KIDNAP KILLER ; FOUND GUILTY Kidnap-,Slayer Os .Aged Chicago Man Faces Death In Chair • Chicago. Mur. 17.(U.R5' — John Henry Seadltind. 27, aeemlngly ■nonchalant about the future, today asked his keepers for some new magazines, preferably about the outdoors, intending to pass the time pleasantly until he Is electro- ' cuted for the kidnaping of Charles S. Ross. At one time he was a Minnesota woodsman, but turned to crime as an easy road to wealth.. He was sentenced to die last last night by a federal court jury which returned its verdict in 90 ' minutes. He snickered when Fed I eral Judge Johu P. Barnes orderI ed a hearing set for Saturday on a motion for a new trial. , “Huh,” said Seadlund. "They'll j put me iu the chair, but I don't I ) give a damn.” He is slim, curly-haired and boy- i ’ ish-appearing. He kidnaped Ross, ■ I 72, a well-to-do manufacturer of l greeting cards, Sept. 25 while Ross and his former secretary, Miss ; Florence Freihagd, were returning j to Chicago from a dinner party at Sycamore, 111. A young Kentuckian, James Atwood Gray, assisted j him in the abduction. After collecting 55U.000 ransom ; from Ross' wife, Mae, Seadlund ! killed both Ross and Gray, then i fled. Bodies of the victims were ; recovered from a lonely grave near Spooner, Wis., by G-men who traili ed Seadlund twice across the counI try. capturing him Jan. 14 while I he placed a $2 bet at the Santa ; Anita race track in California. He pleaded guilty to the kidnaping charge but was placed on trial under provisions of the Lindbergh law, which provides that a jury must decide the penalty in a fed-, eral kidnaping case. Manacled to U. S. marshalls, he ! showed no visible emotion as the verdict was read. He had maintained the same impassive attitude earlier in the day when, as the only defense witness, he told his own version of the crime. He pictured his killing of Rdss and Gray as acts of mercy. He shot both of them, lie said, because he believed they were fatally injured in a fight at the Spooner dugout and he "wanted | to make sure they were dead." I When the case was given to the Jury at 4:44 p. tn.. Seadlund was led to a detention cell. "If I was on the jury I'd convict myself,” he remarked to a guard. Neither Mrs. Ross nor Miss Freihage were in the courtroom when the verdict was returned. Federal agents revealed that she will get back approximately $45,000 of the ransom money, most of which was obtained from friends. , Even the IIS which Seadlund’s |2 I For YOUR SCALP CROSLEY’S XERVAC treatments Prices Reduced O.

I ticket, netted at Santa Anita will beturned into the fund, they said. About 414,500 was found on Sead- 1 hind's person when he was cap tured. and 130,000 was uncovered in a hideaway iu Minnesota. Seadlund probably will remain' in his county Jail cell until he is ( brought In court for formal sen- 1 ' fencing or a date is set for a new i I trial. , O ■HRiWf I a I jIT fl ■ I I ( iebi uK j {J Pii Ibbbbhhbbmhmhbbhbßbß Mrs. Janies Brown returned to ' her homo In Fort Wayne Tuesday i e'fening after a week's visit with ' .Mrs. William Bowers.
