Ammon Found Guilty in Franklin Syndicate Case

Robert A. Ammon was convicted of receiving 30 500 of the Franklin Syndicate funds knowing the money was from the swindle. The jury took about an hour to reach verdict as witnesses testified Ammon received large sums and planned flight to Canada. Ammon offered no defense beyond an appeal while prosecutor said Miller’s testimony could be disregarded. The judge instructed the jury to focus on property stolen and felonious receipt. Ammon faced surrender at the Tombs amid supportive onlookers and quipped that he has as much nerve as Miller.
