James G. Clark, charged with conspiracy in alterir.g the eĆ­ection returns of Wayne county on the salaries amendment. was found guilty at Detroit. The jury had been out 25 hours and the defendant had begun to feel that the long discussion meant either his acquittal or a disagreement and the announcement of a verdict of guilty carne like a thunderclap. Clark was a memb.'r of the footings committee, with George Hussey and W. H. Green, Jr., all of whom were charged with altering the returns relative to the increase of salaries of state officials. At an examination before the prosecuting attorney Clark had eonfessed. but at his trial denied the charge and fought hard against conviction. Bussey is the next to be tried.
