District Court Judge Henry
Schweinhaut, cutting a con-
victed robbers sentence by II
years yesterday. admitted he
was going beyond the letter
'of the law in doing so.
Technically, I have nc
doubt l can't do what I'm
about to do" the judge told
Lawrence Greene, jr., 27.
The judge recalled that in
July, 1858, he had given Greene
two sentences Of four to II
years in jail on two separate
robbery convictions, taking
into account his belief that
Greene was guilty in about 1s
robberies altogether. This made
a total Of eight to "a years OF
jail time.
However, the judge said. he
did not know that District
court Judge Edward M. Cur
ran the following month gave
Greene another four to II
years after a conviction in a
third case.

reason to suppose that I had
considered the third case

The building dedicated last

two for housing and private Of
fices, and one-the top floor
for a research clinic.
In 1885, the guiding figure
of the school, DR.. Harry S.
Sullivan, said the group could
get off to a pretty good start
if donations for the school
topped SO million. But as the
first class got under way with
tuition paid from 13 students,

arrears.

came from =. If all this was
thrown in a single base and
treated similarly, we could
have a sharp reduction in the
rates"
