Judge Searle Holds That the Act Els.
tabltshing the st. Cloud RefOrmatOry
Is Constitutional.
Says the st. Cloud Journal Press: Judge
Searle has denied the petition of Joseph
Doll, one of the inmates of the st. Cloud
reformatOry, for writ of habeas corpus.
The application for the writ was based on
the alleged unconstitutionality of the act
establishing the reformatory because the
sentence provided for is for an indefinite
period and the power given to the board of
managers to terminate the Imprisonment is
confer Oh the board pardoning power in
the section providing for granting tickets of
leave, paroles and in certain cases final re.
leases.
The Judge after the statement of the
grounds of the application gives an outline
of the aim and purpose of the reformatory
and brief history of similar legislation in
other states, in England where it originated
and in France and Germany. Laws of
this nature" he says. ''are humane, and
their tendency is to educate and reform the
convict so that he may if possible become a
better member OF society. Such laws should
be upheld unless there is clear infractiOn
of the constitution"
Coming to the sections of the law imme-
diately in controversy Judge Searle CONT.
nues as to section IL:
The prisoner is protected from undue de-
tentiOn by the clause which declares that
imprisonment shall not exceed the maxi
mum term provided by law. for the crime
for which the prisoner was convicted"
Every sentence under this act. although in
definite in terms as to period, is, in my
opinion, in legal effect for the maximum
period of such Offense. but the board of
managers may, under certain rules and reg
ulatiOnS prescribed by the act, make certain
deductions from the term of Imprisonment
1t is true that under the act liberal dscre
ton is vested in the board in determining
the merit and demerit accounts of the pris
Oner, by which these deductions are to be
made. Similar power, however. is vested
by statute in the warden and inspectors of

able employment has been secured for such con-
vict with some responsible party.
Tenth-Every prisoner released a condi-
tiona pardon shall be liable to be retaken and
turned to the state prison. in he shall violate
the conditions of said pardon. the same as if he
had escaped from the prison walls.
Eleventh-The governor reserves the right to
refuse conditional pardon, notwithstanding the
recommendation of the board of managers. in any
case where he may deem it necessary for the pub
lie welfare.
The governor specifies the form of pardon
to be issued which has attached the follow
ing conditions:
First-He shall proceed at once to the place of
employment provided for him and there report
forthwith to his employer. In case he finds it de-
sirable to change his employment or residence. he
shall first obtain the written consent of the prison
warden.
Second-He shall upon the first day of each
month until his final release according to law,
forward by mail to the prison wsrden at saltwater
a report of himself stating whether he has been
constantly under pay during the last month. and
if not, why not how much he has earned and how
much he has expended together with general
statement.of his surroundings and prospects. and
this report must be end orsed by his employer.
Third-He shall remain in the legal custody and
under the control of the board OF managers until
the expiration of his full sentence unless the gov
ernor shall sooner issue an unconditional pardon.
Fourth-He shall be liable to be retaken and
again confined in the state prison if he violates
any of the conditions Of this pardon. In case he
loses his situation or becomes unable to labor by
reason of sickness or otherwise. he will commune
cate at once with the prison warden, who will
assist him.
After this date the governor announces
that he will not receive or entertain any ap-
plication for pardon for any convict who
is made eligible for conditional pardon
under the foregoing regulations. except in
cases where it is claimed that the convict is
innocent of the crime for which he was
convicted, believing that every deserving
case can receive due and prompt considera-
ton, and that the results will be more
satisfactory to all concerned than the i'm
mediate consideration of such applications
by the executive.

he said he wouldn't.
