HABITUALC Criminal
RELIEF DEPENDSO ON
TRIAL JUDGE NOW
Friends Of Joe MaIusky Will
Garry His Double Penalty
Back to Trial Court

Unless Judge A. T. Cole does some.
thing about it in Cass county district
court, Joe Malusky is "out of luck"
Malusky hit the headlines in 8
manner unusual for a small bootleg
ger. when the state supreme court
last week ruled that violations of the
prohibition law are evidences of moral
turpitude in North Dakota, thereby
giving a life for a pint i%nterpreta-
ton to North Dakota's habitual Grim
inal act.
The court did give Malusky one
chance for a shortened sentence when
it held that the imposition Of maxi
mum sentences under the habitua]
criminal act is discretionary with the
judge of the trial court instead OF
compulsory, as Judge Cole previously
had ruled in Malusky's case.
Malusky's attorneys now plan tt
have him taken before Judge Cole
again in an effort to induce the Judge
to reduce the f%our-year sentence
which he now Is serving in the state
prison here. When first convicted Of
possessing lio::or as a second offense,
Malusky was given a year and a halt
sentence. Then the courts atten-
ton was called to the habitual GRIM
inal act and to the fact that Malusky
had twice before been convicted Of
felonies.
For a third felony the habitual
criminal statute prescribe a prison
term twice the maximum normally
permitted by law. Malusky was
brought back and given the four-year
sentence. It was the supreme courts
decision on his appeal from that &C
ton which put him in the limelight.
But meanwhile, Malusky was denied
clemency by the state pardon board,
its members holding that it would
be improper to extend clemency to
Malusky when he might still 60 free
as a matter of right. Malusky's case
was considered at the pardon board
session last December and under the
boards rules his cas- will not again
be considered for another year.
The pardon board will meet here
June 2: but Malusky's case is not
expected to come up, since it was
considered in December.
AS a result it appears that Malusky
has little chance of leaving the peni-
Tertiary in the near future unless
Judge Cole acts favorably on his petit
ton for a new and shorter sentence.
Records of the pardon board show
that Malusky began serving his sen
tence on May %, 1928. If he gets all
the credit allowed under prison rules
for good behavior, however, the time
actually to be served will be reduced
to two years. nine months and II
days. Even If the pardon board re-
fuses to grant clemency and Judge
Cole decides that his four-year sent
ence was proper. Malusky will leave
the p~enitentiary's grim walls behind
him along about February II, next
year.

eral at Rio de Janeiro. He had been.
earlier, the consul at Para, and it was while
he was there that he heard Of the Putumayo
atrocities. Instantly the news had set him to
work. with the result that during the 10 months
since had left Fl Encanto, Easement had
made an investigation Of the district and the
conditions that prevailed there.
Six years earlier, Sir Roger Easement
plain Mr.. Casement-had been sent by th0
British government to investigate the condi-
tions in the Belgian Kongo, and largely as q
result Of the report made by the Irish consul,
q commission was appointed to correct the
abuses there so terrible. Consequently Case
ment was the natural man to select for an in-
vestigation OF this South American parallel to
the Belgian Kongo
During all this period Of investigation in the
Putumayo, I had been at Remate de Males
hundreds Of miles away in Q land to which
only few accounts of the investigation pene-
trated. That something had happened in the
Putuyamo we all knew. but just what it was
we could not be sure. Many Of the Peruvians
and others who had been chiefs Of sections
or had occupied other posts with the Peruvian

than that our, information did not carry us.
Easement invited me to join him in hunting
down those guilty Of crimes against the PutlI-
mayo Indians and I sailed with him for Para
where We took river steamer for Manaos.
Easement was q remarkably unusual person,
but there were few things about him more re-
markable than his dress. Embracing on the
river steamer from Para that day in 1911 when
the temperature was floating around 90 in the
shade he wore q thick and very dark brown

Dale affably. He had not been

It was just about time to give

Aragcn, he learned, had 1ne
to the prison again with Mona,
to make another effort to see

Shortly after 4:30 o'clock
Captain Sommers arrived. Two
detectives were with him.
Griggs, sullen and frightened,
was handcuffed to one Of Them.
In company with Sommers was

complied sullenly, as he always
did.
Dale looked toward the door
and saw Aragon entering with
Mona. He wanted Mona to
hear this. Without warning
Dale fired his question at
Griggs.
What do you know about
the death of Bob Larramie?"
what did Griggs know about
Larramie'S death? Who killed
Carmen, the dancer? Who
killed Laramie? What were

Robin Dale had struck UP a
friendship with Capt. Eugene

in that city. He would appeal
