They were sober-faced as they filed in past the defense counsel table, where Lucas and Franklin sat. The jurors didn't look at the two convicts. The two convicts didn't look at the jurors; both of them covered their eyes with their hands. But after the jury was seated, several of the jurors looked over at the two youths from The Rock. At least one of the jurors smiled Franklin smiled back.

By then, Judge Louderback was on the bench. "Gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a he asked. "My mother I'd like to write to her. First thing when I get back on The Rock, I'm going to ask to be allowed to write her a letter. I didn't want her here at the trial, even though she wanted to come.

But I'm not. I thought I'd have a chance with a Jurv. ASKS FOR CHANCE. l'M' Lucas: "I think the judge gave us a fair trial, but the jurors couldn't help feeling prejudice against us, because we were convicts.

The spot was this some convict killed thp guard, and the jury felt that some convicts had to be punished.

"Personally, I'm tickled to death that their lives were spared. I feel that's equivalent, in one way, to acquittal. They both had so much prison time charged against them that each would have had to do life anyway. I feel the jury must have thought the government had a poor case, for, in the final analysis, they gave these defendants no additional niio cnance "I know what we're going back to. Isolation.

If they'll give us a chance, they won't regret it. "We didn't kill Mr. Cline. You can believe that But that's all over. The jury has had its say, and we've got to go back for life.

Burke handed a bailiff the written finding, and Clerk of the Court Harry Foutts read it "We find the defendant James G. Lucas guilty of murder in the first degree without capital punishment."
