Tired Jury Resumes
Bridges DeIiberation
Starting Fifth Day
~ the AsseSiated Prsu

SAN FRANCISCO. April "A
Federal court jury today went
into its ifth day Of deliberations
on whether Harry Bridges. ClO
longshore leader. and two aides
lied to conceal his membership in
the Communist Party.
Weary. grim. with some angry
faces among them, the eight men
and four women recessed at 1918
pm. last night until 9 am. tPSTH
today. They had deliberated %
hours since receiving the case at
l2;43 pm. Friday.
The 4S-year-old Bridges, ma
tive OF Australia. was accused OF
committing perjury when he
claimed, at his naturalization
hearing in l945. that he never was
Communist. Henry Schmidt and
j. r. Robertson. his associates in
the union. and his naturalization
witnesses, were accused of abet-
ting the perjury and conSpiring
with Bridges 10 defrsud the Gov
ernment.
The trial started November "A.
required 81 court days and more
than ? million words of testimony.
Bridges acknowledged that he
had associated with Communists.
accepted their help when he
needed it in his union battles.
and upheld the right of Commu-
nistS to belong to his union. But
he denied repeatedly that he had
ever Joined the party.
Conviction could lead to at
tempts to revoke his citizenship
and deport him. Twice before. in
1889 and l94l. the Government
tried to deport him and failed.
Late last night the tension grew
electric as the jury sent q note TO
Judge George B. Harris. 1t turned
out to be request for clarifica-
ton of his instructions on the
count charging the three defend
ants with conspiracy. The Judge
spent Is minutes clarifying. and
the jury returned to deliberate.
The two sides took contrasting
views of this development.
The prosecution viewed It op-
timiStically. 1t hoped the jury had
considered and disposed OF the
perjury count and the count
charging Schmidt and Robertson
with aiding and abetting the per
jury, before going to the con-
spiracy count. That was what the
Government prosecutor had urged
the jury to do.
But the defense noted the Jury
might have been considering the
counts in numerical order, had
never gotten beyond the first
count, the conspiracy charge, and
was deadlocked there.

Bednasek Case Jury
Begins Deliberations;
Death Penalty Asked
By the Associated Press

IOWA CITY, Iowa, April "A
jury of four women and eight men
today began it's deliberations on
the fate of Robert E. Bednasek,
who is accused of strangling a
pretty University Of Iowa coed.
The State. in a surprise move
last night, asked the jury to send
Bednasek to the gallows. Two
members of the jury told the court
before their selection that they
opposed the death penalty.
The jurors received the case at
11:02 am. from District Judge
James P. Gaffney at the conclu-
sion of his lengthy instructions.
Have Four Alternatives.
The judge told the jurors they
could return one or four verdictS:
First degree murder which car
ries a sentence of death by hang
ing or life in prison.
Second degree murder which
carries sentence of 10 years to
life in prison.
Manslaughter which carries a
mandatory 8-year prison term.
Acquittal.
The judge advised the jurors
that if they find the 24-year- -old
psychology student guilty of mur-
der in the first degree they must
recommend whether he be SEN
fenced to death or life in prison.
Attacked and Defended.
Judge Gaffney also told the
jurors that if they do not find
beyond any reasonable doubt"
that Bednasek is guilty of any of
the charges, they then must find
him innocent.
Bednasek is charged with stran-
Cling the pretty 20-year-old coed
Margaret Anne (Gee-Gee) Jack
son, 20, whom he claimed was his
sweetheart.
The courtroom, in marked con-
trast with the last few trial ses-
sions. was only partly filled as
the judge spoke.
Members of the jury looked
fresh and we'll rested after spend
ing the night on Army cots. They
had been segregated last night
for the first time since the trial
began. March 4.
Parents Sit Nearby.
The handsome defendant sat
impassively near his lawyers while
Judge Gaffney read his 80 pages
OF instructions. Bednasek's par
ents were nearby, but w. Elmer
Jackson, father of Margaret Anne
was absent. Mr.. Jackson had been
present yesterday during final
arguments.
The judge said that if the jury
found that injuries to Miss Jack
son were inflicted in "A wanton
and reckless manner by the hands
OF the defendant on her neck
without malice or intent" he would
be guilty of manSlaughter.
But If the jury finds that the
girl met her death as the result
of a direct assault by Bednasek
with malice aforethought, ex-
press or implied, with premedita-
tion and deliberation and with in
tent to kill" then verdict of
murder in the first degree should
be returned. Judge Gaffney said.
