The district attorney and trial judge now advise that a commutation of the sentence to 6 months' imprisonment can properly be made. I therefore advise that sentence be muted to 6 full months' imprisonment, the fine and costs to be paid as a condition. com (Full pardon recommended by the Secretary of War to restore rights of citizenship.) Mar. 17, 1898 Petitioner Wilkins was sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment, and to pay a fine of $1,500 and costs. He has paid the fine and costs, and served out all but about 15 days of his term of imprisonment. Prior to entering upon service of his sentence he was confined 17 days in the jail pending an appeal, which was taken from the judgment of the court. By the law of Pennsylvania, where he is confined, no allowance for good conduct is made upon his sentence. Petitioner is now said to be ill. Under the circumstances, I am willing to allow him the benefit of the time he served pending the appeal, and I advise that his sentence be commuted to expire May 13, 1900.
