Biography

Edward Anderson was originally sentenced to two years in prison. He served at Leavenworth Penitentiary from January 17, 1919, to September 2, 1920.

The September defense report lists Ed. Anderson among six Sacramento defendants then serving at Leavenworth and expected to be released September 2. It calls their term three years, conflicting with the separately sourced two-year term in this profile. The forecast and nominal term are retained as attributed reporting, without replacing actual custody chronology.
