Stephen Fusach at Watervliet, N. Y.,
last December, pleaded guilty to
charges o f second degree grand lar­
ceny and third degree burglary in
A lbany County Court a few days ago
before Judge Earl H. Gallup, and
was immediately sentenced to 15
years in Clinto Prison, the lightest
sentense which could have been im­
posed on the man, a second offender,
but the heaviest yet meted out in
Albany County since the Baumes law
regulating prison sentences went into
effect.
Under the Baumes law, Danz
might have been sentenced to as
much as thirty years, as a second
offender, he having been convicted
before o f burglary and grand lar­
ceny. John Thomas, 26, o f 594
Third street, Albany, and John E.
Gray, also o f Albany, arrested with
Danz, were given suspended sen­
tences.
