Melntyre insisted there were plenty of grounds on which to ask for a new trial, and that the verdict will not stand. District Attorney Chas. S. Whit- man and his assistants adn.itted to day that they had expected a die agreement of the jury. All Agreed. None of the jurors would discuss today their deliberations. It was learned, however, that all were agreed from the start that Becker was guilty, The first ballot stood eight for conviction of first degree murder and four for second degree murder, The condemned man ate a hearty breakfast this morning and insisted that he felt fine. Later in the morning Becker held a long confer- ence with his attorneys. Not a member of the police de- partment could be found today who would discuss Becker's conviction. Assistant District Attorney Moss admitted that District rey Whitman and himself been threaiened with death for prose cuting Becker, Most of the threats, he said, came from persons of the underworld.
