Of Stealing O'COat
Grating Prosecutors
Appealed Lighter
Sentence

NEW YORK. Charged with steal
ing a $40 overcast and 50 cents in
cash, Robert Washington, is-year
old Negro elevator operator, was
given the vicious sentence Of 80 TO
go years in states prison yesterday
in til Appellate Division.
Washington was originally SEN
fenced 10 from IS TO 10 years By
Judge Charles G. Mott, IT., IN Gen.
eral Sessions. The District Attor-
ney's Office, long 8 cesspooi OF graft
and corruption, appealed the SEN
tence as not savage enough for a
worker supposed to have violated
the sacred right Of property. Judge
Mott resentenced the defendant to
from Is to 80 years. Even this failed
to satisfy the grating gentlemen Of
the District Attorneys ONCE, how
ever, and the case was appealed to
the Appellate Division. That supe-
rior court directed sentence to
from 80 to 60 years. Judge Mott
then went them one better and SEN
fenced Washington to 81 TO 60 years.
Washington appealed the sentence.
The Appellate Division, with Justice
Edward r. Finch, presiding. imposed
sentence Of 80 to so years, with JUS
tees Edgar S. x. Merrill. Alfred H
Townley and Irwin Untermyer con-
curing, and Justice Edward J.
Glennon dissenting.
Significant Of the anti-Negro
character OF the savage sentence Is
the comment Of attaches Of the APP
pellate Division that 1t is the only
case in their memory in which this
superior court sentenced person TO

Roosevelt Aid Profits
William E. Boeing, chief beneficiary

last Wednesday that his company had

of $12,045,549 from an original in
vestment of S487,l19.
