Saunders Sentenced
To 10 10 80 Years. in
Criminal Attack Case
Convicted Man Picked
From Lineup Again
By Waitress Victim

Leonard A. Saunders, II. colored
restaurant dishwasher, who was con-
victed In March by a District Court
jury of criminally assaulting a IT,
year -old waitress in a Nineteenth
street vestibule last January, was
sentenced today by Justice Jesse c.
Adkins OF District Court to serve
from 10 to 80 years in the peni-
tentiary.
The sentence was the maximum,
because the jury which convicted
Saunders did not recommend the
death penalty.
The sentence was imposed after
the court was informed that Saun-
ders' victim had again picked him
out of lineup last Friday.
The girl had been brought here
from Maine to look over five men in
a lineup, when it was learned in
court last week that Haywood Will
born. II. colored, now under SEN
tence of from three to nine years on
a charge Of attempted criminal as
sault on an FBI stenographer, al
legedly had confessed and then re-
pudiated the Saunders crime.
AS the result of the identification
no further steps toward a new trial
for Saunders were taken. Fridays
identiflcations were made in the
presence of Saunders attorney.

1t was said.
Last week, when Saunders was
scheduled to have been sentenced.
the case was postponed as a result
Of Willborn's alleged confession and
reputation. Mr.. Fihelly at that
time charged that third degree"
methods had led to the confession.
A police investigation was launched
to determine details as to the cir
cumstances under which the alleged
confession had been obtained.
