Gabell, director-clerk of he 'defunct North Pcnn Bank, was r,unf guilty on six indictments charg iig him with ncceptlng deposits when te knew the bnnk wns insolvent aud n a seventh Indictment charging con B,)lracy to accept deposits, by a "jury n Quarter Sessions Court this after oon, shortly beforo 4 o'clock. The jury was out only three-quarters of an hour.

Gabell manifested no emotion when the verdict wns delivered. The jury reached its conclusion so quickly that Assistant District Attor ney Taulane, who prosecuted tho case, had to bo sought in another part of City Hall, so that he might be in court when tho verdict wns read. Daniel J. Shorn, attorney for Gabell, asked that tho jury be polled and then moved for a new trial. Ho said if n new trial were denied he would certainly carry nn appeal to the higher courts, as the points invohed In Gabcl 's cabe, he said, ure very im portant. Bail for Gnbell in the sura of $10, 000 was renewed. What sentence will be Imposed eu Gnbell by Judge Martin, who heard the case, is conjectural. On each or the seven indictments the maximum sen tence is three years, making twenty -one years if the director-clerk were given tho maximum sentence. But it is be lieved his sentence will be much shorter, probably between two nnd five years. Of the principal figures in the looting of the North Penu Bauk, Gabell is the most recent to come up for trinl. Ralph Moyer, cashier, was convicted mjc months ago. but hns never been sen tenced.
