CLERKS ERROR
FREESFEL0N

Bernard L. Downey, Atlanta
convict who served five years of
a 12-year term for robbery, was
released by United States District
Court Justice Daniel w. O'Dono-
ghue today because of a clerical
error in the original commitment.
Downey had pleaded guilty to
three robbery indictments and
was sentenced five years ago by
Justice James M. Proctor to serve
four years on each charge. Due
to an oversight on the part Of the
clerk who handled the commit
ment, it was not specified whether
the sentences were to run concur
rently or conSecutively.
After Downey had served one of
the four-year sentences he brought
habeas corpus proceedings in Fed.
eral Court at Atlanta and was or
dered released and returned here
for correction OF sentence.
Brought before Justice Proctor
again the jurist stated that he dis
tinctly recalled the case and in
tended that the sentences should
be served consecutively. He made
the necessary correction on the
records.
Attorneys Albert Stern and Al
bert Lyman, who represented Dow
ney, appealed to the United States
Court of Appeals, and that tribunal
ruled that the sentence could not
be corrected. The higher court
remande dthe case back for hear
ing, and Justice O'Donoghue today
ordered Downey freed.
