The irony of fate settled upon Harry De Groot, who, because he appealed a con- Viction of second degree murder and won a new trial, now faces a probable life sentence for murder in the first degree, says a re- cent issue of the Alaska Daily Press of Juneau.
 A jury of three women and nine men entered a sealed verdict which was opened by Federal Judge George F. Alexander, of the First judicial division, and which declared DeGroot was gull ty of murder "without cap- ital punishment for the killing of Abe Hanson at Chichagif in 1883.
 H. L. Faulkner, chief de- fense counsel, announced immediately that De Groot will appeal the verdict, al- though he did not disclose when the appeal would be filed. It may be made any time within a year after sentence.

Sudbury, Pa., Jan. 31, - Laboring in five below zero weather, rescue workers removed the last of the cas- ualties from the Re9'' Company's fast night ex- press train which plunged thirty feet from the Susqe- hanna River bridge killing at least four persons and injuring between twenty five and thirty-five others.
 Speeding through the night on the run from Will Transport to New York the express hurtled from the north end of the span, at midnight, down to the bed of an abandoned canal, not many feet from the river.
 The identified dead are Dr. Guy Rothfuss, 32, of Williamsport; DanshaW, a fireman of Tamaqua; Will liam Ramp engineer of Tam aqua. Rothfuss and Dan- shaw were found dead in the wreckage. The engineer died a short time later in the hospital from a brok- en neck.

 Much Argument
 The verdict was reached after nine hours and eigh- teen minutes of bitter har- anguing among the jurors. Leonard J. Holmquist was elected foreman and deliV- cred the verdict.
 While no official report was made of the delibera- tions, s,rumors spread around the Federal building that several of the jurors, some placing the number as high as six, were at first in favor of a verdict carrying the penalty,
 It was believed that lex tenuating circumstances" in the case resulted in the recommendation for life i'm prisonment.
 No sentence date was set but sentence will probably be passed by Federal Judge within 10 days.
