Click is the third member of the alleged kidnaping to go to trial for the kidnaping. Walter McGee, the first to be convicted, was the first man to receive the extreme penalty, death on the gallows, for the crime. His brother, George McGee, the second to be found guilty, was given a life sentence. Sent Bureus, Hearst Papers (Inter)."
