Two WWII Veterans Face Life in Debtor’s Prison
In Rutland Vermont on May 1, counsel for two World War II veterans prepared habeas corpus petitions to free Reth J. Fugatt of Springfield Massachusetts and Bernard Smith of Fair Haven Vermont who are jailed for debt. Fugatt, a WWII pilot shot down and six months in a German camp, has been jailed since March for 2189 dollars from an auto crash judgment, and Smith has been imprisoned 15 months over another auto-related debt. County Clerk George Hernan says they remain on close jail certificates and could spend life in jail. Their wives urge release.
