Not Fourth Offender in Theft.

NEW YORK. January Is CP).-Har-
ny Simmons, Brooklyn negro, will not
have to serve q life sentence for the
theft of SIG, a jury so decided in
Judge Franklin Taylor's court.
The jury was asked to determine
whether Simmons was fourth offend
er under the States so-called Baumes
law, which provides life sentence for
fourth offenders. The jury decided he
was not.
Simmons had pleaded guilty to sec
ond degree larceny as Il second Of
fender. He had been indicted as a
first offender. At Sing Sing Warden
Lawes dug up three previous felonies
and asked the district attorney to have
Simmons resentenced under a section
of the Baumes law which is construed
by many to make it mandatory for
judges to impose life sentence on
fourth offenders.
