BLACK LEGION TRIO
is FOUND GUILTY
Three Others Freed on
Charge of FIogging
and kidnapping.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT. August 7.-Three of six
men charged at the first Black Legion
trial with kidnapping and fogging a
fellow member were convicted today by
Judge Joseph A. Moynihan of false
imprisonment. The other three de-
PENDANTS were acquitted of all charges.
Convicted were Thomas F. Cox, a
mill hand; Earl Angstadt and Freder-
lex A. Gulley.
The statute governing false impris-
onment, the reduced charge on which
the men were convicted, provides for
a fine of s2.50O or five years impris-
| onment, or both.
Acquitted were Charles D. King, for
mer village trustee of suburban Ecorse;
Silbur Robinson, who admitted he was
brigadier general in the Black Le-
gion, and Harold Lawrence, a steel
worker and cult official.
The trial had lasted more than a
week.
kidnapping Not Upheld.
Judge Moynihan, who heard the case
alone after the defendants waived a
jury trial, held that there was not evi-
dence of kidnapping or f1ogging, but
ruled that the three convicted men
falsely imprisoned their fellow mem
ber, Robert Penland, in taking him
unwillingly to meeting.
The circuit judge indicated he would
sentence the men later.
Gulley, Cox and Angstadt had made
statements to police and the prosecu-
tors Office duplicating them in the
case and Gulley testified for the State
at his examination, but all six men
denied the charges at the trial.
Holding it was clearly shown the
three convicted men took Penland to
the Black Legion meeting by force,
Judge Moynihan added:
"Is there anything in the record
to indicate that Lawrence, King and
Robinson did anything to restrain or
falsely imprison Penland?
No Such Evidence Found.
ct think the record supports mega
| tive answer. Not feeling that upon
the record the guilt of King, Law
renee and Robinson has been estab-
lished beyond a reasonable doubt, the
court finds them not guilty"
As the verdict ended, Robinson,
Lawrence and King rushed to shake
hands with their attorney, Bernard
w. Cruise. The wives of Gulley,
Angstadt and Cox ran to their hus-
bands, weeping.
Joseph Charnoske, attorney for
Gulley. said there might be an appeal
in Gulley's case.
Judge Moynihan stated that Gulley
committed perjury by repudiating-
at the trial-the testimony he gave
ut the mems examination in Com

KIDNAPPING ATTACK
CHARGED BY GIRL
Sara Jane Alexander, 13, Dazed,
Tells Incoherent Story
of Assault.

NORTH EAST Md, August T.
From the incoherent story of Sara JANE
Alexander, 13, and investigation by
citizens, Cecil County authorities today
pieced together evidence that kidnap-
ers seized the girl and attacked her
after she left movie.
The girl, daughter Of Jesse Alexan-
der, laborer, was dazed from a severe
cash on her head. She arrived home in
that condition last night.
Magistrate George c. Rawson said
he had been informed the girl said
some men in a car threw a blanket
over her head, put her in the car and
carried her out of town. She was too
dazed to tell much more than that.
Rawson said a group of men who
heard the girls story went about
miles out of town and reported find
ing evidence of a struggle in a clump
of woods. They reported there was
blood on the leaves.
Whether or not the girl had been
criminally assaulted was not deter
mined Immediately.
Officers learned the girl left thea
ter about 1890 o'clock last night. Or
dinarily it would have taken her only
about five minutes to walk home. She
did not arrive home until more than
half an hour after she left the theater.
Her head was bleeding from cut and
she was unable to tell what had hap
pened to her.
