MaWAUKEE(AP)-An utborwho
escaped from a lynch mob 62 years ago
in Indiana has received a pardon for a
conviction that he yswas rigged by a
jury: K1 lOan heri "
lame Cam ron, 78, founder of
Am 's Black Holocaust \BeWl1 in
·I�aukee, was 16 when he aOO two,
companions were dragged from a.jail-in
Marion, Ird., after being accused of
murdering a white man and raping his
companion. ,
Cameron, author of U A Time of
Terror," said his two companions were
hanged. Trere was a rope around his
neck when someone in the crowd came
to his defense ard he was returned to
jail, he said. . .
After four years in prison for being
an acce sory to vol untary
, manslaughter, he was paroled. He
began petitioning in 1991-for a pardon.
Indiana Gov. Evan Bayh issued the
pardon Thursday, saying Cameron
"has remained crime-free for 61
years" and has • 'earned the confidence
and support from his peers in the com­
munity."
manJ<KphL Smith said ina telepoone
interview.
It means the state "forgives you for
that crime," Smith id. "It does not
c the record. n
HIt's qui 'an emotional thing,"
Cameron said after getting the news in
a call from Smith. "I'm going to pray
tonight."
He said there may be a celebration
when � next vi its Marion. He was in
the community Iest month for the Blaqc
History Council of Marion's celebra­
tion of Martin Luther King Jr.'s
birthday.
"The wbole city, I think, is going to
join in," Cameron said.
Cameron's cousin 1)lomas Wise, a
Marion police detective, said Cameron
"has really lived a model life since that
incident If be would have his slate
cleared, that would mean an awful lot
to him."
A publisher plans another printing
of Cameron's book. He said it will con­
tain new information about a sheriff
who he says was a Ku Klux Klan mem­
ber at the time of the incident Aug. 7,
1930;and about grandjwy records that
show "it was a put-up job."
