Biography
Charles G. Schulze’s clemency recommendation reports more than one year actually held in San Diego County Jail and says this was almost the equivalent of eighteen months of imprisonment. That equivalence is not eighteen calendar months served. The September 27, 1918 four-year judgment and November 27, 1919 commutation to expire immediately do not independently prove admission and discharge on those days. The inherited McNeil Island interval and 426-day total are removed pending custody records; the source explicitly establishes the San Diego jail confinement, but no complete actual duration.
The presidential-clemency table in the 1921 Senate amnesty hearings records a sentence imposed September 27, 1918: Four years. Commuted November 27, 1919 to expire at once; the recommendation cites more than one year actually held in San Diego County Jail, deteriorating health and age. A pardon, commutation, nominal expiration or parole eligibility is not itself evidence of the day of physical release; the imposed or reduced term is not a measured time served.
