Hudson Appeal Filed in Court
Harry Hudson, sentenced to the State Reformatory for Men by Judge C. F. Rowland in Athens County Common Pleas Court, was free on a $1,500 bond after the Court of Appeals ordered the sentence suspended until oral arguments in February. A petition in error by attorney John J. Woolley argues Hudson was mischarged under the wrong General Code section and that the case should be treated as a misdemeanor rather than a felony. Hudson admitted sending threatening letters to W. H. Logan, later changing his plea from not guilty to guilty.
