Clarence Murphy Seeks Habeas Corpus Over Ex Post Facto Claim
Clarence Murphy, embezzling clerk of Salem Savings Bank, petitions the U S Circuit for a writ of habeas corpus to gain release from Charlestown prison. He argues his embezzlements occurred before the 1898 indeterminate sentence act, so his May 18% sentence should not apply due to the U S constitution against ex post facto laws. Judge Putnam ordered notice returnable April 27.
