Tyron Released By Parole Board After Good Record
George Tyron formerly known as Gaspard Fait at the Indiana Reformatory was released on parole despite failing to report for six months after initial compliance. He had been committed in 1910 for grand larceny and returned from Detroit last week as a parole violator. The board cited his clean record in Detroit and an apparent effort to reform as reasons for reinstating him. May Lewis of Indianapolis provided information leading to his arrest. Henry Ford requested clemency, but the board acted independently on his history and conduct.
