THE NAKED TRUTH

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY. NOVEMBER 28, 1938.

DOCTOR GUILTY OF KIDNAPING Dr. Kent W. Berry Faces Possible Life Imprisonment Olympia, Wash., Nov. 28- -4U.fi> Dr. Kent W. Berry, 50, society physician, who avenged himself outside the law on the man he accused of seducing hi# young wife, regarded the probability of life Imprisonment philosophPialiy today. He told the jury which convicted him of kidnaping and assault that it had done “the best" it could. The jury also convicted the three men Berry hired to help him kidnap and torture Irving E. Baker, former coast guard officer. It recommended leniency, so Berry will escape the death sentence which the Washington kidnap law carries. He will be sentenced soon to life imprisoonment. Tile stale called Berry a “jealous old lool," maintained that his accusation of Baker was unjustified. Berry had taken Baker to a gravel pit where he tried to emasculate him with a pair of pliers. Robert H. Smith, William Macaloon and James Reddick were convicted with him. Berry, consoling his wife who ran to him after the jury reported yesterday, shouted to reporters: "The whole thing is a frameup. The authorities would no! permit me to swear out a warrant against Baker.and told me to take matters into my own hands. Os course I’ll appeal.” While Mrs. Berry. 27. wept on his shoulder, an unidentified courtroom spectator lushed forward and threw her arms around his neck, crying. Berry indicated that he would appeal because the court specified that the “unwritten law" had no bearing on the case, and on the premise that the abduction of Baker was not kidnaping under Washington law because no ransom was asked. Smith testified that he kept the doctor from using his scalpel on Baker. He had hoped for a second degree assault conviction only, the maximum penalty for which is a 10-year prison term. The jury convicted him of both assault and kidnaping. LIFE TERM FOR ROBERT IRWIN Triple Murderer Sentenced To 139 Years In Prison New York, Nov. 23—(UP)—Robert Irwin, 31-year-old former Asylum inmate, shouted in general sessions court today that he was a victim of "Rich Man’s Justice” as Judge James Cam Wallace sentenced him to a minimum term of 139 years in 'prison for the triple Gedeon murder of Easter Sunday. 1937. The slight-statured sculptor who snuffed out three lives in a Beekman Hill apartment beausa he was disappointed in love, his sunken port of the sale of real estate was filed, submitted and approved. A deed was ordered, reported, examined and approved. Marriage Licenses Francis Andrews. Schafer company employe. Decautr, to Eileen Jackson, Decatur. Harlan Jackson, Shafer company employe.

Jailed After Quarrel

Jan Rubini, Jr. (above), 19-year-old son of the violinist, and his aunt, Mile. Fifi d’Aubrey, were jailed ir Los Angeles as result of an alleged swing session—with fists—at the Rubini home in Malibu Beach. They faced batterv charges. tace contorted with rage, pounded the rail and screamed at Judge Wallace that the proceedings were “just a farce.” “You say you represent Justice," he shouted. ‘T say ot you that you do not. You represent a rich man’s justice.” Irwin had interrupted his trial on first degree murder charges last November 15 while a jury was being selected to plead guilty to the second degree murder of beautiful Veronica "Ronnie" Gedeon. 20-year-o'd artist’s model, her 54-year-old mother, Mary, and Frank Byrnes, a lodger in their home. In pronouncing sentence today Judge Wallace acted on tne prosecution’s plea that Irwin, who had spent three years of his life in Rockland state hospital, be placed where he could never again, “So long as he lives," endanger the lives of others. Wallace sentenced Irwin to 99 years to life for the Byrnes slaying and to 20 years to life for each of the other two slayings, all of the sentences to run consecutively. o ♦ + TODAY'S COMMON ERROR Do not say, "I live In a thrifty j community;" say, "thriving community.” ♦ * o NO HUNTING!
