Paroled bootleggers tied to Erie County case and victim identified
Bootleggers are among those paroled as Erie County officials face a stalled case involving a bootlegging parole. A railroad accident near Union City led to the death of a 39 year old man when a protruding rod crushed his skull after a train struck him. Identification came via arrival of a relative in Union City. County Commissioner Davis says many bootleggers exist and urges full investigation before releasing any prisoner under the insolvency act.
