COURT TO REHEAR
KIDNAPPING CASE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-WP)--
The Supreme Court today granted
a petition to rehear the conviction
of Thomas Henry Robinson, Jr.,
who was sentenced to die in Ken
lucky for the 1884 kidnapping of
Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, Louisville
socia1ite.
The court limited the rehearing
to argument of one point-whether
injuries sustained by the woman
were permanent. The Government
contended that Robinson struck
her head with an iron pipe and
fractured her skull.
Robinson asserted that the death
penalty could be invoked only II
at the time of sentence the victim
was dead or permanently injured.
He said that since Mrs. Stol was
chief witness for the prosecution
she could not have sustained per-
manent injury
He also contended that the So
called Lindbergh Kidnapping Act
under which he was sentenced is
vague and prescribes no fixed
standard of punishment.
His execution was stayed last
September II by the Federal Cir
cult Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.
An earlier appeal to the Supreme
Court was turned down December

BY BILLY ROCHE
Famous Referee

For his size and weight, Young
Otto was the hardest hitter ever
saw. AS a lightweight he set a
record of IS consecutive one
round knockouts, Is in the first
minute. His real name is Arthur
Susskind.
Otto began fighting in New
York soon after the turn Of the
century in three-round. node
cision days, when fighters were
billed as both members of this
club"
Reared in the tough old slaugh-
terhouse section near the East
river in the roarin g forties,
young Susskind learned how to
fight. At IS he quit school and
wesN to work - in the slaugh-
terhouse.
You'd think a kid brought up
in this environment would be
impervious TO gore. Well, Otto
was - except his own. And abb
horring bloody nose, he devel-
oped boxing skill and wallop
which made him impregnable.
Young Otto's mother ran
restaurant and the kid rugged
up a sawdust bag in the cellar
When he went to work on the
bag the crockery upstairs would
do a shimmy and the customers
knew Otto was at it again.
One night in 1903, Larney
Lichenstein, a sporty butcher,
sent young Susskind TO the New
Polo A. c. in Harlem, run by
Johnny Oliver, manager of Har-
lem Tommy Murphy, whom Oil
yer was building up at the time.
MURPHY GETS LONG REST
They put the good fighters on
one side of the big dressing
room, the bum ones on the 9TH
er. Otto was on the bum side.
Whats your name?" Oliver
asked, and as quickly as the
boy replied Arthur he snap
ped: 20 X, Otto YOU fight
him" He pointed. TO Murphy.
That's how Arthur Susskind
became Young Otto, He knock
ed out Murphy with the first
punch, but Oliver rang the bell,
