I I Victor Fish, sentenced by Judge F. D. Letts in 1923 to serve 25 years in the state penitentiary at Fort Madison as an habitual criminal, was released yesterday because of a technical error in the judge's entry of the sentence, according to information received this morning by County Attorney John Weir.

The Fish case was brought up in Lee county district at Ft. Madison two weeks ago when Charles T. Gibson, attorney from Traer, applied for a writ of habeas corpus. County Attorney John Weir of Scott county went to Madison Thursday for the hearing and contested the issuing of the writ. Judge John Rankin took the case under advisement until Monday when he ruled tht the mistake made by Judge Letts in writing that Fish was guilty of Be-bcig an habitual criminal and was sentenced therefore, instead of that Fish should be deemed an habUual criminal and punished, was enough to make the sentence void.

Fish's last crime here was theft of poultry.
