Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 223, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 September 1916 — Lewis and Speaks Granted Parole By Governor Ralston. [ARTICLE]

Lewis and Speaks Granted Parole By Governor Ralston.

Acting on the petition circulated by Mayor Spitler recently relative to the parole of Orson Lewis and Ernest Speaks, who were sent to prison when convicted on the charge of robbing Monon freight cars, Governor Ralston has acted favorably on the petition and the young men have been paroled. It is probable that they will be sent west to take up homestead claims, probably in Dakota.
