Inno cent Man Convicted Overturns in Thuringia
A Thuringian tannery owner named August Brehm was convicted in 1892 of burning his factory to obtain insurance proceeds and received five years penal servitude. He served four years, was released for good behavior, and later asserted his innocence. The Reichstag petitions committee has urged the government to revise laws on compensation for wrongfully convicted persons. Brehm, then with an estate of about $100,000, became a pauper after arrest as creditors seized his assets. He refused $565 awarded by local authorities, while costs were deducted and creditors claimed the rest. He is now sixty-five.
