Whether the Supreme Court will hold the reasoning of the lower court sound or faulty is problematical. The history of the case and the proceed- ings which culminated in Burns’ consign- ment to Folsom Prison “for half his nat- ural life” are of peculiar ints . James Burns, alias James W h, was arrested April of this year and charged with ‘red Hausman was the com- witnes He testified that Burns, sted by an unknown “pal, on the corner of Kearny and Com- Burns was placed on trial before Judge Lawlor for the offense and was convicted of ‘‘an attempt to commit robbery.” Three prior convictions were proved against the pris- oner, the fi 3 his deten- tion 'in the County Jail for one year and tor the second he ved a term of two years in Folsom. I record as a criminal, had he been convicted of robbery, left > court with no alternative other than him to life imprisonment. On tion of “an attempt to commit robbery” under the statute alternative but to sentence him to prison for half his life, which the court Las done. When Burns was called for sentence by Judge Lawlor yesterday represented the prisoner, called upon the court to dismiss the prisoner. “The accuse Ruef, “has been aid Mr. " “held him | the court had | A. Ruet, who | the period have been imposed of the sentence which would | for the completed crime of robbery. This means that the de- | fendant must be sentenced to one-half | bis natural life in prison. The prov don | in the code covering this point reads: Every person who attempts to commit any crime, but fails, or Is prevented or intercepted in the perpetration thereof, is where no provision is made by law for the punishment of such attempts as follows: It the offense o attempted is punishable by im- prisonment in the State prison for five vears or more, or by imprisonment in the County Jail, the person guilty of such attempt is punishable by imprisonment in the State prison or in a County Jail, as the case may be, for a term not exceeding one-half the longest term of imprisonment prescribed upon a conviction of the offense so attempted. “The difficulty which confronts this court Is to fix the term of Imprisonment. The defendant is admittedly 2% years of | -, and {s admittedly sound and well | cally. The American experience mor- tality insurance corporations conduct their busi- , says that a m: sound, ha years, or of re This defendant, 5 years of age chances of liv- ching his sixty-third under these calcu- year. lations, which are accepted as the best, has thirty-eight years of life before him.
