POLGE LOOK OUT FOR WEAPONS IN WAITING CROND Many Tough-Looking Men Noticed About Criminal Courts Building. FRIENDS WITH BECKER. Had Plenty of Company) While Jury Deliberated on His Fate. AN night there had been a crowd about the Criminal Courts Building. It became thicker after the jury finally! Went to its chambers, and had to be thinned out on the White street side. | It was the usual throng, moved mostly | by {die curlosity, and it was orderly, @oon after dark Capt. Tierney of the Flizabeth street station instructed the twenty men under him, who were guard- {ng the Becker trial room, to search every man who looked the least sus- Piclous for weapons. This precaution ‘Was not without reason, for just at the close of the trial yesterday a number of | tough-looking men, said to be members| of cast side bands, were noticed joung-| about the building, some in the! rridors and some near the entrances | ‘There seemed to have been no doubt among the lolterers that there would be @ verdict, The Jury got the case at £20 and went to luncheon at the Mur- Tay Hill Hotel. It was a sort of fare- well spread, rather more elaborace than usual, and culminated in the presenta- tion of souvenir loving cups to each Juror, ‘Thus the hotel people indicated that they did not expect the Jurymen to re- turn, elther to eat or to sieep. The | Jurors discreetly forbore to betray @ similar belief, but politely made their farewells and thanked the hotel man- agement for its favors. Each juror looked straight ahead as @ descended from the sight seeing auto on their return to the court build- ifig and went up to the jury room on the second floor. The crowds regarded them with curiosity, but made no dem- onstration, “GUESSES” ON THE VERDICT VARY WIDELY. The windows of the room soon blased with light, and during the hours that followed about the only sign that came from <0 room was a silhouette now and th.n against the yellow shade. Whether it was the shadow of a juror or a guard could not be determined, Yut each appearance was a cue for further “dope” among those outside. The “pertectly reliable” reports from the inside covered a wide range, At 6.90 the “dopesters had It the jury was five for conviction and seven for @cquittal, Then came a report that the real facts were that the jury was ten for conviction and two for ac- quittal. But there was no foundation for any of the reports. It had been a businesslike jury from the start, At 400 tt sent for the com- Dlete confession of Jack Rose, first Printed exclusively in The World, and ‘t 6.35 sent for the stipulations granted to Rose, Vallon, Webber and Schepps and the Hot Springs letter Schepps wrote to R Later came a request for a transscipt of all the testimony taken in Hot Springs. All this was taken to indicate that what bothered the jury worst was the status of Behepps, which Justice Gott haa de- elined to settle. There was a wrangle between attor- Beye over sending all the Hot Springs tewiimony to the jury. ond after refus- ing to give the jury she testimony not Qccepted during the ‘rial, Justice Goff Bnnounced to the court attendants he was going homet o dinner, and then wa: Weing to the Museum of Natural His- tory. Here he was booked to deliver an ad- @reas, and to participate in the recely- ing by the museum of some motion plc- ture films of Indian Ife presented by Rodman Wanamaker of Philadelphia Justice Goff did not speak however. FRIENDS WITH BECKER OURING LONG WAIT. The going of the Justice did not de- tract at all from the intensity of intere est maintained by the crowd about the building and the streets around it, It wes then after dark, and the group which flattened {te backs along the White street side, peering upward at the jury room, increared from fifty to perhaps one hundred. Among them were three women, two negroes and a one-legged man with crutches, Im the corridors, within the bulldin: there were perhaps 3” persons, chiefly reporters, photographers and lawyers, although in some manner members of a political organization which has its yeadquarters very close to the Crim. na} Courts managed to make their way | 1. : the detention pen, on the floor Just | tha. oceupled by the Jurors, Lieu! was spending his ume.
