In a case tied to Mayor Bunch and others, Williams allegedly obtained a government letterhead, arranging for a forged letter and printing.

Testimony described attempted violence between Robert Crabs and Art Bunker and outlined a broader graft scheme linked to the blind tiger trade and campaign funds, with figures nearing $2000 cited. The judge postponed contempt actions until after the trial, as witnesses painted a large network of corruption.
