THREE INNOCENT
 MEN LEAVE JAIL
Trio Serves Seven Years Before Real RObber Con- .
 feSses to Police

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 26-UP) Three men who had insisted dur ing seven years of prison life that they did not rob the bank of Berry, Ala, went home today with apol- ogies and full pardons from the state pardon and parole board. Con- fesSion of a man who said he was one of the real robbers brought hteir freedom.
 They said they were not embit- tered by their experiences, and the board said their convictions in 1883 came about through strange CO., incidence"
 Hardened after serving seven years of 10 to 25 year sentences were Glenn Davis, 30, and Herschell McCarn, 34, both of Birmingham, and Bill Hathaway, 33, of Empire, Ala. They were convicted in 1883 of robbing the Berry Bank of $5, ,23775
 Davis, informed that he and his friends would be freed late yester- day, first asked permission to tele- phone his mother in Birmingham.
 I've been saying we were inno- cent all these years" he said. Nov, thank heaven, someone believes us. I'm not embittered, but I certainly am glad to get out. only hope our experience will make people more positive when they put folks like us us on the spot"
 In freeing the men, the board said the conviction was due ot the "re- markable resemblance" of Davis, McCarn and Hathaway to the guil- ty parties.
