SEATTLE, June 5 James Bruce
alleged Industrial Worker ot the
World, was found' by a jury here to
day not guilty of the charge of crim
inal anarchy. The charge was placed
against Bruco as a Jesuit ot his
activity during the general Btrlke
horo In February.
Soveral score ot I. W. W, members
who were in tne- court room ex
pressed great delight and showered
Bruce . with congratulations -when
the Jury announced Its verdict.
, In his ' instructions to the jury
yesterday, Suporlor Judge Walter M.
French, in whose court Bruce was
tried,-defined criminal anarchists as
men following the doctrine advocat
ing the ovorthrow ot organized gov
ernment. ' ; ' '''
Judge French told the jury mem
bers they had a right to find Bruce
guilty li .they believed him to be a
member of, the 1. W. W. and it they
found, that the organization's doc
trines were anarchistic. When the
jury retired It took with it a mass
of I. w; W. literature, which was In
troduced during ' the trial as evl
dence." ;
The prosecution based its conten
tion- on a supreme court decision
which was said to rule that mem

looked upon seriouslv in American
circles nt the peace conference, it is
said. It is pointed out that no prom-,

in some doubt as to the spontnnitv
of the demnnd for a republic. Dis
patches from German sources de-'
clare that French authorities have
