Perry County grand jury to hear escape case and more
John E Ballinger, who escaped from the Junction City Ohio penitentiary in 1954, will be among cases to be examined by the Perry County grand jury this week after arraignment on escape charges. Ballinger, 39, serving 2 to 6 years for forgery in Preble County, was returned to custody after capture in West Virginia. The report also notes state land trust money allocations to counties, a limestone donation drive by the Rome Daugherty Stone Co, a Spanish brick industry visit to New Lexington, and 4-H and literary awards associated with Perry County.
