Grand Jury quits in eight indicted gambling probe
In Pontiac Michigan a hearing was set on summoning a grand jury to probe the death by arson of Teamsters Local 614 business agent Frank Kierdorf. Atty Gen. Adams and Oakland County prosecutor filed a petition based on testimony by Mrs. Irish Harrelson, 40, claiming ex-husband Jeann Harrelson knew Kierdorf’s fate. Two others, Mrs. Mary Ann Thon and Herman Kierdorf, were jailed or rearrested as the probe expands. The indictments tied to a separate gambling tax case involve $2.266 million in bets and hint at a larger football and World Series era scandal.
