Special Grand Jury May Be Called to Reindict Daugherty
Judge Washburn signals willingness to convene a special grand jury to reindict Jake Daugherty who was paroled last week. County officials denounce his release as outrageous and say Daugherty and James Benson assaulted and robbed Worthy Streator, a B and O conductor, at Lorain, with Streator nearly dying. The pair then attacked jail guard Steve Wood during an escape attempt, were recaptured, and later convicted and sent to the penitentiary. Daugherty had reportedly been diagnosed with consumption before his release.
