December 29, 1892. James Kennedy. Sentenced March 5, 1890; county, Albany; crime, robbery, second degree; term, seven years; prison, Clinton. Sentence commuted to imprisonment in Clinton prison for the term of nine months and three days, actual time, from May 29, 1892. During a drunken frolic the prisoners took from a companion a small sum of money, but there does not seem to have been any intent to steal. Before this occurrence their character was good, and a commutation is recommended by the Judge who sentenced them and by many other citizens of Albany county, including the complainant. December 30, 1892. Charles Leavitt. Sentenced December 27, 1887; county, Erie; crime, grand larceny, first degree; term, ten years; prison, Auburn. Sentence commuted to imprisonment in Auburn prison for the term of five years and one day, actual time, from December 31, 1887. Granted on the recommendation of John B. Sackett, James Mooney, George Sandrock, Daniel N. Lockwood, John B. Manning and other citizens of Erie county, including the Judge, who says that since the trial he has become convinced that when he imposed the sentence he was under an erroneous impression concerning Leavitt's past offenses, and had he then known what he has since learned he would not have sentenced the prisoner for over five years. December 31, 1892. John Price. Sentenced October 30, 1888; county, Albany; crime, grand larceny, first degree, second offense; term, nineteen years and five months; prison, Clinton; transferred to Sing Sing. Sentence commuted to imprisonment in Clinton and Sing Sing prisons for the term of ten years, subject to commutation, from November 3, 1888. Price was convicted of grand larceny in the first degree as a second offense, and was sentenced for the longest term possible under the statute, being twice the longest term prescribed upon a first conviction. The first offense was committed in the State of Georgia. Since his conviction he has voluntarily caused to be returned all the stolen property, which was of the value of about $40,000. The District Attorney recommends that in view of the prisoner's good conduct and the substantial evidence of his desire to remedy the evil effects of his crime in restoring the property stolen, the additional punishment of ten years imposed for his previous record be remitted and his sentence reduced to ten years. Upon a consideration of all the facts I have thought it just to make the reduction recommended.
