ME- ANS TRIAL
COSTS S1,616
FOR j. 8.
Stenographic Report Is $500;
Witness Fees, ETC., Swell
Total Expense of Case

The United States Government
footed bill of $1,616.30 to stage
the recent trial of CASTOR B.
Means and Norman T. Whitaker,
who were found guilty of plotting
to steal $4,000 from Mrs. Evalyn
Walsh Mclean in the Lindbergh
baby kidnapping hoax.
So far as Means is concerned,
the verdict merely added another
conviction to his, already impress
Sive criminal record. He is SerV.
ing a 15-year term for stealing
$104,000 from Mrs. Mclean.
Just a Parallel
The two-year sentence he re-
ceived in the recent case was inn
posed so as to run along with the
other sentence.
In the case of Whitaker, alias
'"The Fox" it's different. It was
apparent from the start that he
was the target of the prosecution.
His conviction means he proba-
bly, will have to serve a total of
four years. Before going to trial
here, he was under sentence Of
two years in Florida. He has
appealed this conviction. Since
this conviction is in another juris-
diction, Whitaker probably will
be imprisoned for the local sem
tence before being turned over to
Florida authorities.
Witnesses Expenses
Witness fees, subsistence for
jurors who were held together
nine days, and expense of bring
ing out.of-town witnesses here
were the principal items of ex-
pense. These totaled close to
$1,000. Cost of preparing g.
Stenographic transcript of the
trial ran more than 5000.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, the
Governments star witness, came
here of his own volition and his
appearance didn't cost the prose
cution a. penny.
