Compensation sought for man wrongfully jailed in Madison
Madison, Wis. A drive to compensate John A. Johnson, 65, who served 10 years in prison for a crime now believed he did not commit, gains traction among about 3,000 residents with petitions urging legislative action. Johnson, who confessed under mob-threat but later recanted, was pardoned in 1922 after Gov. Phillips was convinced the confession stemmed from fear of lynching. His health declined, and he and his wife faced hardship despite his years of service as a city employee.
