A twelve man jury in Red Oak found Tom Dennison not guilty of going to Missouri Valley and digging up the Pollack diamonds after a 2 1/2 hour deliberation with five ballots. The verdict cleared him on receiving and concealing stolen property, while the robbery charge remained to be tried. Jurors believed diamonds were likely given to him in Omaha, not dug up by him. Foreman George T. Cooper noted three jurors favored conviction but proof beyond a reasonable doubt was lacking. Dennison’s bond on the second indictment may be reduced from 16000 to 2500. he has 10000 on deposit to secure his sureties.
