Alleged Grounds for the Release of Fe-
male Convicts In Michigan.
JACKSON, Mich, June 1.-THE proceed
ings connected with the transfer Of Mrs.
Pope, the Detroit murderess, from the
states prison TO the Detroit house of cor
rection have developed an inquiry which
may afford grounds for the release Of
every female life prisoner in Michigan
sentenced since female lifers were re-
moved from Jackson to Detroit, begin
ming in 1875. Upon application to Gov.
ernor Rich for an alteration of Mrs.
Pope's sentence the governor searched the
statutes and as the result, declared he had
nothing to do with the case.
His advisors hold that since the statutes
construe Communication Of sentence to
mean a change to lighter sentence, q
change to another prison is not commu-
ton. The state board of control Is
authorized to contract for maintenance of
convicts at the house of correction, and
the board Of pardons is authorized to
transfer them. The prison officials are
now in doubt as to which board to apply,
and will defer action until advised by
good authority.
