MUST REPORT LAKEPORT, Dec. 24.—California's longest term probationery prisoner was free today. For 40 years, Chas. Schlafini must report monthly to the probation officer here and remain on his good behavior. In 1917 Schlafini was convicted of burglary with explosives and sentenced to 25 years in San Quentin. Recently it developed that the law in question did not provide where prisoners sentenced under it should be imprisoned and he was sent back to the Lake-co. authorities. Lake-co. possesses no jail suitable for housing long term prisoners and the county did not feel inclined to build one for their "white elephant" prisoner. So Schlafini came up for re-sentence before Judge Hugh Preston, who fixed his new term from 20 to 40 years, suspended sentence and ordered the freed prisoner to report once a month to the county probation officer.
