by Circumstances.
Frank i. Gales, who is In jaiI under
| sentence for petit larceny, is striving by
counsel to obtain his freedom, and he seems
to be very much the victim OF circum-
stances.
At the time he was sentenced to Jail he
was also fined $50, and the order of
court, the usual one, was that he should
stand committed until the same should be
paid.
He could not pay the fine and on Thurs
day went before United States Commits
sioner O'Donnell, as stated in yesterdays
Times, and sought release under the ''poor
convict act" being entitled to one month 8
time for good behavior. 1t not appea ring
from the record that the statute had been
complied with, Assistant District Attorney
Jeffords opposed his release, 1t being the
custom OF the courts to deny a prisoner
the benefit of good behavior by reducing
his time, and the Commissioner held that
he should serve one month additional I'm
liquidation OF the fine.
His attorneys. DegraffenreId and Jep-
per, then procured n writ of habeas corpus
and under 1t the warden produced him
yesterday afternoon before Justice Brad

that the court could not interfere.
