Ora Allen Released Amid Negligent Guard Debate
In a Basin court last Saturday W. B. Collins moved to test the case against Ora Allen charged with aiding George Saban to escape. The prosecutor argued lack of evidence against guard D. O. Johnson and negligence by state authorities who allowed Saban to roam. If Judge Mets orders prosecution, the case may proceed. Collins urged against further county expense given the escape was due to official negligence.
