Record Sentence Stuns Narcotic Law
Violator.
DALLAS, Tex, March 6.-Fifty
years in prison-the heaviest Fed
eral narcotics law violation sentence
on record-stunned Louis Ginsberg,
SO. today.
He staggered and clutched the arm
of a deputy marshal when Federal
Judge T. Whitfield Davidson assessed
the sentence and $4,000 fine as
the climax to a sensational trial that
barred the workings of a narcotics
ring agents described as the largest
In the southwest.
j. J. Biggins, supervisor for the
Narcotics Bureau of Texas, louisiana
and Mississippi, said Ginsberg's SEN
tence eclipsed by 10 years the former
record penalty in the United States.
Judge Davidson sentenced five
other defendants to terms ranging
from to 20 years.
Defense attorneys Immediately filed
notice Of appeal.
Judge Davidson said he was passing
heavy penalties primarily for "the
protection of society" and was mot
closing the door Of hope for any Of
the defendants He pointed out that
every prisoner becomes entitled to
parole in time.
Federal authorities disclosed, how
ever, that no prisoner is eligible for
parole until he has served one-third
of his sentence. In Ginsberg's case,
he would have a minimum Of 1s
years to serve and would be past 10
before he could apply for q parole.
