After hearing argument on a writof
habeas corpus for the release from state
prison of John Mahsney, who was con-
victed in Hudson county for breaking
and entering on two charges. the Supreme
court announced that 1t would decide the
matter later. Mahaney was sentenced to
serve five years on the first charge and
seven years on the second charge The
point raised by the prisoners counsel is
that on right of court to impose success
i've sentences. Counsel held that when
the court imposed the second sentence to
begin at the expiration of the first, it ex-
ceeded its authority, according to the
statute. which provides that a convict
must begin his sentence within twenty
days after sentence is pronounced. The
authority for Mahaney's second term was
the endorsement on the back of the COM
mitment papers that the second term was
to begin at the expiration of the first.
Prosecutor William II. Speer, who OPP
posed the application, said the matter was
one of great importance, as it involved
the liberty of more than fifty convicts in
state prison, two of them being Timbers
and Sims, the Burlington negroes, who
were sentenced to 40 years for serious
crime committed in this county.
