Innocent

Noah Lerner, jaunty young electrician who was arrested a week ago on the charge of homicide, in connection with the Wall Street bomb of September 16, 1920, is again free. It was alleged that he boasted in Siberia that he knew the driver of "the little red wagon" of Death. He was arrested in New York and held in the Tombs without bail. His case was dismissed on May 21, there being no evidence.

Lerner had been engaged by the Soviet Russian Government without pay to erect radios in Kemarova, Russia. He had Communist affiliations. As a known radical it was apparently considered worth while to arrest him first and investigate afterwards. He is the 29th innocent man that the police have "suspected" as responsible for the bomb outrage.
