The Phillips street abandonment which
comes before. the Town Council next Mon
day, by reference from the last regular

What is considered a unique case IN
the history Of American Jurisprudence
took place recently, says Sioux Falls
correspondent Of the Minneapolis Tribune,
the question being: Can man be inn
prisoned for one-half OF his lifef" Two
years ago John Leford Of Deadwood was
sentenced TO the penitentiary for fifteen
years for attempting to rob the Home
stake treasure coach. The statutes oi
Dakota at iha. time provided that where
an unsuccessful attempt was made To
commit highway robbery tho penalty
should be one-half OF the Creates. penalty
for successful commission OF the crime.
The severest punishment for highway
robbery is imprisonment for life. The
court in LefoFd's case thought fifteen
years would be half Of his life, and an
argument was heard before Judge Ait
kens for the release OF Leford from the
penitentiary, upon the grounds that a
penalty OF one hall mans life was 70
vague and indefinite that he should not
be deprived Of his liberty. The Judge
granted the release Of the prisoner. John
Leiord received his freedom.
