Free James Titus!
How do you free someone who has been dead for 57 years?

Write to President Obama and tell him about James Titus (b. 1857 - d. 1952).

Titus served almost nineteen years doing hard labor in the New Jersey State Prison because he was a little guy prone to panic attacks and the newspapers in New York, Trenton and Philadelphia were angry because the 1886 Tillie Smith Rape and Murder case in Hackettstown, NJ was a dead end.

You can do everything you can to spread the word that James Titus needs a Presidential Pardon.

Stay tuned for more developments.

This man is gone. His family is wiped out.

The Hackettstown Historical Society still sells T-shirts that say "Got Ghosts?" and incessantly talk about "Tillie's Ghost." They get real quiet when you try to bring up the subject of James Titus' innocence.

The real killer will never been found, but James Titus doesn't have to be a prisoner anymore.

Remember Tillie Smith! Remember James Titus!

Warm Regards,
