In tho trial against Itoy Sales,
charged with purloining auto accs
aorlea from the stock of the A. V
walker Automomblle company while
He was an employe ot that concern,
the Jury In circuit court this morning
brought in a verdict ot not guilty
, The case went to the Jury late Tuo
day atternoon with Instructions for
tho Jury to report Its finding at the
opening of court today.
Tho verdict was no surprise to the
prosecution or any of tho persons
who attended the trial, in view of tho
non-posltlvo evidence given 'by: the
witnesses for the prosecution. The
alleged stolon goods were found In
Sales' home with sale tags still at
tached to the articles. Sales testified
that he had never seen the goods In
his home and did not know of their
presence there until after his arrest.
A. W. Walker on the witness stand
could, not Identify the property In
question as taken from his stock and
could not positively swear as to the
cost marks. Joe Wilson, now of Port
land, but who was at that time an
employe- of the Walker company, was
almost equally uncertain. ; Both he
and Walker had written out the tags,
but each could not swear positively
an to whether the property found In
Sales' home was from tho Walker
Company stock.
' The other charges' against Roy
Sales which also grew out of the un
expected return home of his wife last
summer from Eugene will be tried
next week.
immediately after the jury had re
ported In the Sales case today the
civil case of the Denny Fruit com
pany against George Woolf was" plac
ed on trial. This case was expected
to be finished this afternoon.
Thursday morning the case against
Ray Toft, the Med ford loan broker,
on the charge of selling a bottle of
whiskey to William Smith, will be
placed on trial.
