THOMAS 1 rail ALMOST RELEASED

Rensselaer Bank Wrecker

Wanted Freedom on Old "Good Time" Law. WARDEN REID PREVENTS IT

CONSTRUCTION OF THE ANCIENT 8TATUTE WOULD HAVE RELEASED A HUNDRED DESPERATE PRISON INMATES. : -

Indianapolis, Feb. 10. It became Qtnow yesterday that the citation of an opinion by the supreme court by James D. Held, warden of the Indiana penitentiary at, Michigan City, was all that prevented the. release from prison of Thomas J. McCoy, the Renssalaer bank wrecker; ' The ' opinion which would-have resulted in the release of McCoy was given by the Attorney General and was to the effect that McrCoy was entitled to "good time" under Jen old law even though he was convicted and sentenced under the indeterminate sentence law. This construction of the law would hare resulted also in the release of at least 100 of the worst prisoners In the penitentiary. ...... The attorney general's opinion was forwarded to Governor Marshall when attorney for McCoy raised the question of the release of McCoy. The governor forwarded the opinion , to Mr. Reid. Newspapers got hold of - the facts through different attorneys, it is said, and It was even publlsed in the newspapers, that McCoy had been released. Supreme Court Ruling. Warden Reid, however, made an investigation of the law and found a decision of the supreme court in the case

of Davis vs. the state, 152 Ind. which

was to the effect that a prisoner convicted under the Indeterminate sen

tence law could not take advantage of his free time under the old law enacted in .1883. The indeterminate sentence law was enacted in 1807. Warden Reid was in the city yesterday, but he refused to discuss the case, saying that any information of this kind should come from the governor. The governor also refused to discuss the case. . The facts have become known, however, from authentic sources. The opinfon of the attorney general was sent to Warden Reid several days ago. When he reported back to the governor his Investigation of the law and the supreme court decision referred to, the governor, it is said, referred the matter back to the attorney general. It is said that George B. Haywood of Lafayette, one of McCoy's attorneys, and the attorney general are now-con-ferrig and investigating the law as far as possible. Was Bank Wrecker. McCoy was convicted , in connection with the wrecking of the McCoy private bank at Renssalaer about three

years ago. He was sentenced from one

to three years under the indetermin

ate sentence act, and his three years

will expire June 10, next. Under the

old good time law a prisoner whose

behavior was good was entitled to have one month taken off the first year

of his sentence, two months off the second, and three months off the third.

and under the provisions of this act

McCoy, provided his behavior had been good would have been released some time ago. If the good time law were regarded as being in effect as to those

sentenced under the indeterminate sen

tence law many bad criminals in the state prison would be entilted ,toelease. v

"The Top of the World. "

"TheTop of the World" will be the attraction at the Gennett theater, Feb. 19. Only six dogs appear in the col

lie ballet of the "Top of the World,

but there are always eight at the the

ater ready to go on. The extra are

understudies, and are used at least

once a week, whether circumstances require it or not, in order that they

may be kept familiar with their work

The secret of the effectiveness of the

ballet lies in the fact that each girl in the ballet devotes her time and attention exclusively to one dog (with a half hour rehearsal every day) and thus has the animal under perfect control.

Vance's company of players, with Mr. W. A. Whitecar, in Lem B. Parker's new drama of American life, entilted "Married for Money." The play is said to be one of absorbing heart interest and the presenting cast one of unusual excellence.

"Madam Butterfly." Every actress has her share in the advising of stage struck, applicants. Miss Louie Collier, in the production of "Madam Butterfly" at the Gennett tehater, Feb. 17, is most conscientious in regard to this, finding it not unpleasant as it is the responsibility of large proportions. She says, if I find what I think talent, I may cause trouble If I encourage unless the family consent has been obtained. If I discourage, I have my own troublesome conscience to stifle.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin." Cal. Sawyer's great pack of genuine Siberian bloodhounds are beyond doubt the finest lot of canines of that strain ever found in this country.

These famous hounds are touring with Stetson "Uncle Tom Cabin" Company this season, and will appear at the Gennett theater Friday, Feb. 12, matinee and night when this great organization plays here.

"The Thief." "The Thief which Charles Frohman will bring to this city for the first time at the Gennett theater Feb. 16 is from the pen of Henry Bernstein, one of the most ingenious and successful of contemporary playwrights. Mr. Berstein is already known for several plays similar in construction, very similar

in ingenuity and composition to "The Thief," but it is probable for many years to come he will be known in this country as he still is in France as the author of "The Thief," despite his more recent plays.
