47 Cases Listed For Term Of Court At Erie
Alleged violation of prohibition laws by James Dennis of this city dominates the docket as 47 cases will be tried at the November term of the criminal court convening at 9 oclock at the Erie courthouse. Officials believe the full list may be finished within the week as 84 jurors are summoned for duty. Among the high profile matters is the indictment of Carl Benton and John P. Higgins for allegedly stealing about 5000 dollars in jewelry from the Hirsch store in Erie.

Dennis himself is set to go on trial in county court this afternoon at 1 oclock, with witnesses from the city summoned against the alleged bootlegger linked to a raid on the Imperial Hotel where he was proprietor.
