Acquitted of a Serious Charge.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 24. —Ex-Congress-man George Dorsey, president of the Ponca National bank, which failed last spring, was acquitted yesterday of the charge of falsifying the books of the Institution. The ex-congressman was indicted jointly with Frank Dorsey and Ed Higgins, but the present trial of George Dorsey is against himself alone. The defendant showed that he was not responsible for the inaccuracy of the books.
