Biography
Gustave H. Taubert, indexed by the National Archives as Gustav H. Taubert, was prosecuted at Concord, New Hampshire for violating espionage laws and imprisoned at Atlanta as inmate 8482. The 1921 Senate hearing records a three-year sentence on June 6, 1918 and release on August 19, 1919. His exact arrest and Atlanta admission dates remain unverified.
1920s custody review: The Senate hearing lists G. H. Taubert under New Hampshire: sentenced June 6, 1918 to three years, out on expiration August 19, 1919. NARA independently identifies Gustav H. Taubert, Atlanta inmate 8482, Concord, New Hampshire, convicted of violating espionage laws. The former ten-year Chicago-IWW attribution, Leavenworth institution and June 1923 release are corrected. The inherited June 4, 1918 custody-start date is retained provisionally but is not established as Atlanta admission by these sources. No exact duration is asserted.
Sources: 1921 Senate hearing, original table visually inspected; National Archives identity record.
1920s remaining-entry review: Kohn, page 136, dates the beginning of Taubert's sentence to June 4, 1918; the official hearing gives June 6 as sentencing. Pending the Atlanta inmate 8482 register, admission is conservatively recorded as June 1918, without choosing an exact day. June 1 is a month placeholder. The independently documented August 19, 1919 release is unchanged, and no exact duration is asserted.
The presidential-clemency table in the 1921 Senate amnesty hearings records a sentence imposed June 6, 1918: Three years at Atlanta. Commuted March 3, 1919 to eighteen months. 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.
