Lawrence Case Goes To Jury At Noon In Dauphin County
Dauphin county jurors, six men and six women, began deliberations at 12:05 p m to decide if Democratic state chairman David L Lawrence conspired to funnel favors to a gravel firm and withheld political contributions from the state War Chest. Judge Hughes urged a verdict only if doubt is removed, noting circumstantial evidence dominates the case. The defense pointed to Bowser’s Pioneer Materials Co as the main witness against Lawrence, with Bowser testifying of payments reportedly demanded by Lawrence.
