Biography
Daniel Mahoney was from Peoria, Illinois, and was imprisoned under wartime speech laws. The official 1921 Senate table records an eighteen-month sentence imposed May 8, 1918, commuted to one year and one day on March 3, 1919, and actual departure on March 11, 1919. His physical admission date and total time served remain unverified.
The Southern District of Illinois row records an 18-month sentence, commuted March 3, 1919 to one year and one day, followed by actual departure on March 11, 1919. The table separately identifies sentencing, nominal judgment and circumstances of execution; no new jail admission or actual-service counter is inferred. The inherited twelve-month actual-service override is not supported by the nominal or commuted term and is removed; actual total custody remains unknown. The inherited admission date has no independently cited admission evidence in the current record, whose body is empty, and is cleared rather than inferred from a sentencing or adjacent date.

The presidential-clemency table in the 1921 Senate amnesty hearings records a sentence imposed May 8, 1918: Eighteen months at Leavenworth. Commuted March 3, 1919 to one year and one day. 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.
