Parole is Asked for John Ladidat, Lake County Murderer.

John Gavit, of Lake county, has appealed to Gov. Ralston to parole John Lapidat, a foreigner, who is serving a life sentence in Michigan City for murder. Lapidat was first sentenced to death, but was saved from the gallows by Governor Hanley within a few hours of the time set for his execution. Gov. Marshall was appealed to by Warden E. J. Fogarty just before his term as governor expired, but he refused to release the prisoner.
