Grand Jury Report Alleges Durr and Hayden Obstructed Justice
A Cincinnati grand jury report accuses Clerk Peter Durr and Bailiff William Hayden of obstructing justice by summoning a witness to their private office for questioning in a blackmail and extortion case tied to gambling in Millcreek township. The panel also notes two sealed indictments and cites the witness Killian Strasser as closeted for memory refreshment. Judge Gorman said he would act on appointing a committee or refer the matter to the prosecutor, while Durr denied leaks coming from his office.
