J. E. DICKER5QN IS
GRANTEIM PAROLE
Released From Federal Prison
At Atlanta After Serving
Over Half of Sentence.
J. E. Dikcrson, who has been serv
ing a term In the federal prison in
Atlanta for conspiracy In the failure i
of the First National bank of Asne-
ville about 17 years ago, has been re
leased on parole and returned to hlB
home here yesterday. He had serv
ed almost 14 months of the sentence,
having been commltteed to the pris
on on a mlttemus Issued by Judge
James E. Boyd, presiding at -the May,
1913, term of United States District
court here,
Parole on good behavior may be
applied for by prisoners in the Fed
eral penitentiary after one-third of
the sentence has been served, and it
was on good behavior that Mr. Dick
rnn was released. The move to
have him paroled began several '
months ago, although no publicity
was given the matter. Very few peo- j
pie here knew that any action in this '
direc tion had toen taken until Mr. J
Dlckerson artgved here from Atlanta
yesterday, lie was released Sunday
night and came immediately to Ashe-i
vlile.
His case In the United States courts
was one of the hardest fought ever I
originating in the Western North Car
olina district. He was tried con
Jointly wlthW. E. Breese of Brevard,
anotther Officer of the defunct bank
ing Institution, and both were convict
ed. Tho case dragged through the
courts for about 16 years on appeals.
A phase of It was taken the Supreme
court of the United States on a writ of
error, but no error was fouind and
the Circuit Court of Appears confirm
ed the anding of the jury and the
sentence of two years In the Fed
eral prison and a fine of $2600 for
each of the defendants.
This decision was handed down
about 18 months ago and Mr. Dicker
son was commltteed at the May term
following. Mr. Breese Is still at lib
erty, reports of physicians having been
to the effect that he Is too 111 to be re
moved from his home tn Krevard to
Atlanta.
