Governor commutes life sentence for Hanneman case
Through the efforts of Mrs. Margaret Hanneman of Green Castle the life sentence of Arthur Hanneman for criminal assault in the Putnam Circuit Court was commuted to five years by Governor Warren T. McCray on the pardons board recommendation. Hanneman, 17 at sentencing on September 12, 1918, has served five years in Michigan City prison and may be released once papers read. Judge James P. Hughes and prosecutor C. C. Gillen supported clemency, aided by Green Castle residents. Adolph Seidensticker noted the pardon board’s thorough review found the act hasty and that the crime may have been less serious than charged.
