Judge Holds Jordan on Cheating Charge in Produce Scam
A preliminary hearing in Justice H. H. Glatke's court bound Jordan of Bancroft over to the grand jury on charges of cheating by false weights. The case stems from a shipment weighed by the railway company’s scales that showed a 1500 to 2000 pound shortfall. Evidence cited includes a shrinker device that alters scale readings, and testimony about a discharged employee who allegedly supplied the device to Jordan. No direct convicting evidence was presented at the hearing.
