HOWARTH APPLIES
TO PAROLE BOARD
Makes Application For Release
But Petition Was Not
Granted
Says He Has Chance For Position
With a Firm Ia Chicago If Given
His Liberty

Frank +, Howarth, the former
Young Putnam attorney, who was SEN
fenced to states prison in 1913 for a
period of fourteen years, after he had
pleaded guilty to setting number of
fires IN this city, recently applied to
the board of parole for his release. 1t
is understood that he used as one ar
gument as to why he should be allow
ed his liberty. that he has an offer of
"A position at a good salary from a
Chicago firm.
Following Howarth's request for a
parole. States Attorney Searls was
asked to supply a record of the case
which ne did. The petition of Howarth
was denied by the board
A rumor gained currency that How
arth had been seen in Putnam, and
that he had applied for pardon. This
rumor was exploded in last weeks Pa
triot when it was stated that Howarth
was not out of prison and that his
name did not appear among the appli-
canHfor pardon.
In making further investigation it
was found that Howarth had applied
earlier in the current month to the
board of parole. which is quite diff
ferent matter. This board meets
monthly and if it acts favorably on an
duplication the prisoner is allowed lib
erty bat remains under the jurisdic-
ton Of the prison until the time of
sentence expires, and is required to
make reports and to observe saeh reg
uIations as the board may impose. 1t
may be that some inkling that How
arth had applied for parole reached
the public ear and that from this
meager information the story was en-
larged upon until it became to be told
that he not only had applied for re-
lease but that he actually had been re-
leased and had been seen in this vicin-
ity
