As a Christmas Gift, Mayor
Zimmerman Releases Will
liam Newhouse, of Hart
ford City, a Larcenist.
WIFE AND CHILDREN
PLEAD WITH MAYOR
Man Was Serving a Long
Sentence for Stealing from
Room Mate, Being SEN
fenced Last August.

Mayor w. w. Zimmerman assum-
on Saturday when he released on his
own recognizance-practi amount
ing to a full pardon-William New
house of Hartford City who has been
in the jail since August 80, serving
a four hundred and twenty day SEN
tence for grand larceny. The petition
for his pardon was made by his wife
and small children in Hartford City.
and many of his friends and when 1t
was shown that there were extenuat-
ing circumstances, impelling the theft
of $25 from his room mate, Lloyd Shu-
maker, the mayor ordered his release.
When Newhouse was appraised OF
the courts order he expressed deep
gratitude and promised to return to
Hartford City Immediately and per-
haps enjoy his very best Christmas
with his wife and children who will
be overjoyed at his return, as indicat-
ed by the tone of the letter begging
for his release.
This is the first time in the history
or the city that the Judge OF the ponce
court or the mayor Of the city ever ex-
ercised his power to parole prisoners,
although such Christmas gifts are
common with the governor. OF course
Newhouse is not entirely free, for the
charge still hangs over him. and any
violation of the terms of the parole
will mean his return to Jail to serve
the unexpired time of the sentence.
However, it is unusual for q prisoner
released from Jail on his own recog-
nisaHce to ever be returned to serve
an unexpired term.
He came to this city in Aug
ust from New Castle where he
had been employed after leaving his
home. During the night of August
20, he filched $25, a gold watch and
other valuables from Shumaker' s
clothes and trunk. He disappeared
but was returned to the city by the
police and on the next day fined $10f
and costs and given three hundred
days.
