Buried In Jail Eight Tears
AYaihng Action Of The JHyy

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. s.
After lying in the county Jail for eight
years, waiting for the legal machinery
10 get In motion which would bring
his appeal from a felony conviction
and sentence OF 20 years before the
higher court, Jno. Black was recently
sentenced to one year at San Quentin
In lieu OF the original sentence.
Black withdrew his appeal after
sentence was pronounced. He made
long address to the court In which ne
reviewed his entire life, saying he had
been actuated by desire 10 get re-
yenge on the world for severe punish
ment melted TO him when he stole
horse In his boyhood to escape from
school. and punishment for an offense
he had taken upon himself 10 protect
others.
He said that after spending his
year in Jail the criminal courts will
see no more OF him.
Jailed Fifth OF Life.
Black Is 40 years old. One.ffth OF
his life has been spent in the county
Jail at lngleside waiting for the restor-
alton of records which were destroy
ed by the fire OF 1906.
After waiting seven years he broke
jail, but was hunted down. captured
in Canada and brought back several
weeks ago. The escape had the ef-
feet, however, OF bringing to light
the fact that he had been buried in
the jail for SO many years pending
the action OF the courts, and the re-
duction Of the 25-year sentence TO one
year Is the result
But Black has already spent eight
years In prison. Those years could
not have been considered as part or
the rs years, had the original judg-
ment Of the court been adhered to-
That's the remarkable circumstance
about Blacks case, the fact that he
has had eight years of liberty taken
from him simply waiting for the law
to act.

indirectly he has done for the express
companies what the whole OF Congress
seemed unable to accomplish He has
built his monument.
State Auditor Moore has done a
greater service TO his state than any
OF his predecessors. lie has gone after
the TAX dodgers and careless incompc-
