Jackson's Protest Upheld Over Milk Fine
In a common pleas ruling May 7 8 the court voided a 28 cent per gallon milk board fine against Alderman Jackson. The judge called the fine flagrantly wrong and said a principal cannot be criminally liable for an agent's act without directing it. Jackson had argued milk prices were fixed unreasonably by the milk control board while he directed investigators to farms. He vowed to go to jail if that would reveal farmers are exploited by milk dealers through the milk commission.

Harrisburg weighs plea for Brune brothers in 1934 massacre case
In Harrisburg on May 18 the State board weighed the parole petition of James and Alfred Brune, sons of Joseph Brune, serving ten to twenty years for the death of William Ferke amid the 1934 Kelayres massacre dispute. Their lawyer argued they played a minor role, had no proven link to the five deaths or 22 injuries, and shots were fired only into the air during a torchlight parade. Lieutenant Governor Samuel Lewis showed little support for further clemency while debates over former physician Harry Zimmerly’s illegal operation case continued, with relatives opposing release and the house cited as potential apartments.
