SENTENCE IS CUT
SHORT OVER
80 DAYS
It Being Shown That John Graham i
Without Property, Judge Shack
leford Orders His Release
From the County Jail.
HE HAD SERVED OVER 60 BAYS

This morning Judge Sprigg SHACK
leford of the Mesa County district
court upheld the motion made by At
torney ice w. Rozzelle, and ordered
the release of John c. Graham, con-
yicted on November 19 on the charge
of illegally selling liquor IN the town
of Fruita and sentenced to 60 dayH
in the county Jail and to pay the
heavy costs of the case.
Attorney Rozzelle asked for the re-
lease of his client on the grounds that
the law provides that a man convict
ed of such a crime as selling liquor
in this state in violation of a state
law, cannot be kept in prison to sat
isfy the costs and fines assessed
him, If he is absolutely with
out funds or property.
Graham had more than served his
60 days in the county jail. He had
satisfied the jail sentence; but, as he
was unable to pay the costs, he was
being kept in Jail to satisfy the costs
and was credited with 81 on the
costs for each day he served.
Attorney Rozzelle maintained that,
under the state law, this was not le-
gal; that Graham, proven to be with
out property or money to pay the
costs. or on which a levy could be
made. could not be held in prison to
satisfy the costs
Arguments were heard by the court
from Attorney Rozzelle and Deputy
District Attorney McCliptock, the lat
ter opposing the motion.
The court Upheld the motion. and
Graham was given his freedom. He
was released from Jail at noon by
Sheriff Schrader. He had served
about so days. or 90 days over his
tail sentence: hut. had the court not
ordered his release today, he would
have had to serve about 10 days long
er In order to satisfy the costs thai
still remained unpaid.
