FORT MADISON. Iowa, October 10.
An inmate of the Iowa State Prison
was forcibly elected yesterday after
he had argued with prison officials
for more than two hours that he was
being wrongfully cast out into free
dom.
The prisoner, L. J. Brown of Tama
County, was sentenced to five-year
term for larceny by embezzlement.
Good behavior had reduced his SEN
tence by more than a year, and it eX-
pired yesterday.
Advised by Peter Neal, prison clerk,
that he was free, Brown reminded the
official that Judge Nichols had SEN
fenced him to five years and that he
was going to remain.
Persuasion failed. and after two
hours of fruitless effort to induce the
prisoner to leave guards were called
upon to throw him out. This they did,
but Brown battled with them to the
outer door.
