Harry M. Green, Local Baldwin Radio Stock Salesman, to Serve Prison TermWASHINGTON, June 3.-Nathaniel Baldwin and 14 others convicted at Helena, Mont., of using the mails to defraud and of conspiracy to do so in connection with the sale of stock of Nathaniel Baldwin, Inc., of Salt Lake City, Utah, will be required to serve sentences of imprisonment and pay fines imposed on them. The supreme court refused Monday to review the verdict of lower courts against them. -The United States charged the convicted men devised schemes to obtain money by false and fraudulent pretenses in the sale of the stock and had conspired to use the mails for that purpose.It asserted the convicted men had represented the corporation as earning large dividends at the time it was in the hands of receivers. The company was organized to manufacture and sell radios and radio parts.The trial resulted in sentences of five years imprisonment each and a joint fine of $10,000 being imposed on Nathaniel Baldwin, Prank Keller, Charles H. Barnett and Lorenzo Stohl; 30 months* imprisonment and a joint fine of $2,500 on Harry M. and Joseph R. Green, and sentences of two years’ imprisonment and $1,000 fine each on Henry H Faulkner, George W. Reidman, N. M. Hansen, W, H. Haueter, A. A. Madison, Einer Brown, Floyd Dixon, John E. Martin and Harvey Penny.The Ninth circuit court of appeals approved the action of the trial court over the protest of the convicted men that they had not been given a fair trial in that the judge was impatient and showed ill feeling towards them and their witnesses.
