PAUL GEIDEL is CONVICTED

in Second Degree.
ESCAPES THE ELECTRIC CHAIR
Maximum Penalty is imprisonment
for Life--Geidel KILLED Aged
Broker In Hotel while
Trying 60 Rob Him.


NEW YORK sep,. 1.-Tne jury in the
case OF Paul Geidel the 17-year-old bell
boy charged with the murder OF William
II. jackson at the Iroquois hotel on July
26, today returned a verdict OF murder in
the second degree. The jury had been
locked up all night.
That the Jurors were discussing verdict
OF guilty less than first-degree murder was
made evident last night when they came
into court after having delberated six
hours and asked instructions regarding the
different degrees Of murder. The report at
the court house before court convened this
morning was that three of the men had
hold out for verdict of murder in the
first degree, while the others were divided
in their opinion between a judgment OF
acquittal and guilty in some less degree.
BY the verdict Of the jury Geidel escapes
the electric chair, but will be sentenced
for a long term in either Sing Sing or Au-
burn prison.
Escapes Electric Chair.
Motions were deferred by Judge Grain
until next Tuesday, when sentence prob
ably will be pronounced. verdict of sec
ond degree murder provides for imprison-
ment of term of twenty years to a maxi
mum OF Imprisonment for life.
When Geidel was brought into court TO
learn his fate he was pale. Tears welled
into his eyes and rolled down his face
when he heard the verdict, and he clenched
his hands in an effort to control himself.
None Of his relatives was in court. The
prisoner had nothing to say after the YER
dict was pronounced and he was quickly
led away 70 the Tombs prison.
