Dale tied to blackmail and a jailed girl case at Fairmont
Loretta Luller, a high school graduate and organist from a respected family, lies ill in the county jail as authorities pursue J C Dale on charges of immoral schemes. Dale admitted blackmail after police produced a letter forged to look like his handwriting and signed as Harry Miller, while Bricks refused his vicious plan. Dale faces potential penitentiary time as investigators gather evidence of gambling and white slave promotion.
