franchise granted by the people is a
privilege justified only by considerations

MURDERER WILL
APPEAL ON ODD
TANG[E Of LAWS
Blankmeyer Sentenced to a
Twenty Year Term, Counsel
Finds Point for Delay,

4 novel legal point was raised before
Judge Foster in the Court Of General
Sessions to-day by Arthur Train, coun-
sci for John II. Blnnkmeyer, who pleaded
in-law. Mrs. Christina Medinger, last
June, at No IA West one Hundred and
Forty-fourth street. As result OF Mr..
Trains action the Court OF Appeals will
probably be required to pass upon
the Legality of the statute providing for
punishment for murder in the second
degree
The sentence specified by law is i'm
prisonment for not less than twenty
years or up to the limit OF the life Of
tho cuprit. When Blankmeyer was ar
raigned to-day Judge Foster imposed
the twenty-year sentence
Mr.. Train promptly took exception He
quoted another provision Of the law
which makes it mandatory upon Judge
imposing a sentence of imprisonment to
so regulate the time that the prisoner
shall be released between the months OF
MAY and November. This law was
passed 10 avoid turning convicts out in
cold weather.
II Blankmeyer is sentenced for not less
than twenty, years he gets no allowance
for good behavior. and II the sentence
stands he would not be released until
November 1899 Mr.. Train held that this
would conflict with the statute calling
for the release of convcts after the eN-
piration of their terms in the summer
months.
Judge Foster said that the law was
mandatory. He inflicted the sentence
called for. and MIR, Train said he would
take steps to bring the matter before
higher courts for an opinion. In the
meantime Blankmeyer will remain In
the Tombs.
