which Juror ID. j. Smith held to his opin-
ion that the defendant should get the full
penalty of the law. Only one man stood
by Smith to the last and he has switched
several times.
When the jury first entered the room to
begin deliberations, it is said, an informal
ballot was taken and the result was 2 to S
in favor OF first degree. The next ballot
resulted in 8 to in favor OF second de-
gree. Finally the jurors, after several bal
lots decided by vote of 10 to 2 on second
degree murder, but Smith still held out
together with one man. Then they voted
II to in favor Of second degree with 90
years punishment, but Smith declared he
would never give in and so the jury were
OH the verge OF reporting a disagreement
when called by the court.
1t was the understanding among ma
jority Of the jurors that they would .give
Beckman second degree and recommend
from 10 to go years in the pcnitentiary,
but this proposition was abandoned as a
matter of compromise in the hope that
Smith would agree on something beside
hanging.

visit and entirely unofficial. The Man
churian ports were mentioned during
our conversation, but no definite ar

versation was quite cordial, courteous
and friendly, but it did not go beyond
that. / expect, however. that mu-
tually satisfactory understanding re-
gardIng Manchurian questions will
eventually be reached between the
two governments.
Regarding the Israelte petition, the
United States government already
knew that such petition would not
he received. No such petition would
be received by any independent state.
