 Saitkowski, for the first time in three weeks of trial, appeared serio- ous and concerned.
 The verdict, was Johns eighth conviction since his first arrest in Central Falls, R. T., May 20, 1885. This was on charge of violating a juvenile court probation term and resulted in his commitment to a Rhode Island reformatory.
 From that time to the present conviction, Saitkowski has appeared before many judges. Invariably his weaknesses have been automobiles It was an assault with intent to rob that brought him to Cheshire Re- formatory in 1889.
 Immediately after the jury re- tired to deliberate on evidence Judge Munger excused the two al- ternates who had been sitting dur ing the trial with the other jurors. The alternateS are chosen to replace any of the regular members of the jury if they are unable to continue due to illness or death.

(Continued from Page D the deadlock with Laval and Ger many was reached, possibly late Saturday.
 It was indicated that one big obstacle was the desire of Petain that Darlan, his right hand man, should control foreign affairs.
 In event of solution a four man inner cabinet consisting of Darlan, Laval, Huntsiger and Paul Bau- doin, former foreign minister. ap- peared likely.
 Darlan would get control of for eign affairs, as well as remaining navy minister with control of the fleet, and Laval would be given the ministry of interior, thus gaining control over police and provincial projects.
 General Charles Huntziger would remain war minister and he, Laval Darlan and Paul Baudoin, former foreign minister, would probably form four man inner cabinet.
 Marshal Philippe Petain worked out this compromise plan last night in consultation with cabinet min- isters in hope of ending the long deadlock which resulted from his dismissal of Laval in mid-December
 It was expected that Darlan would confer at length with Laval Tn Paris tomorrow and return here !n time for cabinet meeting Satur- day at which a definite decision could be taken.
 Petain Compromise
 Petain under his compromise plan would give up the complete control he has had over the cabinet for he has had no premier and each minister has been responsible tc him personally.
 But he would have as premier il. Darlan his right hand man, one IT whom he reposes complete confi- dence, and Darlan, as well as re- taining control of the navy, would take charge of foreign affairs.
 The pro-German Laval had sought to make himself premier and to choose his own cabinet. He woulc have taken control of foreign affairs interior affairs and propaganda Thus he would have controlled the censored French press. Under the compromise plan, propaganda con- trol remained to be allotted. f It became cleared today that the swarthy Laval had determined tc revenge himself on the men he holds responsible for his treatment when he was dismissed in December and held under guard at his chateau
 The Paris press yesterday started a hate campaign against the men in Petain's personal entourage - his physician and personal secre- itary secretaries, Admiral Fernet itary secretaries, Adrimal Fernet and General Laurel.
