Biography
Max Gorman was sentenced to ten years in prison. He served in McNeil Island Penitentiary from November 19, 1917, to April 7, 1920, when his sentence was commuted.
1920s custody review: The Morning Register, November 20, 1917, page 1, reports sentencing on November 19. The Daily Capital Journal, November 21, page 1, reports Gorman en route to prison that day, not arrival on November 19. November admission is therefore retained at month precision, with November 19 recorded as sentencing rather than an exact admission. The precise McNeil Island arrival and initial arrest still require the institutional record. Existing April 7, 1920 release is retained, not independently established by these articles. No identified portrait found.
