MRS. MARGARET VALLEY
Parents or. Murdered Girl
 Ask Chance To KiU Slayer

New York. July 6.-UP)-Mr. and Mrs. Dominick Parlato today begged legal sanction to kill the murderer of their child. The con- victed murderer, Frank A. Flynn, obese garage manager, will be sen- fenced Tuesday to die in the cleo tric chair for attacking 6-year-old Margaret and drowning her in his bathtub. The Parlatos want to pull the switch that may burn out his life.
 A jury in three hours delibera- ton convicted Flynn last night of murder in the first degree without recommendation for mercy, auto matically dooming him to the death sentence. He became the first known court victim of his own mechanical testimony"-a phono- graph record, secretly made shortly after the crime April 30, threw his confession back into his ears. The sound of his own voice startled him from lethargic doze. It proved to the Queens county court jury's sat- isfaction that Flynn confessed without coercion. Judge Charles s. Golden set Tuesday as the date of sentencing.
 As Flynn waited in jail today. the dark-eyed parents planned to ask Gov. Herbert H. Lehman. final arbiter of his probable fate at Sing Sing prison death house, to set aside a rule barring relatives of a murderer's victim from witnessing an execution. Parlato, S1. is an electrician. He said that if allowed to act as executioner in the place of Robert Elliott. who has that grim job,. he would give to Elliott the $15O execution fee.
 I'm sure God would forgive me for burning him." he said. His young wife, Stephanie. agreeing tearfully, said, T hope they at least will let us see it"
 Flynn pleaded insanity. His counsel described him as "a kind man who always loved children" His recorded confession related that he killed the child because she had harelip and "it was a pity for her to go through life like

 Minnie Ruth wasn't at the stA- tion to meet him. Jesse opined openly that was 8 bad sign. He waited at the terminal a. while, looking frequently at a watch he won in a track meet out west, and finally set out for Minnie Ruth's house.
