rendered Sinclair authoi ized this statement: "I have felt since the in ception of the oil cases thatI would be acquitted of any charge of con spiracy ' to defraud the government when the evidence went before n jury."
