Jury Trying Case of Notorious Chicago Gunman Brings In Verdict After DeIib- erating But About Three Hours.
Four Ballots Only Are Taken-Prison Term. unofficially Reported, to Be Announced to Judge Later in Day.

Chicago, July 10 GD - Martin ]. Durhn, sheik automobile thief and gunman, is guilty of murdering Ed. win c. Shanahan, federal agent. Thirty-hve years in prison is ths penalty recommended by the jury to be announced to Judge Niilles later.
 The youthful outlaw, who fled ta California and back with ons sweetheart, later to return and marry another girl. was found to have shot the officer while the lat- ter was attempting his arrest for automobile theft.
 The state had pleaded for s hanging verdict while the defense contended Durkin shot in self-de. fense.
 Durkin Disappointed
 Although Durkin did not change expression, he uttered a half sup- pressed exclamation when the sen- tence was read.
 Later, he was sulky but still flip- pant. "Oh, boloney" he said when approached by photographers. II was tried for everything but mur- der. It's fine state of affairs when a man can't use & revolver to pro- tect himself"
 He insisted he had not had a fair trial.
 DurlIin expressed a dread of pris- on life. They should have hanged me, instead" he told questioners when asked what he thought of S5 wears behind thu bars.
 Motion for new trial will be heard July 17 when sentence will be passed formally. The state expressed itself as we'll satisfied with the verdict under the circumstances. Jurors said that the fact that Shanahan was a federal agent weighed heavily with them in their decision.
 Mrs. Hattie Durkin. the boys mother, and his sisters, Lucille, 17. and Ann, If were stunned by the verdict and they sobbed on the benches where they had slept all might The father was not in court. i Jury Out Three Hours
 Durkin was found guilty by jury of the murder here last October of Edwin Shanahan, a federal agent.
 The jury took a trifle more than three hours to weigh the evidence in the month long trial and reach an agreement on conviction, holding that Durkin turned murderer when he shot and killed the government man who sought to arrest him as an automobile thief. Durkin's plea was self defense. that he had shot the federal opera tive because he believed him bandit Jeopardizing the two thou sand dollars of admittedly bootleg profits which the youth carried at the time.

TWO YEARS IN JAIL,
 CANNOT LOCATE HOME
Unable to Deport Alien as Native Town in Poland
 Is Not Known

Hartford, July 10 P,-Somewhere in what is now known as Poland is @ town Peter kopcenzslI once call ed home. Today in the Hartford county Jail Peter celebrated the second anniversary of his commit ment to that institution pending the efforts of the federal government to locate that place he once called home that he might be deported as all undesirable alien.
 July 10, 1924. Peter was released from the state prison at Wetherstield where he served three years for bur glary at Bridgeport. Immediately on his release he was rearrested for the federal authorities and placed in the Hartford county jail, pending deportation. Weeks passed, then months, and today the second year of his detention in the jail was rounded out. Last year, Attorney $. Polk Waskowitz of Hartford, inter- esting himself in Peters behalf, had him produced in the federal court on writ of haheas corpus, but tho court declined to order his release because it was found that several stories kopcenzsll had told relative to his former homs could not be varided. Since then another year has passed and Peter still waits.
 The federal authorities have mo- tified Attorney Waskowitz that something is to be done soon in the matter, one way or the other, and today Peter, cognizant of the pass ing years while waiting for the fed eral red tape to unravel, sent for his attorney to find out just what course that something may take. Thus far Peter has served three years Imprisonment for burglary. and two years because he originally came from Poland, as Poland de- clines to receive him back.

Leader of Mutincers May Be
 Protest Against Shortage of Bed
 Sheets In Cell House.
 Lansing Mich, July 10 P,-Jeer- ing at offers of arbitration, 732 Kan sas state prison convlcts early today refused to leave the 7So foot level of the penitentiary coal mine in which they yesterday locked them- selves and fourteen guards.
 Warden w. II. Mackie said he be- lieyed the self-imposed imprison- ment was part of a protest over a shortage Of bed sheets in prison cell houses. Only recently the prisoners staged a demonstration to stress their demands for sheets, he said, shouting and rattling cell doors for the greater part of a night. The shortage of bedding, Warden Mackie declared, was due to lack Of funds in the last appropriation by the state Legislature.
 Prisoners Seize Cage
 Entering the mine as usual yes torday morning, the convict miners went about their tasks until 10:S0 a. m.. when the cage was lowered with food for the shaft crew. As the cage reached the 73O foot drift, 1t was communicated by a group of prison ers. Large timbers were showed through the cage framework making lit impossible to raise it.
 Surface guards immediately at tempted to enter the mine but the cage blocked their way The pris- oners refused to send q committee to the shaft to consider "terms," ap- parently fearing repetition Of a ruse used to Quell similar mutiny in I1915. At ths time. conference was agreed on, but prison officials low cred armed guards and the mutt Eneers were oyerpowered. Fear for Guards Sa1ctF
 Fear for the safety of the guards caused Warden Mackis to proceed with caution in attempting to e1- tricate the convicts. He planned to make no effort to bring them out until later this morning, believing ! that hunger may cause them tc ] e,,,ropder F,ven if armed men did ! gain entrance to the drift, the 1 guards probably would be used aS

 Frank Norris. convicted of mur. i der at Leavenworth, Kansas, was Q leader in the cell house demonstra

 Although the mutineers have Q supply Of dynamite, there are nc caps in the workings, the detona- tors being kept on the surface and ' issued as needed
