Sensation Ends
 Kirkland Case
lcontinued from Page I,

Virgil Kirkland, 20-year-old Gary athlete, awaited sentence to-day of from one to ten years in prison on charges of assault and battery with intent to attack Arlene Draves, whom he said he loved and for whose death he once was sentenced to life imprisonment.
 Fist fights in the courtroom, ar rest of a defense attorney on bad check charges, reported threats of gunplay, and other sensational de- velopments marked the end of Kirkland's second trial resulting from his sweetheart"s death last fall at drinking party.
 The jury received the case at 4:25 yesterday. A short time later Defense Attorney Ronald c. Old ham was arrested on a bad check charge filed in Butler county, Ohio. He was taken to the jail where Kirkland sat, white and trembling, awaiting the verdict he knew might mean for him either death or free dom.
 Judge Grant Crumpacker had outlined six possible verdicts, rang ing from acquittai to murder by at- tack, which in Indiana carries . mandatory death penalty.
 At 7:25 last night the jury pro- nounced Kirkland guilty of one of the most minor of the six charges. Although it later was claimed some of the jurors did not. know it. this verdict specified the one to ten year sentence.
 During the demonstration, John Weaver rushed at Defence Attorney Oscar B. Thiel, struck and almost knocked him down.
 Weaver is the father of Mrs Ber- nice Elser, who attended the party which ended in Arlene's death. She testified for the state. Thiel had at- tackled her testimony. advancing a theory that she might have struck Arlene through jealousy and caused some of the head injuries Kirkland was accused of infiicting. When the demonstration was at it's height, Bailiff John Hardesty appeared, excited, before the bench, 'The jury was all mixed up,". he shouted to Judge Crumpacker above the uproar. He said High H. Nor row. and Claude Walters. jurors, had told him they became confused over the charges and had erred IHey tHouSue, no oaAu, tnSy "SAe sentencing Kirkland to die. ''It is a travesty on justice," de- clared Prosecutor John Underwood who said he now would dismiss charges against four other youths indicted with Kirkland.
 Oldham's arrest followed closely another sensation when the court was thrown into an uproar over q report that two of Miss Draves brothers were carrying guns. They were searched, but no guns were found.
