Directs Release For Roger Touhy Government Likely To Appeal Ruling CHICAGO (INS) — A federal Judge directed the release today of Roger (The Terrible) Touhy, prohibition era gangster serving a 298-year prison sentence. But the graying Touhy's complete freedom rests on a government appeal from the Judge’s ruling. Federal Judge John ’P. Barnes officially erased Touhy's conviction of the kidnaping of John (Jake The Barber) Factor in 1934. He drew a 99-year term for that conviction. Judge Barnes also cancelled an additional 199-year sentence handed down for Touhy's part in a breakout from the Illinois state penitentiary at Stateville in 1946. Touhy can leave prison on 810,000 bond, signed by himself and his family, without collateral. The judge, who had studied the case for several months, cut his vacation short by two weeks to return to Chicago and render his opinion. His 558-page opinion climaxed Touhy's five-year fight for release, asserting he was "framed" by the then state's attorney Thomas J. Courtney, and federal agents who, |he claimed, produced "perjured
