I!, WenWsalellf UQ QQ fl lawiniHiiwynr " ui refers Witness Admits 'Framing" Vic tim Ir Allentown Theatre Fire, Says Rumer MAN WENT TO JAIL ALONE A mnn walked up la the deer of the Extern Penitentiary, en November 8, m2t. nlene nnd unattended, and pre sented te the doorkeeper papers whlcln committed him te tuat institution 10 serve six years en ari arson eharge. Today, or In the near, future, there i mere than a geed chance that the tttne man will be allowed te walk free ly out the same deer, exonerated of the crime which placed him behind the bars. The man is Frank Emmctt, of Al Al lentewn, who was accused of burning the Lyceum Theatre, i'n his town. Four tears after the flames had devoured the linicture Emmett wan arrested. Four men had gene te the authorities, In re sponse te n huge reward, and claimed Emmett was the man who had applied the torch, A strong rumor that Rey Wcrnett, the chief of these witnesses against Emmett, has recanted nnd admitted Emmett was Innocent, has reached puch proportions that it is belng Invcs tljated by the authorities. Went te Prison Alone Emmett was much in the public eye from the time of hiB arrest te the time of his surrender at the Enstern Penitentiary. In the first place it at tracted great attention when he was wrested nearly four years after the fire he was accused of starting. Again he had two trials, replete with sensa tional features. Then when he found that, while he was 6ut en $12,000 ball, the Court had refused te notice his latest appeal, he went te the court ceurt court heuso and surrendered, offering te go te the prison alone. He was allowed te go by himself and (here was great public interest in his trip. And then, suddenly, it developed that Emmctt "was missing. He had net arrived at the tlme he nheuld have. Just as the nutherltic decided the honor sjstem of Warden MeKcnty was a fallure Emmett turned up. It de veloped he had come te this city from Mlcntewn by the way of Harrisburg; his purpose being te bid his wife fare well. She was employed as n cashier in a motion-picture theatre in the State capital. Since hia incarceration Lmtnett has been a model prisoner, He has never admitted his guilt, but en the ether hand he hns net constantly reiterated his innocence. This steady plea en the part of the majority of prisoners rupldly sets te be a bore to'prisen officials. lew prisoners will admit their guilt. Em mett eimply has net discussed it. There was 880,000 insurance en the (heatre Emmctt is accused of burning. Several empleyes testified he had hired them te HCt fire te the structure, but none could bring out that he had ob tained mero than an old organ out of the blaze. The chief witness against llm was Itey Wcrnett. One Witness ltecants It new nppenrs certain that Wcrnett has appeared before a magistrate and made a sworn statement that he Ilc(t m the witness stand. At the time of Emmett'u conviction there was much talk of a "frame-up." This was se strong that after his first conviction the Pennsylvania Superior Court or dered n new trial, but the result of that was the name. Lawrence II. Rupp, former Deme-' cratic State chairman, and attorney for , Hramett, has always expressed his i strong belief in his client's innocence, ' and is new investigating te usccrtain if i the rumors of Wernett's recanting arc i founded en fact. If they are, it is like- , lv the United Stntcs courts will be' brought into the ense, and it is mere than possible that before long the heavy doers of the penitentiary will swing open as easily and willingly te release him as they did te admit him a few months age.
