Key Witness Still Missing Delays Dauphin County Trial
Harrisburg June 28 A second trial tied to the Dauphin County grand jury probe of the Earle administration was postponed as a material witness could not be located. The case involves two Pittsburgh insurance men and a former state highways chief accused of conspiring to monopolize handling of road contracts in Pennsylvania.

The defendants also include James Kirk, a Pittsburgh insurance man and county Democratic leader, Victor Blake, and A. H. Tempid, with the case linked to former Gov. George H. Earle’s highway department era.
