Let's Refuses
Durham Plea
ToCut Term

Federal Judge F. Dickinson
Let's today declined to shorten
the one-year jail sentence i'm
posed two months ago on Monty
w. Durham, %.
Durham. central figure in a
case which resulted in the broad
ening of mental tests for Grim
inal responsibility. was convicted
twice of housebreaking and lar
ceny stemming from the theft of
$50 worth of property from Dom
aid Hiss, 5000 @ street NV, in
July, 1851.
He pleaded insanity at both
trials. The first time he received
a three to 10 year sentence. The
conviction was reversed but at
a new trial Durham again was
convicted. This time he drew a
one-to-four-year sentence.
Again the conviction was re-
versed by the Court of Appeals,
Rather than stand trial again,
Durham pleaded guilty to petty
larceny. a misdemeanor. The
Government dropped the felony
charge of housebreaking.
Subsequently Judge Let's SEN
fenced him to serve one year
the maximum jail term for the
misdemeanor.
Today defense counsel Sidney
Sachs pointed out that Durham
already has spent about %
months in jail and 16 months
in st. Elizabeths.
Durham also has been in Jail
since Judge Let's first imposed
sentence two months ago. Mr..
Sachs asked Judge Let's to
change his original sentence and
make it two months to one year
which would make Durham eligi-
BILE for immediate parole. This
request was rejected.
Durham had married and was
working as a multilith operator
while out on bond.
His wife took the witness
stand today and testified his
conduct had been excellent.
Under the law, Durham will
be eligible for parole in March.
