New Trial
For Scurbeck

Scarbeck, former American
diplomat convicted Friday of
passing information to Polish
agents, today asked for a new
trial on grounds the jury rem
dered an inconsistent verdict.
The motion. filed by Lawyer
Samuel C. Klein, states that
the jury apparently misunder-

beck guilty Of passing a For
eign Service dispatch to the
Reds, but not guilty Of remov-
ing the document from the

Scarbeck, who was Second
Secretary Of the American En-

victed on three counts of a
| four count indictment. He
faces up to 80 years in Jail and
$4,000 in fines.
Sentencing has been deferred
by District Court Judge.Leonaro
P. Walsh to permit preparation
of a pre-sentencing report by

Mr.. Klein, in his motion for
the new trial, hkened the jury's
verdict to the Teapot Dome
scandals in which an Gilman
was convicted of giving the
Secretary of the Interior q
bribe, but the Secretary Of the
Interior was acquitted of a
charge of accepting it.
Scarbeck's lawyer said the

evidenced by its swing from
an initial ballot of 7 to S for
acquittal of the diplomat on
all counts to the final verdict
