PRISONER STARTS
A HABEAS CORPUS
Fort Madison Convict Claims He Has
Served Sufficient Time for
His Crime.

FORT MADISON, Iowa, Dec. o.
Barnes and Chamberlain, attorneys at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, have notified local
court officials Of inten. to bring
habeas corpus proceedings for one
John Smith, convict in the state
penitentiary here, serving ten years
for larceny.
The case ;, peculiar and an interest
ing one. On April II, 1906, Smith
was sentenced to serve fifteen years
lat Anamosa, entered that institution
and served ten months In the mean
time his case was appealed and the
supreme court reversed the decision.
Then Smith plead guilty to his charge
Iof larceny and was sentenced to ten
years, entering on the service of this
last mittimus May Z, 1906. The serv-
ing OF ten months at Anamosa in 1905
was not taken into consideration on
this second sentence. He is on the
out list for August II, 1912, that being
the date set Ior his release from con-
finement, his good time having cut
his sentence down materially. If the
ten months service at Anamosa would
have been considered part of his
last sentence, and with his good time
off, he would have been released about
this time.
The plaintiff is contending that he
has served his full time and is being
wrongfully held. The case will prob
ably come IN in the district court
here next Monday.
