The Road to Innocence Could this happen to you?
For most of us, the view of an innocent person being sent to prison for a crime they did not commit comes
only through the pages of a novel or a movie such as Alfred Hitchcock’s The Wrong Man. For Roger Dean
Gillispie, it was real life.
Meet Roger Dean Gillispie at the Scheben Branch on
Wednesday, October 19 at 6:30 p.m., when he shares his
experience serving 20 years in prison for a crime he didn’t
commit. Please register for this program so we can make accommodations
for everyone. Register for “The Road to Innocence” at www.bcpl.org/events
or call 342-Book (2665) and select Scheben Branch.
When Dean sat down with his family for Christmas dinner in December
of 2011, it was the first time he had done so in more than 20 years. Upon
his release from the London Correctional Institution, his family along with
friends from his high school years (who had chartered a bus) were there
to greet him. Earlier that month, the U.S District Court for the Southern
District of Ohio overturned Mr. Gillispie’s 1991 rape conviction. Work by
the Ohio Innocence Project on behalf of Dean began in 2003 and over
the years more than 20 law students worked on Mr. Gillispie’s case. The
Innocence Project spent five years researching and investigating, it was
not until 2008 that the case seeking his exoneration was finally brought to
court. Throughout this process, as an avid fisherman, it was the hope that
he would one day be free to fish again that allowed Dean to keep his sanity
during his imprisonment. Dean Gillispie’s case is discussed in great detail
in the book False Justice: Eight Myths that Convict the Innocent written by
former Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro and his wife Nancy. To read more
about the Ohio Innocence Project visit www.law.uc.edu/oip
In addition to Mr. Gillispie’s discussion of his experiences, staff from the
University of Cincinnati’s Lois and Richard Rosenthal Institute for Justice
Ohio Innocence Project will discuss their fascinating and important work.
Founded in 1992, the Innocence Project is an organization with networks
across the United States and around the globe whose mission is to exonerate
and support the innocent and redress the causes of wrongful conviction.
By providing pro bono legal and investigative services, the Innocence
Project assists those seeking to prove their innocence for crimes they did
not commit. Using methods such as DNA evidence not tested before trial, or
other types of new evidence, staff and students spend countless hours
The Road to Innocence is presented in conjunction with
University of Cincinnati and the Lois and Richard Rosenthal
Institute for Justice Ohio Innocence Project.

conducting research and meeting with inmates about their cases. Through
the exhaustive work of law students and staff at the Ohio Innocence Project,
23 individuals wrongly convicted of crimes have gained back their freedom.
“The Road to Innocence” is presented as part of BCPL’s involvement in
the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read. The NEA Big Read broadens
our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through
the joy of sharing a good book. Showcasing a diverse range of contemporary
titles that reflect many different voices and perspectives, the NEA Big Read
aims to inspire conversation and discovery. This year’s Big Read title is A
Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines. We encourage everyone to join us
in reading this book tied to themes of race, justice and dying with dignity. A
free copy of A Lesson Before Dying will be given to the first 100 people in
attendance at “The Road to Innocence” on October 19.

Horror on the River by Hillary Delaney, Local History Associate
A day of fun turned to tragedy on a
warm June evening in 1891. A group of
friends and co-workers who had spent
the day playing tennis in the hot sun
decided to take a small boat out on
the breezy Ohio River. That decision,
combined with poor visibility and even
poorer timing, cost the lives of five
carefree people.
The group consisted of: Thomas
Thurman, 54, Kitty Riddell, 35, and
Joseph Zins, Edith Zins and Katie Coxall under 25 years old. Thurman and
young Joseph worked for the Banner
Tobacco Company. Edith Zins was
Joseph’s younger sister, and Kitty Riddell
was their cousin. Katie Cox was the
fiancée of Joseph Zins. All of the group
lived in Cincinnati, with the exception
of Kitty Riddell, who was a Burlington
resident.
The party boarded their small
rowboat in the Riverside neighborhood
of Cincinnati. They had been lazily
floating downstream, when they decided
to cross the river, perhaps to head
toward the shores of Boone County. The
lights of the tugboat “Frank Gilmore”
headed downstream were clearly visible,
but the multiple barges she pushed did
not have lights. The small craft moved
directly into the path of the barges, with
no time to change course. A woman’s
Cincinnati Enquirer, 28 June 1891, p. 1
scream alerted a barge worker, who
was only able to see a “dark shape”
go beneath the barge. No bodies were
immediately recovered, only a woman’s
hat and several handkerchiefs.
Seth Foster, a cousin of the Zins and
Riddell, ran reward ads in the paper,
offering $50 apiece for the recovery of
Joseph, Katie, Edith and Kitty. His plea
would be answered by half within days
of the accident, though the other half
would take weeks.
Constance resident Levi Fox had
the misfortune of discovering the first
victim, two days after the accident. Fox
was crossing the river near the Anderson
Ferry, approaching Kentucky, when he
saw a dark shape floating in the water.
It was the body of Mr. Thurman, though
had it not been for his clothing and
graying hair, he would have been unrecognizable. That very same evening,
another man from Constance, William
Masters, spotted a pair of lifeless eyes
staring at him from the dark waters of
the river. It was Edith Zins. The river
surrendered the body of Kitty Riddell the
following day, near Aurora, IN, several
miles downstream from the previous
day’s ghastly discoveries.
The bodies of young lovers Katie
Cox and Joseph Zins would not be found
for nearly another two weeks, but within
one day and a couple of miles of each
other. Speculation was that the pair was
entwined in one another’s arms in a
watery grave for those many days.
