Deadline Friday On Jury Probe
Dauphin County District Attorney LeRoy S. Zimmerman has until Friday to show the need for a grand jury investigation of Harrisburg city government conduct in 1966-67. Judge James Bowman said if the need isn’t shown, Zimmerman's petition for the blue ribbon panel would be dismissed. Zimmerman claimed misconduct by three councilmen, a city engineer, and a city inspector and sought subpoenas via the grand jury. Bowman noted the audit by Main LaFrentz and Co covering 1967-68 failed to prove the need for an extraordinary remedy. The county court’s ruling cites the seven month probe by a staff including State Police as lacking evidence of obstruction.
