38607 Record No. 3254.

September 3, 1947

Present, All the Justices.

Error to a judgment of the Hustings Court of the City of Richmond. Hon. Jno. L. Ingram, judge presiding.

Affirmed.

The opinion states the case.

Robert L. Hicks, for the plaintiff in error.

Abram P. Staples, Attorney General, and Henry T. Wickham, Special Assistant, for the Commonwealth.


Frank Valentine Famular, defendant in the court below, was convicted of the statutory offense of kidnapping and there sentenced to be confined eight years in the State penitentiary. That sentence is now before us on a writ of error.

This case is, mutatis mutandis, the case of Krummert v. Commonwealth, ante, page 581, 43 S.E.2d 831.

The offense is the same; the procedure is the same; the evidence is the same, and the sentence is the same. For reasons which are set out in our opinion in Krummert's Case, the judgment of the trial court in this case is affirmed.

Affirmed.
