CHICAGO. July 1N.--While Martin

Imposed by, q jury which found him
guilty of murder for the killing Of
Edwin q. Shanahan, Federal agent,
assistant states attorneys moved to
put the youth again in jeopardy Of

Of death by hanging.
Penalty Caused Argument.
The jury which found Durlsin guilty
OF ShaHaban's murder early today
had little difficulty In agreeing on his
guilt, but deIiverated for six hours
on the penalty before compromising
on the 35.year term. Only two jurors
wanted Durlxin hanged.
The Gray case has been regarded as
less sound than the Shanahan indict.
ment by several prosecutors, but the
states admitted disappointment In
failure to win at least life imprison-
ment verdict resulted in conferences
TODAY looking to the demanding Of
the death penalty for the Gray shoot
Ing.
Gray was slain last Fall. a few
weeks after the Shanahan killing.
when Durkin who had ned eastward
returned to the city, and the police
attempted to ambush him at the home
Of LLOYD Austin, an uncle OF Betty
Andrews Werner. Betty was prepar-
Ing to nee with. him to California. The
plans to trap Dnrkin went awry.
Austin and Gray were killed in the
shooting, and Durkin himself was
wounded in the arm.

1t was generally agreed that Austin
was killed by cross-fire of the officers
but the State charges that bullet
