Pearson Testifies In Charlotte Police Probe
Washington columnist Drew Pearson testifies before a Mecklenberg grand jury in Charlotte about irregularities in police conduct. He says he named witnesses who could help the committee and argues solicitor Basil Whitener should recuse himself due to joint property with Chief Frank Littlejohn. Pearson asserts the grand jury asked him to disclose joint Crescent Beach cottage ownership and that his witness list was publicly published to hinder the investigation. He also implicates a gambling racket with police payoffs and confirms his role as a voice witness after subpoenas.
