Erie Slavers Are Sentenced in Federal Case
Frank Anthony Ghessario and Frank Madaffer, convicted two weeks earlier by a federal jury of conspiracy and violating white slave laws, receive three year federal sentences each. Judge F P Schoonmeker in Pittsburgh imposes stacked terms totaling eight and three years respectively, with concurrent runs on multiple charges. The case stems from an alleged bawdy house operation in Meadville with FBI testimony. Madaffer and Ghessario testified against each other at trial. Also, Leslie Peek arrives home in Langaster as his mother dies, returning from Hawaii after learning of her death.
