FOREST JACOBY | * OUT OF PRISON
Governor Commutes Local Convict’s Sentence on ‘Technicality.
Forest Jacoby, once one of Marion county’s most notorious criminals, has been released’ from the state prison as the result of action taken by Governor Schricker- to correct an illegal sentence imposed upon him, The governor commuted his sen-
tence from 25 to 10 years after it was found that Jacoby had been sentenced in January, 1938, by Frank Baker, former judge of Criminal court, to a 25-year term. By that time the new law was in effect prescribing that the duty of fixing length of sentence was up to the jury and not the judge. The attorney general has ruled that in such cases the minimum sentence must prevail. Ten years is the minimum sentence upon conviction of robbery, thé charge upon which Jacoby, was found guilty by a jury.
Jacoby allegedly was ‘a member of a gang, composed of the Head brothers and Jerry Dukes, whom police blamed for a series of stickups during 1934 and 1835 in which the gang obtained about $20,000 The biggest robbery allegedly perpetrated by the gang was the $10,-
000 holdup of the Citizens’ State
bank at Beech Grove. Jacoby was sentenced in connection with the holdup of the Roberts Dairy. Clemency commission officials say that Jacoby, now 40, had been work-
ing in the medical department at
the state prison for the past several years and has ‘become .quite proficient in work of that line. .
PULPWOOD OUTPUT DOWN

U-Boat Victims Are Strays
Or in Small Convoys, Knox Reports.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (U. P)~ Secretary of Navy Frank Knox said
today that the only ships being sunk |.
by German submarines now are
|either stray vessels or those in small
convoys: with inadequate protection. He told a press and radio conference that the submarines are not as aggressive as previously, presumably because of the Nazis’ loss of many of their best U-boat skippers. An analysis of allled ship sinking announcements suggested that the German high command has shifted many U-boats to the South: Atlantic, bly to escape the very effective anti-submarine patrols along northern convoy lines. Losses Not Important Knox noted that the South Atlantic was the scene of the greatest activity by German submarines, but he indicated that losses there were of no great importance to the allies. “What they pick up now are stray ships or ships in small convoys inadequately protected.” Knox said the 90 submarines which President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill had announced as sunk in May, June and July represented an “estimate.” He added that it “would appear” that Germany cannot build submarines as fast as she is losing them. : | The navy so far has announced the loss of nine ships during July —six of them in South Atlahtic waters. Not since last January have more ships been lost in that area. South Atlantic waters are those between South America and Africa. Last January, seven ships were lost there, but in subsequent months the losses have been: February, three; March, three; April, one; May, two; June, one. President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill revealed last week-end how effective the antisubmarine patrol has been by announcing that at least 90 submarines had been sunk during May, June and July. The major convoy routes now are across the North : Atlantic to Great Britain, to Sicily and to other parts of the Mediterranean en route to the Middle East and Russia.

Keating, who outdistanced Montgomery’s patrols, found the Italians standing around machine-gun posts blocking the ‘narrow road winding along the mountainside to the town. “I told them to hand over their revolvers and guns, but they were reluctantly disagreeable at first,” he said. “They apparently thought at first that I was a German. “Then one of them said, ‘Oh, you are English,’ and they all dumped their guns infront of me,
