FAILS TO OBTAIN RELEASE

Writ of Habeas Corpus for Fred Wilson Is Denied. X Jeffersonville, Ind,, June 30; —Judge Harry C Montgomery refused a writ of habeas corpus, applied for by Fred Wilson, inmate of the Indiana reform atory, in an effort to obtain his release. The petition was on the ground that records of the Clinton circuit court did not show Wilson was sentenced to the reformatory. The cpurt held this merely a clerical error, as Wilson’s plea of guilty carried a sentence. Notice of appeal to the supreme court ■whs given. Wilson has served three and one-half years of the maximum of eight years for petit larceny.
