OTT WORKMAN PAROLE AGAIN BEFORE GATES

Atty. Gen. Emmert Reports Board ‘Acted in Good Faith.’

Fate of Ott. Workman, life prisoner at Michigan City, was still undecided today despite an official report discrediting rumors in connection with his parole, which was -. later revoked. Governor Gates sald he had not decided whether to reinstate the parole of the reputedly wealthy Loogootee farmer. He said it. may be 10 days before he rules finally on Workman's petition for freedom. A detailed 13-page report on a

. state police. investigation of Work-

man’s parole, originally granted Aug. 31 and revoked Oct. 5, was submitted to the governor yesterday by Atty. Gen. James A. Emmert. ‘Acted in Good Faith’ It concludes: “That the state commission on elemency in recommending the parole for Ott Workman acted in good faith, upon reasonable grounds. . . . That neither the defendant Ott Workman, nor anyone in his be- , half, nor any other person has ever “attempted to use or did use money cr other things of value in any unlawful manner or attempt to obtain his parole. - “That your excellency in acting on the recommendations of the state clemency commission acted in good faith, and that no persqn ever used or attemptéd to use any influence to have you grant the parole, Public Defender’'s Role “That the public defender (Frank Greenwald) has no statutory duties or authority to represent anyone imprisoned who is financially able

to employ counsel, and to that ex-{

tent his acts with reference to the parole were unauthorized.” Governor Gates revoked Workman’s parole after his appearance in Loogootee surprised townsfolk,

_ created gossip and stirred a virtual

community feud. Also aroused were officials formerly connected with his conviction, few of whom had been consulted. The Workman case had Jong been a controversial one in southern Indiana legal annals.

Interviewed 80 Persons

He .was Gaptenced to life in 1938,

for inspiring sn armed robbery in which a man was shot. Atty. Gen, Emmert said that in their prabe of the parole, interviewed _more-than 80 persons, among them the “two former governors of Indiana. ; “All rumors concerning the improper use of money -either by Workman ‘or anyone in his behalf are without foundation either- in substance or in fact. ... . No one| who has been interviewed in this, entire investigation has offered even a scintilla of evidence that there was any improper conduct by any official in any way connected with Workman's parole.” Lie Detector Test During the state police investiga- | tion, the report continued, Workman was brought to Indianapolis |‘ for a le detector test but refused to submit to it unless told who was responsible for revocation of his | parole. His*demand was refused. Later,. on Feb. 2, he agreed, to take the test unconditionally, The test revealed, the. report as-

erime, but it further showed that no money had been used in any improper way to obtain the parole, and that the only moneys paid were

$3000 Attorney Fee

Attorney General Emmert said he learned that $3000 had been placed in escrow for Attorney Horace A. Foncannon of Vincennes, to be paid when and if Workman was paroled. Contacted by telephone PA Mr. Foncannon said the money represented “perfectly legitimate legal fees earned over a period Of three years.” The report alleged that other elements, acquaintances of Workman holding no official position, had connived to profit from his desire to obtain his freedom from Michigan city state prison.
