Biography
Fred Steadman was from Concord, New Hampshire, and was imprisoned under wartime speech laws. The official 1921 Senate table records a two-year sentence imposed October 4, 1918, followed by actual departure on commutation July 31, 1919. His physical admission date and total time served remain unverified.
The New Hampshire row records two years and actual departure on commutation July 31, 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 inherited death date predates the individually documented 1918 prosecution and is inconsistent with this prisoner’s chronology. That unsupported death date and the age derived from it have been removed pending biographical identity verification. The separately stored birth date remains an unresolved external research lead; the Senate table does not establish a birth date.
