M'NUTTFREES
INNOCENT GIRL
Victim of Mistaken Identity
Gains Her Freedom
After One Year.

Society is going to make what
amends it can to Miss Louise Bolts
26, Brazil, from whom it unjustly
has taken a year of her life.
The victim of mistaken identity
Miss Bolts is to leave the Indiana
WomanS Prison next week with a
full pardon from Gov. McNutt for
her conviction in Howard County
Nov. %, 1884, on forgery charges.
For more than year Miss Bolts
has waited on tables at the prison
washed dishes and performed the
other mental tasks which a part OF
an inmates life-all because she
apparently has double in Kokomo
Never in KokOmo
Miss Bolts was sentenced to two
to four years Imprisonment for the
forgery conviction, at which she in
sisted she never had been in Ko-
komo until she was arrested and
brought from her home in Clay
County. She charged the evidence
against her must Lave been plant
However, her Identification bv a
kokomo merchant as the woman
who caShed fraudulent check at
his store sent her to the womens
prison
While an inmate, Miss Bolts con-
tinued to maintain she was inno-
cent of the charge. Mrs. Marian F
Gallup, prison superintendent, in
terested herself in the case and
made an investigation early this
year.
The State Clemency Commission
opened an inquiry and assigned an
investigator to the case. His theory
that Miss Bolts was the victim of
mistaken identity was strengthened
by reports from Kokomo that the
same woman who had cashed
fraudulent checks a year ago, had
caShed one recently.
Identifies Her Picture
The investigator took several pho
tographs, including one of Miss
Bolts, to Kokomo and showed them
to the victimized merchant. He
picked out Miss Bolts photograph
as that of the check passer.
He was quite surprised" to put it
mildly, that the woman whose pic
ture he had identified had been in
prison a year.
Now Gov. McNutt has granted
Miss Bolts a pardon on recon-
mendation of Mrs. Gallup and the
clemency commission. Thus Miss
Bolts will walk out of prison next
week in possession of an asset of
doubtful value-a demand note
against Society calling for one year
of life"
