CURTIS IS
FOUND TO
Be GUILTY
Norfolk Boat Builder Who
Perpetrated Cruel Hoax
Found Guilty.
MERCY REQUESTED
Accused Throws Up
Hands When Verdict Is
Given In Court.

FLEMINGTON, N. j., July 2
tUP)-A verdict of guilty was re-
turned today in the case of John
Hughes Curtis, Norfolk boat
builder, who was tried for obstruct-
ing justice in the Lindbergh kid
naping investigation.
The jury of men and women
reached it's verdict after four hours
and five minutes deliberation.
Judge Adam Robbins was recalled
from his home to receive it.
The verdict was returned at 2:42
p. m.
Judge Robbins had instructed
the jurors that in order to find
Curtis guilty as charged they would
have to accept the evidence that
he had been in actual contact with
the kidnapers and slayers of Charles
a. Lindbergh, Jr. Otherwise, he
said, it would be impossible to find
that he had obstructed the hunt
for those who perpetrated the
crime last March l.
The penalty for Curtis crime is
three years in prison or $1,000 fine,
or both.
Miss Leila Alpaugh, forewoman
who has became bride since the
trial began, announced the verdict.
When asked if the jury had
reached verdict, she replied
I'VE, the jury in the case of the
state versus John Hughes Curtis,
find the defendant guilty."
The jury recommended mercy.
Judge Robbins deferred sentence
until July II.
Curtis threw up his hands in a
gesture of despair. The sheriff
tapped him on the shoulder and led
him away to Jail.

dropped off to sleep again, and
that's when somebody touched

a vote to get breakfast on.
Course I realize now that I
should have stayed awake and
protected my interest, but 1t
was the only time I had ever
entered national politics and
didn't look for the boys to
nick me so quick. Course I
should have had a manager.
But the whole thing come on
me so sudden and I was SO
sleepy. had been taking
opiates all night. No man can
listen to 35 nominating speeches
and hold his head up. And I
am sure some of these that
did the nominating can never
hold theirs up again.
Now, I don't want you to
think that I'm belittling the
Importance of those % votes.
They was worth something
there at that time. Not in
money, mind you, for there is
not $3.50 in the whole con-
vention. But they buy 'em
with promises of offices.
I expect at that minute
Roosevelt's bunch would have
given me secretary of state
for those % votes. And I could
have sold to Al Smith for
maybe mayor of New York.
Ritchie would have given me
the whole state of Maryland
with the vice-presidency thrown
in just for amusement sake.
Why, 1 could have taken
those votes and run Andy
Mellon out of the embassy in
England with 'em, could
have got that job with only
10 of the votes.
And what do I do-go to
sleep and wake up without
even the support of the Virgin
Islands. They not only took up
my votes but they got my hat
and my typewriter. 1 not only
lost my % delegates, but I
woke up without even as much
as an alternate. Now what am
I? Just another ex-democratic
presidential candidate. There's
thousands of 'em. Well, the
whole thing has been a terrible
lesson to me and nothing to
do but start in and live it down.

 There was no change in the Divisional tickets in other parts of the Territory from yesterday. L. V. Ray, Republican, who had a substantial lead over James Camp bell, Democrat, for Senator in the Third Division, was still leading but it had been reduced to 35 votes.
 The four Democrats running for the House there had increased their respective standings. In the Fourth Division, H. C.
