Entitled to Communication.

TERM EXPIRES IN OCTOBER

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, July 29-Al
Adams hard fight to obtain his free
dom from State prison at Sing Sing,
where he is serving a sentence Of one
year and nine months. ended when Su-
preme Court Judge KeOgh at White
Plains denied the application made
through General Tracy for a stay of an
order directing his resentence pending
an appeal. and his release on bail.
Claimed Sentence Was Illegal.
Adams previously had obtained a writ
Of habeas corpus on the ground that ne
had been sentenced illegally, as his in
determinate sentence, without commu-
tation, would expire IN January, 1905,
when the law declares that State pris-
oners shall not be discharged in winter.
The point was raised that IN :BO3 the
indetcrminate sentence law was changed
SO that no Communication was allowed to
prisoners, and on that account Adams
sentence would expire in the winter.
Entitled to Communication.
Judge Keogh. however, finds that
Adams was sentenced before the law
was changed and is entitled to COM
mutation. Speaking of this, Judge
Keogh says:
If the law Of 1903 applies TO the de-
PENDANT, then he is entitled to no COM
mutation whatever and his sentence of
one year and nine months VIII expire IN
January, 1906 which is contrary 70 law
This Illegal expiration OF the prisoner
sentence during winter month, il is
cOntended by his counsel, makes void
the whole sentence of Imprisonment and
entities the relator to immediate dis
charge. If. however, the law Of 1903 IS
not applicable TO the defendant then he
is entitled TO the Communication under the
law as IL existed when he committed
the OffenSe. and such Communication of
his sentence will end his term in Oc-
tober, in conformity to the law"
