Rapist Gets
Life Sentence
In Arlington
Jonitor Pleaded
Guilty to Attack
On Secretary

A life term today was given
a 20-year-old janitor who
gagged, beat, robbed and raped
a secretary at knifepoint on the
sundeck of her Arlington
apartment.
Circuit Court Judge Emory
HoSmer imposed the sentence
upon Joseph Edward Sullivan
of the 100 block of South
Fourteenth street. Arlington,
after the defendant pleaded
guilty to rape and robbery.
Commonwealth Attorney Will
liam HaSSan said the guilty pleas
were probably all that saved
Sullivan from the electric chair.
His victim, an attractive, I'M
married, 39-year-old employee
of the Department of Agricul-
ture, sorrowfully described the
attack which occurred last Au-
gust Is in the 1900 block of
Columbia pike.
Menaced by Knife
She said she was sunbathing
alone late in the afternoon
when Sullivan, wearing a mask,
rushed out on the roof of the
apartment, threw her down,
stuffed a shirt into her mouth
and forced her to undress by
threatening to kill her with a
knife which he held at her
throat. The victim is white.
Detectives said that Sullivan,
a Negro who was employed as
a maintenance man in a near
by apartment, constantly ut
tered obSenities and threats
during the assault.
Afterwards, he forced the
woman to give him a watch
and pearl ring which Detective
Jackie Shoots testified police
found two days later in Sulli-
vans home.
Death Penalty Asked
Demanding the death SEN
tence, Mr.. Hassan declared
that last July Sullivan was
convicted of molesting and
speaking vulgarly to a girl in
another apartment building in
the area.
Defense Attorney Paul De-
laney asked Judge HoSmer to
consider the defendants lack
of education in determining
what the sentence should be.
Asked by the judge if he
wished to say anything in his
own defense, Sullivan replied in
9 scarcely audible voice:
IAN I can say is that I am
sorry I have done these things
Sullivan also received a 25-
year sentence for robbery,
which will run concurrently
with his life term. He will be
eligible for parole in IL to Is
years, according to Mr.. HasSan.

Signers Hit Half
Way Mark For
New City Hall

Petitions for the bend issue for
construction of the new city hall,
were believed to be about at the
half way mark, with an estimated
$50 signatures already secured out
Of the needed 300. Mayor Harold
Mercer said that additional petit
tipns were given to councilman at
the Monday night council meet
ing, and began circulating Tues
day morning.
The petitions have met with a
very gratifying response from the
property owners, Mercer said,
with almost everyone agreeing
that the city hall is long overdue
and badly needed.
Mayor Mercer estimated the
cost of the new building at a
maximum of $4,000 for c~onstruc-
ton and furnishings. Bonds would
be issued to run for a 20 year
period, according to present plans,
but might be retired IN less time,
If finances permit. A shorter
period would, Of course, result in
lessened interest charges.
Mayor Mercer estimated that a
levy of pa mills would be needed
for PROBABLY the first three years,
but that the levy could be de-
creased thereafter, as part Of the
bond issue would be paid off, and
would no longer require interest
Estimates of the cost to the IN
dividual taxpayer, were ilustrat-
ed by the following instances
Mayor Mercer said that on his
own home, he expected the pre-
posed bond issue would add APP
proximately $2.25 per year 10 n
taxes; on the home of Councilman
Con GedroSe, the cost would be
abou. 80. Business house prop
erty, since it is more valuable
would of course pay more with
the Bowling Center's tax bill &C.
ing up about SGT per year, Mer.
Ger said.
Taxable value equals one THIRD
OF the assessed valuation of any
piece of property. The proposed
levy would add about $2.25 fol
each $1,000 of the taxable value
Each taxpayer, by taking M:
taxable valuation from his las
tax statement, can easily see wha
his share OF the proposed city hal
would cost him each year.
Plans are underway to contac
all organizations in Sidney, to ex'
plain the proposed bond issue
