Governor weighs parole plea in cap theft case
Governor Harry G. Leslie considered a clemency petition from Martinsville attorney S. Co. Kivett for Frances Haase a 22 year old prisoner at Indiana Woman's Prison serving one to eight years for a $2.50 cap theft. The letter accused Judge Joseph W. Williams of bias and aligned with a political campaign. Kivett aided the prosecutor and urged executive clemency though the judge has opposed parole.
