SIMPLE SERVICE AFTER II YEARS
John Dennison, Convicted Of
Murder, Is Released.

Chicago. Jan. 27.-Because OF errors in
his indictment John Dennison, who was
convicted OF murder 12 years ago and re-
ceived life sentence as penalty. has
been freed on habeas corpus proceedings
before Judge McEwan.
Dennison was accused OF the murder OF
man named Dillon and at the same
time a man named Burke was indicted
for robbing Dillon. The drawer OF the In
dictment against Dennison substituted
Burkes name for his and worded the
document so ambiguously that 1t was
practically nullihed.
The confusing sentences were erased
but II is not known whether the erasure
was made before or after the trial The
law presumes that the erasure was made
afterward and principally upon this tech
nical ground Dennison was released.
