U. S. TO DEMAND DEATH PENALTY FOR ROBINSON
Admitted He Subjected His Victim to Violence, Hoover Claims. CAPTURED IN CALIFORNIA Paid Plen/V for Protection. Nashville Youth Is Quoted by G-Men. (Copyright. 1906. bv United Pr<*sst WASHINGTON, May 12. Thomas H. Robinson Jr. admitted after his rapture in California, it was charged today, that he subjected Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll to merciless violence while he held her captive. This admission, under the new Federal kidnaping law. makes Robinson eligible for the death sentence. J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was advised by his agents in California today that under questioning Robinson told them he was forced to use a lead pipe to beat Mrs. Stoll into submission. It was revealed at the same time that Mrs. Stoll was Robinson's “third choice.” as a kidnap victim. Originally, Hoover said his agents were told. Robinson had intended to kidnap Mrs. Stoll's father-in-law. He even visited the residence of the elder Stoll but, fouftd him away from home. He then went to the home of the son. intending to kidnap him and finally decided upon his wife when the son, too. was away. Five Firearms Found According to the alleged confession, as transmitted to Mr. Hoover, Robinson said he was forced to beat his victim to make her obey his commands. Under the Federal kidnaping statute the death penalty is provided for kidnapers in any case where victims are physically harmed during caikivlty. Hoover said that a check of Robinson’s lodging had resulted in finding five firearms, including a .45caliber automatic revolver which was in Robinson's pocket; two .25caliber automatics, a .38 automatic and a .12-gauge Remington automatic shotgun. Ke said a close check of moneyfound on Robinson showed he was carrying $2360 of the $50,000 ransom paid for Mrs. Stoll’s return. “Plenty for Protection" Mr. Hoover quoted Robinson as saying: “I paid plenty for protection.” This evidently was an indication that the ransom money had been dissipated largely in Robinson’s harried flight from the law. It also carried the inference that perhaps Robinson had been in some manner connected with the underworld despite the general belief that he was a "lone wolf.” However. Mr. Hoover denied a report that a tip from Alvin Karpis had led to the capture of Robinson.

$5,000,000 annually, and a $4 tax would produce $6,500,000. Senator Floyd J. Hemmer, Huntingburg, chairman, said. Edward P. Brennan, state budget director, said that the taxes would not produce more than half to twethirds of this amount. Assumption by the state of the counties’ part of the social security cost would mean loss of home rule in administering the program, Mr. Brennan said. He explained that the state naturally would insist j upon complete authority if it took j over the entire burden. Amendments to the gross income tax law’ also was considered.

Stoll Kidnaping Suspect at Louisville After Plane Trip From West. INSANITY PLEA LIKELY Early Trial Is Probable; Still Had $2360 Ransom Money, Is Claim. Up Ini I til Pits* LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 12. —Thomas H. Robinson Jr., kidnaper of Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, Louisville society woman, stepped from a big TWADouglass plane today into the hands of G-men who have been scouring the country for him for 19 months. The plane arrived here from Glendale. Cal. where Robinson was captured last night, and after a five, minute wait the kidnaper and hi* escort of four Department of Justice agents stepped out. As Robinson hurried down the lane formed by G-men and photographers. he lowered his smirking face. A crowd of 200 had gathered at the airport. G-men said Robinson would be taken directly lo the bureau headquarters for lengthy questioning. Death Penalty Sought. The death penaltv will be drmaderi for Robinson. United States District Attorney Bunk Gardner announced today. Mr. Gardner was to confer with Federal Judge Elwood Hamilton today. He said he would ask for Robinson s trial "at the earliest, possible date” but that it might oe the middle of June before the trial could start. The arrest of Robinson, whose female impersonations have kept, him a step ahead of the law for a year and a half, followed closely that, of Alvin Karpis. Harry Campbell and William H. Mahan, another kidnaper. All have been taken since May 1 by Federal agents. Ready for Insanity Plea Gardner refused to comment further on his decision to ask the death penalty. Robinson is under indictment for violation of the Lindbergh law. which specifies death for kidnaping if the victim is harmed. A Kentucky law provides death for kidnaping whether or not the victim is harmed. Gardner said he was “fairly certain” Robinson would plead insanity Don't worry, well be prepared to take care of that.” he said. Mrs. Stoll, wife of Berry V. Stoll, Louisville oil man. was taken from her home here in October, 1934. after being slugged with a piece of pipe. She was released six days later after her husband had paid $50,000 ransom. May Be Arraigned Today Robinson probably will be arraigned before Judge Hamilton late today or tomorrow. Gardner asked that he be held without, bond. A Tennessee lawyer, gifted with x sharp mind, a former asylum inmale, Robinson gave the G-men their hardest assignment in their drive on kidnapers But, like all the others, he slipped—and even his skill as a female impersonator did not avail in staving off the consequences. Two weeks ago. a stylishly dressed young woman entered a Glendale arug store, seated herself at the soda fountain, and asked for orange juice. There was nothing about her that was not soft and feminine and disarming— except one thing. That was her voice. The soda jerker knew it was the voice of a man. He telephoned police. Police notified G-men. $2360 in Ransom Money Left Last night. G-men surrounded a Glendale Hotel, a squad of them walked in. pounded on a door, seized Robinson. He was armed with a .38 caliber pistol, but so quick were his captors he had no chance to use it. Robinson had $4560—52360 from the $50,000 ransom paid by Stoll.
