Then He Was Pardonsd by Governor and
Later Restored 10 Civil Rights.
HIS BUSINESS ENTIRELY RUINED.
Put IN Claim Against State for $13S. 976.54.
Court Of Claims Awardsd Him $500, but
Neither Hs Nor Siais Is Satisfied.

New York, June 26.-John Roberts
through his counsel, Joseph II. McDon-
ough, has submitted to the court of ap-
peals Question involving the extent
Of the liability of the state of New
York for the improper conviction and
Imprisonment OF one of its citizens.
This case came before the court on an
appeal In behalf OF Roberts from an orr
der OF the appellate division of the su-
judgment of the court of claims OF Sep
tember, 1897, awarding Roberts $500 az
damages sustained because of his inn
proper conviction and Imprisonment for
an alleged burglary.
Roberts asserted that he had been
damaged to the extent of $l3sg16.54 "a by
false arrest and imprisonment.
His story is that on January 3, 1917.
he conducted liquor store at No. 80
James street. and a restaurant at No.
SO Bleeclier street. He was notified that
Police Captain Murray. then in charge
of the Fourth precinct, wanted 20 see
him. Roberts called and was question
ed about a masked burglary committed
on December 22, 1875, at Astoria. He
protested his Innocence. but was ar.
rested. He was arraigned before Police
Justice Duffy on January 4. 1877. charg.
ed with the crimes OF burglary and lar
ceny, and was remanded to the custody
of the sheriff OF Queens county. He
was placed In the jail at Hampstead,
shackled and chained. he alleged. 10
ring bolts in the floor. and twenty days
later was tried i'm the court of oyer and
ter1utuVr before Judge Prarr or The SUI
preme court. County Judge Armstrong
and Judges OF the Sessions Chipp and
Baxter. and convicted.
He was sentenced 10 state prison at
hard labor for twenty years. being sent
there on January 26, 1877. Three days
later he was sent TO Auburn prison,
where he was detained until October.
1873 when he was pardoned by Cover
nor Lucius Robinson, facts having been
submitted proving conclusively his i'm
nocence. Governor Morton restored hin,
t. his rights as a citizen on April 15
lS95
Under an act OF the legislature pass
ed that year he was authorized 10 pre-
sent his claim for compensation TO the
board OF claims. His business had been
ruined during the 65S days he was in
prison: he could find no other employ
ment. He spent sl70o. he alleged. iu
obtaining his pardon. and contended
that he had been damaged at least
Sl3S.916.54. The court of claims award
ed him $500 which he insisted was en-
tirely insufficient. and which the state
also objected to.
Mr.. Marlborough insisted that thu
granted was absolutely !
inadequate: that the liability of the |
state could not be questioned: that the |
act OF the legislature granting him per- |
mission TO submit his claim to the stale |
court of claims was not i'm contrayen- |
tion OF the constitution. and that a new |
trial should be granted. Counsel re-
ferred TO the Dreyfus case and de-
rlared that the case of Roberts was one
fully as outrageous as that
