luesctay federal District Judge
John Larkins signed an order dis
missing a writ of habeas corpus
brought by W. Earl Baysden,
former Onslow County business
man. who is new serving 15 years
in Federal Prison at Atlanta.
Baysden sought relief under the
14th amendment to the Constitu
tion on the grounds that he was
being more severely punished than
his four colleagues,-who were sen
tenced to varying punishments by
Judge Larkins in May 1962 after
they had pled guilty to counter
feiting $20 bills.
Nearly three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars worth of the bogus
bills were found in a freezer that
was on sale in Baysden's Jackson
ville furniture store.
Baysden, two of his employees
and two accomplices pled guilty to
making the bills. Baysden pled
guilty to five separate charges, and
each of the other four pled guilty
to two charges.
In denying the writ Judge Larkins
pointed out that, his sentence to
Baysden was not unduly severe
since he could have been given a
maximum of 65 years, and fined
$30,000 instead of the 15 years and.
$10,000 he wa* fjped.
Heaviest Sentence given to any
of Baysden’s’, .accomplices was 754
years. '£[.
