Biography
Albert E. Maken, named Albert Edward Maker on the prison intake form, was an English-born laborer prosecuted for Montana state sedition in Townsend, Broadwater County. He received four to eight years on April 22, 1918 and entered Deer Lodge on April 23. The nominal term is distinguished from time actually served.
The intake form names Albert Edward Maker, a thirty-one-year-old English-born laborer, and records actual receipt at Deer Lodge on April 23, 1918 following April 22 sentencing in the Townsend, Broadwater County sedition case. It reports only three weeks in Montana after arrival from Washington. The admission day refines the earlier month-only record; no discharge is supplied.

The original Montana State Prison descriptive intake form records the sentence date as 1918-04-22 and records the plea/trial response as: Guilty. This sentencing entry is separate from receipt at the penitentiary.
