Biography

Peter Perruchon was from Tucson, Arizona. Peter Perruchon began serving a three-year prison sentence on June 4, 1918. 31 °

1920s remaining-entry review: The 1921 Senate Amnesty and Pardon for Political Prisoners hearing, printed page 88 (PDF page 94), names Peter Perruchon in Arizona, dates sentencing June 1, 1918 and reports him out at expiration February 7, 1920. This replaces the unsupported June 1921 endpoint. Stephen Kohn, American Political Prisoners, page 123, explicitly dates the beginning of imprisonment June 4, 1918; the old June 1 incarceration field had used the sentencing date. The official two-year sentence is preferred over Kohn's conflicting three-year term. The government table was visually checked and the individual Kohn entry read. This endpoint describes the criminal sentence only, not subsequent immigration custody or arrival overseas; first arrest and a verified portrait remain unresolved.

Case

Charges: Espionage Act of 1917 and/or the Sedition Act of 1918
Sentenced: Jun 1, 1918
Incarcerated: Jun 4, 1918
Released: Feb 7, 1920
Sentence: Official 1921 hearing lists a two-year sentence and $500 fine imposed June 1, 1918, and reports out at expiration February 7, 1920. Stephen Kohn separately dates the beginning of imprisonment June 4, 1918, but gives a conflicting three-year sentence; the official sentence is preferred. Penal release is distinct from subsequent immigration detention and deportation.
