Green Denied Parole in Iowa Murder Case
Des Moines reports Governor Clarke approved the parole board’s denial for Otis Green, jailed since 1906 for murdering his wife. Green, 28, had a history of dissipation and insanity, including memory loss, a failed suicide, and extensive medical treatment after eye injuries. A separate report notes alleged forgery cases linked to Jack Willis Workman, paroled in March and later accused again in Charles City. Parole official K G Lancelot commented on forgery being hard to curb. The supreme court ruling on excessive damage judgments allows courts to adjust awards in certain cases as seen in a Bettendorf accident suit.
