handed down by Judge Lynn
B. Griffith.
.Overruling a motion for a new
trial after returning the verdict,
Judge Griffith sentenced Har
graves to life imprisonment in
the Ohio Penitentiary. The
Judge heard the trial without q
jury.
Judge Griffith said:
"The crime of kidnapping is

4 Hargrayes refusal TO take the
stand in his own defense was
IAN admission Of his guilt" the
court added.
Had Weak Defense
No witnesses were presented
in behalf of the defendant. De
fenSe Attorney Sam Mango, of
Niles, sought to win freedom for
his client by declaring that the
State had failed to prove that
the motive for the kidnapping was
extortion, as charged in the in
dictment.
In returning a guilty verdict,
Judge Griffith upheld the conten.
tion of the State that there was
sufficient ''circumStantial evi'
deHce" to warrant a conviction.
Prosecutor G. H. Birrell asked
the court in his final statements
to impose 8he maximum penalty
as IAN example to kidnapers,
declaring that N,kidnaping is one
of the States worst crimes"

tive for the crime, the proseclM 7
said.
John De Marco, 81, also of
Youngstown, who was jointly in
dicted with Hargraves, will go on
trial next week on similar
charges. He entered a plea of
not guilty as his arraignment.
Hargraves and De Marco were
captured when the De Jute boy
was found in former gambling
den after being missing three
days. A third man named in a
John Doe indictment is being
hunted.
After being held for several
days as an accomplice in the
kidnapping, Tony Larocco, re-
puted Youngstown bootlegger, was
released from the Mahoning
county jail at the request of

but he promptly punched the man
holding the gun. The latter fled,
followed by his companion. At
the doorway, Mr.. Britt told police,

guard, trailed the fleeing pair.
Police were given a complete de-

Democratic Leader in House
Chides Green for Fight
on Sales Tax Plan

Declaring Congress will be
kept in session all summer if
necessary to pass a tax bill to
balance the budget, Represen,
tative Henry T. Rainey, OF
Illinois, Democratic leader OF
the House, warned the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor today
that its stand may force Reduc.
ton of salaries of all Govern
ment employees.
His statement was made in
answering the federation's presi-
dent, william Green, who reit-
Grated his opposition to- the
manufacturers sales tax. r7s
j Rainey said the alanufa facturerH
tax provides $685., ,OO0, 900 Of the
81 1,096, 900 900 necessary to bal
ance the budget. If it is de-
feated, the money must be raised
by wartime taxes and perhaps
the SlaShing of Government work
ers' salaries from the highest
to lowest paid, he said.
Backed by HuddlestOn
Declaring he would continue to
support the manufacturers tax,
Rainey said Representative Hud-
dleston CD, of Alabama, labor
leader in the House, is backing
it. Rainey said he had sup
ported American Federation of
Labor measures for % years, but
disagrees with Green's tax pro-
posa!.
RSiney said:
'EIf the sales tax is defeated,
will be compelled to support
a bill imposing irritating war
taxes and such taxes as those
on gasoline, radio, stamp taxes
on bank checks and convey
ances, higher postage rates and
other levieS.
81 hope Mr.. Green agrees
that we must balance the bud
get to restore Solvency of the
Government. The manufactur-
erS' tax is an emergency meas
ure adopted by practically all
nations except Great Britain
and the United States"
The House today voted to end
general debate on the measure to-
morrow night and begin consid-
GRAFTON of amendments.
Crisp Wins Consent
Consent of the House was OBJ
tained by Representative Crisp
CD of Georgia, acting chairman
of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, after the committee de.
cided to force the issue by vote
if necessary.
The proposal to balance the
budget by raising $1,096, ,O00, 900 a
year in taxes has brought Con-
gresS face to face with widespread
demands for economy.
Manufacturers Protest
The demand was illustrated by
presentation of a protest by Rep
resentative Bachmann (R.), of
West Virginia, from manufac-
turers of that State suggesting
that Congress slash Government
salaries.
Another move was made by
Representative Hastings CD of |
Oklahoma, who declared that |
hundreds of millions in savings
could be made. The present tax |
bill is based upon a cut of $685.
