AMMON ASKS LIBERTY.
Says His Confinement IN Sing Sing
Is Unconstitutional

Robert A. Ammon. the lawyer, who has been in
Sing Sing for complioity with 52o-per-cent" Miller
in "get -rich-quick" schemes, appeared as his own
attorney before the Appellate Division OF the su-
preme Court in Brooklyn yesterday and argued an
appeal from an order entered by Justice Keogh. at
White Plains, denying him writ of habeas corpus
without assigning reasons for the refusal
Ammon came TO Brooklyn with Detective jack
son, of Sing Sing. With him in court were his wife,
two women friends and his attorney, James Whyte.
He was opposed by Assistant District Attorney
Tailor
Ammon said he had sought the writ of habeas
corpus because he convinced that he had been
Illegally sentenced. and continued:
On November a. 1899, an alleged crime was
mitted which was punishable by an indefinite sen
ence For that crime was sentenced ao on }une 2s
making the crime punishable by an indefinite SEN
definite sentence Of from four years to four years
and six months.
He declared that ar the time of the offence there
no law in existence under which he could
be sentenced in 1903. Between the date of the Of
fence and the sentence law had taken the place
of the old and under the Constitution of the United
States. post facto, retroactive, laws are IL
legal. Consequently, he declared that the new law
could not be applied in his case and that there
law in existence at the time he was SEN
fenced to make his punishment legal He said:
Jerome and Tailor have used their influence to
keep my appeals from meeting with response in
point Of law that underlies my sentence. I don't
appeal to you for PITY but for shat that
II the sentence is Illegal the courts of justice
hs and his po
sition honored member OF the bar and enable
him TO look the whole world in the eye, an inno-
cent man.
II have right to feel bitter toward Tailor
for the methods he has employed cried Ammon
stretching his arms toward his wife. He has
even tried TO put my gray haired wife in Jail for
contempt of because she persisted in her at
tempts to get a writ of habeas corpus for me-
Ammon closed his pleading by asking for per
mission take the proofs of his innocence before
Judge Howard. at Troy.
Assistant District Attorney Tailor argued that
Ammon had been in prison for three years before
he had convinced himself that his sentence was IN
valid He also said that Ammon could get no re- re-
lief from habeas corpus proceeding unless his
sentence was invalid. Ammor had said in his ar
gument that an order had been issued to resen-
tence him. The order revoked upon his pro-
test although ninety other prisoners at Sing Sing
had been resentenced at the time. Tailor cited
the Murphy case, in which the prisoner was re-
and which sustained by the courts
In reply TO this argument Ammon cited the Holla-
way case in which the prisoner had been set free
in the United States Court of Boston because the
state court had resentenced him.
The decision on the original motion and the gen
eral answer of the Appellate Division 70 Ammon's
pleas will probably be made public on Friday.
