JASPER COUNTY EMBEZZLER'S RELEASE IS IN SIGHT.
Banker McCoy Believed To lie About to Receive Ilia Liberty Ilevent Injury Sustained by Prisoner, Coupled With Mother's Death, May Have Won Hint Sympathy.
(Special to Lake County Times.) LaPorte, Ind.. Oct, 23. It is now believed that Thomas J. McCoy will be given his liberty In November, that the pardon board which will convene early in the month will take the action which will give the former Rensselaer banker his long sought liberty. Mr McCoy has served his minimum sentence and his case has been considered at several meetings of the parole board. There has, however, been marked opposition on the part of Jasper county citizens, coupled with the threat that other indictments would be prosecuted In the event of his release, and this feeling has deterred the board from taking action granting a parole. The recent Injury Mr. McCoy sustained coupled with the demise of his mother, who grieved herself to death, has aroused considerable sympathy for the man from Jasper county, who was at one time the first citizen of Rensselaer.
