Arguments in Thayer Case at Half Way Mark
Half the arguments in the Albert L. Thayer bribery case were finished when court adjourned at noon Monday. Judge Krchbaum would decide whether to charge the jury now or Tuesday morning. Prosecutor James M. Aunger outlined the state's claim that Thayer solicited a $7500 bribe from Melbourne Construction Co to change plans and cause linoleum to be bought for $7,713. Defense attorney Walter Ruff argued Thayer did not benefit from any alleged bribe and suggested the case may hinge on whether the bribery occurred on August 15.
