Confesses To Furnishing Laws To A Prisoner
Ivan Lantz confessed to officials in Hardy County West Virginia that he obtained laws which Londa White used to help break out of the county jail on Thanksgiving Day. White, Lantz and Berlin Mowery were convicted at the October term for robbing Wilson and Company’s store at Milam. Mowery is in the Reform School. Lantz was serving six months. White awaited transfer to the penitentiary for a ten year term. Lantz had ties to Pendleton County robberies and White offered to ex pose him if help was not forthcoming. He obtained the laws and White used them to gain freedom. Efforts to reduce Lantz’s jail sentence were affected by these developments.
