Erie Mayor Liebel to face jury under corrupt practices act
Erie Pa Jan 14 Michael Liebel mayor of the city will be required to answer in the court of common pleas next March to prove his right to office under an order by President Judge Emory A Walling.

The attorney general issued a quo warranto suggestion and the court upheld the act while ordering Liebel to file his answer within fifteen days. The proceeding has heightened local interest as Liebel seeks reelection on the Democratic ticket in February.
