The March1922 official report lists Billie Rogers in List1 of convicted prisoners or parolees. The government entry reports Conspiracy. a sentence of March 1, 1919, 10 years at Leavenworth.. Imposed terms, projected term-expiration dates, parole eligibility and intervals on bond are different measures; none is entered as a complete actual custody total. This attributed government entry is retained alongside the independently established individual chronology. [PDF17]
