Mayor Sullivan Moves Court To New Quarters
Mayor Sullivan shifts the police court from the old quarters to the council chamber for a three hour session while renovations finish. The reform includes a model layout with a reporters bench and barbed wire on desks to deter interruptions. Attorney Orton argues for William Harley, discharged on a technicality as to an alleged association with a former inmate. The burglary case against Berry Robinson proceeds after a late night burglary at 135 N. Pennsylvania St. yields $50 in cash and two watches, with Robinson later arrested.
