At present the maximum sentence is 17 years, and in each instance where a kidnaper has been sentenced regrets have been expressed by the court that the sentence could not be made more severe. After Sept. 1 the only punishment that eau be meted out is Imprisonment for life, as the court cannot use its own discretion or discriminate in favor of any person found guilty of this dastardly crime.
