Leniency Plea Tied to Foote Embezzlement Case
A petition with over 400 signatures to the prosecutor seeks leniency for Franke Foote who admitted to stealing scrap iron from the B and O and betrayed an accomplice to become a state witness. Attorneys for A L Harte, on trial for his share, placed the document in evidence to suggest Foote offered immunity if he confessed. The judge may permit it to reach the jury Monday as indicating Foote’s motive to implicate Harte. Foote’s confession is reportedly influenced by his wife’s stance. Trial resumes Monday morning.
