Biography
John Harrington was an Irish-born miner prosecuted for Montana state sedition in Lewistown, Fergus County. The prison intake report was dated April 20, 1918 but records actual receipt at Deer Lodge on April 19 after sentencing that day to two to four years.
The April 20 report explicitly records actual receipt at Deer Lodge on April 19, 1918, the same day as sentencing to two to four years. The report date is not the admission date. It identifies Harrington as a fifty-eight-year-old Irish-born miner prosecuted in Lewistown, Fergus County. Source: https://clcowgill.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/a-m.pdf#page=14

The original Montana State Prison descriptive intake form records the sentence date as 1918-04-19. This sentencing entry is separate from receipt at the penitentiary.
