Atlanta Constitution - 28 Mar 1935
Notice of an application for parole for Sam Aiken, who escaped from Fulton tower after he had been sentenced to death for the slaying of his wife in 1929, was posted at the courthouse Wednesday. Aiken is serving a life sentence at the state farm. He also was charged with the slaying of Boyce Hunter, his neighbor, but was never tried for that offense.
Aiken escaped from the tower in August, 1930 in company with another man then under death sentence, but was captured in Houston, Texas in 1932, where he was operating a restaurant under an assumed name. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in March, 1933.
