Mother's Day tribute to Chicago mother whose son was pardoned
Mrs. Tillie Majczek of Chicago died last July leaving a story of hope and a mother's love.

A two line ad led reporters to uncover perjury in the trial and a 1945 pardon by Gov. Dwight Green. Her son later became an insurance agent and a film titled Northside 777 told the tale.
