WHITE PLAINS, UP. Three men convicted in the $4,960 Reader's Digest messenger holdup slaying were sentenced to death.

The trio ambushed a truck in Chappaqua, shooting Andrew Petrini, a messenger, during the robbery of mail and bank deposits. The case cites welfare and capital punishment debates, with arguments about treating welfare recipients as citizens, not numbers.
