Biography
Perley Doe was from Denver, Colorado. Perley Doe began serving his sentence on January 11, 1918.
The presidential-clemency table in the 1921 Senate amnesty hearings records a sentence imposed March 1, 1918: Eighteen months in the Colorado penitentiary at Canon City, a $100 fine and costs. Commuted April 22, 1919 to expire at once. 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. Duration audit: Kohn entry 79 independently identifies actual service beginning January 11, 1918 but gives no discharge or actual total. The clemency table gives a nominal eighteen-month term and April 22, 1919 commutation, not twelve months actually served. Unsupported exact counters are removed; no completed total is inferred from the imposed or commuted sentence.
