D. {. COUNTESS
LOSES BATTLE
FORFREED0M
Appeals Court Denies
Plea, Holds Jail !
Sentence Valid

Countess Grace de Benque, who
won her release from prison,
where she was serving two to
four year sentence for larceny,
after her attorney instituted ha-
beaS corpus proceedings on her
behalf, gained hollow victory,
according to a Court Of Appeals
ruling today.
The Countess was sentenced
after she had been convicted Of
larceny in connection with. q
blackmail plot against an elderly
proprietreSs Of e fashionable
boarding school.
Sentence Attacked
She had served IS months Of
her sentence and was virtually
eligible for parole when her attor-
ney brought the habeaS corpus
action, based on grounds that
she had been sentenced under
the indeterminate sentence law,
although her crime. had been
committed before that law was
passed.
After she was ordered released,
she was again taken in custody Of
Un it d States marshalS an d
brought into the District Supreme
Court to be resentenced. At that
time she was given q new sentence
Of Is months under the old law
and her attorney again appealed
on grounds that the court had no
power to impose a new sentence.
Court Is Upheld
Associate Justice Harold M.
Stephens, Of the Court Of Appeals,
today held that the original SEN
tence was void and that the court
was within its right in bringing the
countess back into court in order
that q lawful sentence might be
imposed. She appealed, but. un-
able to furnish bond, was re-
manded to jail.
Her last sentence, imposed De
cember 20, last, did not become ef-
fective while her appeal was pend
ing, and the last four months she
has been in jail are not credited
against the time the court said she
must serve.
