Iowa Lifer Fred Woodmansee Dies at 82 in Prison
Fred A. Woodmansee, 82, a lifer at the Iowa State Penitentiary who escaped the hangman’s house 26 years ago and claimed guiltless in a murder, died Tuesday. A former Fort Madison and Des Moines dentist, he was serving a life term for the slaying of W. F. Knap, a Des Moines businessman. Knap, 64, owner of a trunk firm, was beaten in his apartment on December 29, 1930, after which Woodmansee, then a guest there, was named by authorities as the assailant. He had denied the accusation, blaming bootleg liquor and a man he knew only as Frank. He had been an inmate since the case.
