MAYOR GALLS HALT
WASHINGTON, April 13. (AP)
In the supreme court of the Unit
ed States today. Arthur Gooch,
southwestern outlaw sentenced to
death under the Lindbergh kidnap
act, lost his claim that the law was
unconstitutional.
The kidnap act was passed by
congress shortly after the kidnaje
lug of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr.
The high tribunal declined to re
view the decision of the tenth cir
cuit court of appeals March 9
which approved a death sentence
imposed by an eastern Oklahoma
federal district court. Gooch was
found guilty of kidnuping an of
ficer.
His lawyers said he "has been
sentenced to die and the constitu
tionality of the act under which he
must pay the extreme penalty has
not been before this court."
Asserting Gooch had no funds,
his lawyers asked the court to con
sider the case without payment of
the usual fees.
Congress has no power to make
such an act a federal offense un
der the commerce clause of the
constitution," they argued. "The
state has the exclusive power -to
regulate vice and morality and to
pass necessary laws -for the pro
tection of its citizens."
Gooch Is in the Oklahoma peni
tentiary at McAlester, where he is
to be hanged.

day for two weeks Its decision on
constitutionality of the Guffey coal
