Besieged by reporters the jurors
stated that they had pledged them
selves not to tell what the standing
had been. The jury deliberation was
marked by the illness last night of
one juror, a shell-shocked war veter-
an, and the statement to the court of
another that duress was being brought
to bear upon the minority. Daugh-
erty and Miller both seemed quietly
jubilant over the disagreement. UNI
ted States Attorney Buckner, who
prosecuted the case, said that he
would not decide about retrial for
a month at least.
