Decision Date | 05 January 1901 |
Docket Number | 11,923 |
Citation | 63 P. 428,62 Kan. 422 |
Parties | In re EDWARD MURPHY |
Court | Kansas Supreme Court |
Decided January, 1901.
Original proceeding in habeas corpus.
Writ denied and prisoner remanded.
O. C Phillips, for petitioner.
A. A Godard, attorney-general, and J. S. West, for respondent.
This application is based on the following agreed facts: The petitioner was duly convicted of grand larceny in the district court of Leavenworth county, Kansas; on the 2d day of February, 1899, he was sentenced by said court to the state industrial reformatory, at Hutchinson, in accordance with section 11 of chapter 134, General Statutes of 1897 (Gen. Stat. 1899, § 6781). Thereafter, on the 14th day of September, 1900, the board of managers of said reformatory, in accordance with section 14 of chapter 134, General Statutes of 1897, made the following order:
Thereafter the said J. S. Simmons, superintendent of the reformatory, by virtue of the aforesaid order, took the petitioner to the Kansas State Penitentiary, at Lansing, and turned him over to J. B. Tomlinson, the warden. He is now there confined under the charge of said J. B. Tomlinson.
The prisoner must be denied a discharge from his imprisonment. When he committed the felony for which he was convicted, and when he was tried and sentenced therefor, the laws in force regulating his punishment, and the terms and conditions of the same, entered into and became a part of the record of the sentence. (The State v. Page, 60 Kan. 664, 57 P. 514.) The court, in the first instance, might legally have sentenced the prisoner to the punishment he is now enduring, and would probably have done so had his incorrigibility appeared as it did to the board of managers of the reformatory. Under the decision in The State v. Clark, 60 Kan. 450, 56 P. 767, a person convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to the reformatory is deemed infamous to the same degree as if he had been sentenced to the penitentiary. In The State v. Page, supra, the court said:
