Who Is It?

As mentioned in the Argus yesterday among the more important bills noticed in the house Thursday was one by Rep. Wheeler to compensate persons who are shown to be innocent after having been charged with or convicted of a crime.

"I don't believe any state has such a law," he said, "and I think it would be a good thing for Michigan to set an example. A man belonging in my district lay in prison 32 years for a crime of which he was proved innocent, and he got not a cent to recompense him for such undeserved punishment."
