Freed by confession ends long fight in murder case
A deathbed confession in Oklahoma frees Tidwell, once jailed for a murder tied to an Ohio and Atlanta case. Investigations, three presidents, and several attorneys general failed to exonerate him, until a widow’s confession and a commutation by President Harding led to his release from Atlanta penitentiary. The affidavit claims the killer was another former lover of Mrs. Brown, with corroboration from her son.
