Jury Sentences Jack Kirschke Gas Chamber LOS ANGELES (AP) The jury that convicted former deputy Dist. Atty.

Jack Kirschke of murdering his wife and a man in her Bedroom has sentenced him to the California gas chamber as he dared it to. The jurors deliberated about four hours before announcing their verdict Wednesday. The tall, lean Kirschke stood solemnly, unflinching, when he heard it. The day before, arguing his own case, the 46-year-old former prosecutor had said: "I prefer death to spending the rest of my life in prison." After the jurors affirmed their decision individually, Kirschke bowed to them slightly and sat down. Then he said he will seek a new trial.

In the courtroom was Albert C.S, Ramsey, the a Kirschke dropped from his case when he won permission Monday to represent himself, In the penally phase of the trial. To newsmen Ramsey explained the reasoning that may have led Kirschke to ask for the death penalty. Kirschke knows that the Slate Supreme Court automatically and promptly reviews all death sentencesand he has said he believes the court looks more closely at death penalty cases than at those involving life imprisonment. At the end of a 13-week trial Kirschke had said he was confident the Jury would acquit him. But on Dec.
