NEW YORK, January 18 (P).—Har- ry Simmons, Brooklyn negro, will not have to serve a life sentence for the theft of $116, a jury so decided in Judge Franklin Taylor's court. The jury was asked to determine whether Simmons was a fourth offend er under the State's so-called Baumes law, which provides life sentence for fourth offenders. The jury decided he was not. Simmons had pleaded guilty to ond degree larceny as a second ¢ fender. He had been indicted as a first offender. At Sing Sing Warden Lawes dug up three previous felonies and asked the district attorney to have Simmons resentenced under a section of the Baumes law which is construed by many to make it mandatory for judges to impose life sentence on fourth offende: THREEDAY SALES CONGRESS onducted under the auspices of the City Club January 18, 21 and 25, By William B.
