Explaining why he had sent Mrs.
ingalls, to Jail to await sentencing.
Judge Weinberger gave as one of
his reasons testimony during the
trial that Ingalls, had threatened
his daughter that he would shoot
himself and his wife if they were
convicted.
Judge Weinberger also discussed
Mrs. ingalls, physical condition at
some length. stating that several
doctors had examined her and
found that she is a sick woman.
and that DR.. Harold o. Cozby, psy-
chiatrist who had also testified re-
garding the mental condition Of
Miss Jones during the trial, had
found Mrs. Ingalls, to be sane. but
Of highly nervous temperament.
Chief Assistant U. S. Attorney
Ernest A. Tolin said that the gov
ernment accepted the terms be
cause it was felt Miss Jones de-
served restitution for her years of
slavery.
Asked Maximum Fine
If Mrs. Ingalls, were given the
maximum sentence of $4,000 fine.
five years in Jail, or both, the only
recourse for Miss Jones would have
been a civil suit for pay for the
past three years, since the statute
Of limitations would prevent action
for the earlier period. In addition.
such court action would be long
and involved, with attorneys fees
and other costs to cut into any final
award that might be made.
Tolin agreed to probation for
Mrs. Ingalls,, but argued for the
maximum fine of $1,000. He point
ed out that the case had COM
manded nationwide attention and
would serve as a warning TO others
who might have intentions similar
to those Of Mrs. Ingalls,.
He eontended that the full fine
should be imposed to demonstrate
that the government memorializes
the constitution not only with
Fourth Of July celebrations, but in
a tangible way.
Opinions here varied. with Jury
