Short jury deliberation results in conviction for Mutscher
recounted testimony from one of
their colleagues, Rep. Charles
Patterson of Taylor. ‘
“There is one thing that places
him head and shoulders above
these three defendants,” he de
clared. “He doesn’t have his
hand out.”
Prosecutors pointed to evidence
showing that the defendants
bought and sold National Bank
ers Life stock the same days at
artificially inflated prices.
Jaquet said the defendants
“walked away with” $180,000 in
cash and stock two days after
the bills were passed.
Alleging that Sharp engineered
the sale of the stock at $5.25 a
share above market value, Ja
quet said, “Now that’s a good
deal.”
And, he argued, “there is no
other evidence in this case ex
cept that they all acted together
... I really don’t know what the
defense of this case is.”
Paynter, in a more extensive
plea to the jury, called Mutscher
a “protege of Frank Sharp” and
added, “it is amazing to me how
men of money can manipulate
people.”
Paynter also dwelled at length
on Mutscher aide F. C. Schulte,
who profited from Sharp’s loan-
stock deals but was not named
as a co-conspirator.
He quoted Schulte as testifying
that McGinty told him that NBL
stock was selling for $20 a share
although the market price was
$14.75.
“How did McGinty know that?”
Paynter asked the jury.
“It sounds like he had a pipe
line in from somewhere/' the
prosecutor added.
Paynter also dismissed as im-

material defense arguments that
the legislation sought by Sharp
was “good” legislation.
“It’s just as bad for a legisla
tor to sell his vote, his power or
his influence to pass good legis
lation as bad legislation,” he
declared.
“It’s just as much a crime to
accept a bribe for doing some
thing right as for doing some
thing wrong,” he said.
