Bidwell Cleared In Tax Evasion Trial NEW YORK (UPD—J. Truman Bidwell, cleared of all charges in his income tax evasion trial, was ready today to resume his career as a financier. Bidwell, the former board chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, was found innocent by a federal court jury Wednesday night in his second trial aft charges of evading $55,908 in income taxes for the . years 19561957. His first trial ended in a hung jury last October. When the verdict was announced, tears began streaming down the 58-year-old Bidwell’s cheeks as he hugged his wife and « daughter. . • For Bidwell, who resigned from the board chairmanship of the New York Stock Exchage when his indictment was announced last February, the jury’s decision enables him to resume his activities as a financier with a clean slate. Bidwell took the witness stand in his own behalf during the second trial and protested that the large deductions were “normal” for a man who earned $200,000 a year. - The jury- of 11 men and one woman deliberated for three and a half hours before returning its verdict.
