CONSPIRACY CAREFULLY . - EXPLAINED BY JUDGE Versatility Says Sum of Money in Excess Of Amount Law 'Allowed As Election Expenditure, 'WaS Used, But Grand Rapids, March 18. Twelve men today were given thCj fate of ienator Iruman ti. Newberry and 84 other Michigan political leaders, who for eight weeks have been on trial , charged with conspiracy to violate state and federal election laws, and to use the mails in a scheme to defraud contributors' to Newberry's 1918 campaign fund. . Less than an hour after the jury retired, they were excused for the night by Judge Sessions and told lnot to discuss the case again until ra 't i. 7 UVIULA IU1UUUUW IllUSIUMg. Eighty-nine different verdicts were outlined by the court in its in structions as possible findings. With only two counts left in the indict ment, the jury might return verdicts of guilty or not guilty, on either or both of the counts, as to all the de fendants. But if tlie verdict differed as Jo individuals, the judge said, it would be 1 necessary to make a return ojj each of the 85. Must Be Satisfied of Guilt. - ; "If you are satisfied that Tru man H. Newberry, at or about the time he became a candidate," said the court, "was informed that his campaign would require! the expend iture of more than the law allowed, and yet with such knbwledge be came a candidate and thereafter, by advice or conduct actively took part in the use of an unlawful sum, you will be warranted in finding that he did violate the corrupt practices act. The court said that "conspiracy" was not difficult to understand and defined it, under federal law, as be ing an agreement between two or more persons to commit an offense against the United States. He said that a common understanding was sufficient to establish a conspiracy and that neither the intent to form nor the conspiracy itself need be proven as such.' Criminal Intent Element. Criminal intent is one of the es sential elements of a conspiracy. Judge Sessions Said, but he held that the government was not bound to show that the accused men knew they were violating a law. "Unlawful acts cannot be justi fied by Innocent intent," said the court. The court said' the jury would be warranted in finding that the con spiracy existed, if they were satis fied that some of the respondents planned to procure the nomination and election of Newberry by the use of a sum in excess of $3,750, and that there was a definite under standing ' that Newberry himself should take part in the campaign and did not take part. The contradicted evidence shows that there was a very extensive'or- ganization perfected for the pur pose of procuring the election of Truman H. Newberry, the court added. It also establishes that a large sum of money, very much in excess of the amount the law permitted to be used or expended, was used and expended. Woman's Party Takes Fight on Amendment To Supreme Court " i . Washington, March 18. The na tional woman's party has carried to thesupreme court its fight against a referendum in Ohio on the nation al woman suffrage amendment. The court was asked in a brief to reverse the action of the Ohio supreme court in refusing to grant an injuncr tion against the referendum sought by George S. Hawke of Cincinnati. When the brief was prepared, 32 states had ratified the suffrage amendment of which number, it said, at least six states, including Ohio, have constitutional referendum pro visions. "The right of women to vote will vepy probably be claimed at the coming spring primaries or at the presidential election in November," the brief added. "If, when the right is claimed, there are still six states whose referendum provisions make its existence doubtful, a situation will arise in which great uncertainty will exist as to a matter of grave national importance. , The decision of this court in the case at bar is the onlysure way to prevent such a situation from arising." 3& i ' 'if .... v ffifcS.

Hitchcock as a candidate for the democratic presidential nom ination.

Mr. Bryan -has at different times charged Senator Hitchcock with misrepresenting the sentiment of his state not only on prohibition, but because he at one time an nounced his opposition to the pro posed woman suffrage amendment, which was ratified by the legislature at a recent special session.
