Woman Forger Is Innocent of Crime
Steps were under way to obtain the release of Ruth Gibson from the Rockwell City reformatory where she began a ten year sentence December 23 1939 for a crime County Attorney Warren Rees now believes she did not commit. A similar confession by Harriet La Rue in Minnesota weakens the Martelle forgery case and may overturn Gibson's conviction. The supreme court appeal places the case in its hands.
