EUGENE SARGOOD
MUST COMPLETE
HIS SENTENCE
Decision Against Arlington Man
Now In Prison
LONG FIGHT FOR RELEASE
Two Court Proceedings Failed and
Two Governors Have Refused
Pardsns n

States Attorney W. j. Msagher
received word from Montpelier this
morning that Judge Loveland Mum
son had made an adverse decision In
the habeas corpus proceedings
brought in the case Of Eugene q. Sar
good Of Arlington who has been In
the state prison at Windsor during
the past seven years. The proceed
ings, which were heard before Judge
Munson at Manchester in June were
brought for the purpose OF securing
Sargoods release from prison on the
ground that he was being illegally
restrained of his liberty.
The case Is one Of the most nota-
BILE in the recent annals of Benning-
ton county court not only because OF
of Sargoods several trials but be-
cause of the efforts that have been
made to secure his release. Pro-
ceedings have been brought before
the United States district court, two
governors, George H. Prouty and
John A. Mead, have refused to grant
a pardon and now the supreme court
has decided that Sargood be contin-
ued in the custody of the state at
Windsor.
Sargood was convicted in Benning-
ton county court of three crimes,
poisoning stock, attempting to poi
son two of his neighbors, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sanford Hicks, and perjury.
The convictions in all three cases
called for sentences aggregating
151s years. All three cases were
appealed to the supreme court, which
in May. 1906. sustained the convic-
tons for poisoning and attempted
poisoning but returned the perjury
case TO the lower court Upon the
completion of his first sentence his
attorneys began systematic cam
paign to secure his release on
the ground that inasmuch as tho
perjury conviction had never been
sustained, the prisoner should not be
required to take up the sentence for
the third offense.
