Description
The appellant, Jessie William Miller, was convicted of the crime of kidnaping under the so-called Lindbergh Law, 18 U.S.C.A. § 408a, Act of June 22, 1932, as amended by Act of May 18, 1934, Chap. 301, 48 Stat. 781. The indictment charges that the appellant and his wife, Artilla Miller, on or about August 28, 1939, lured, decoyed, kidnaped and inveigled one Dorothy Garner from a point in Arkansas to a point in the State of Texas for the purpose of holding her in involuntary servitude and to make her work in their behalf, and that they held her in such captivity and servitude by force, threats and beatings until February 28, 1940. The indictment further charges that the luring and inveigling consisted of certain false statements made by the defendants to Dorothy Garner to the effect that her grandfather was ill in Texas and desired her to come to him. It was alleged that, at the time of the kindnaping, Dorothy Garner was over eighteen years of age and a married woman.
