Question

For how long was Jimmy sentenced to be impressed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Jimmy had been sentenced to four years in prison for a "bank job" he had committed in Springfield. O. Henry does not provide much specific information about the crime. There are several cities named Springfield in the Midwest. In fact, Wikipedia shows that the name is a common one for towns all over the world. It seems most likely that the "Springfield job" was committed in Springfield, Illinois, which is the state capitol., and that Jimmy received a pardon from the governor of Illinois after serving ten months.
