Of COURSE he was acquitted! These non-believers got grease drippings on his white trousers!
As early as the 1930s and 40s, some practitioners of alternative lifestyles adopted many of the outward trappings that would be associated with the counter culture in the 1960s, and often blended right in when the 1960s did arrive.

For a more encouraging example, check out Gypsy Boots, who opened what was probably L.A.'s first health food store around the turn of the 1960s. eden abhez, an associate of his, wrote "Nature Boy", a remarkable jazz-pop hit reminiscent of Bacharach, and covered by a host of music luminaries including Nat Cole, Sinatra, Grace Slick, Miles Davis, and Lady Gaga to name just a few.
