Groppi Trial Date Set After September Demonstration
A tentative trial date of January 22 was set for Rev. James E. Groppi and four other demonstrators charged with violating a Brookfield anti-picketing ordinance during a September march to Madison. Judge Harrold J. Wollenzien scheduled trials after pleas of innocence were entered. The group, part of about 85 marchers from Milwaukee to the state capital, protested cuts to county welfare aid. They were arrested September 21 outside State Rep. Kenneth Merkel's Brookfield home, amid a pre march demonstration. The ordinance, adopted days earlier, was challenged as restricting free speech and petition rights. Wollenzien noted the need to protect peaceful activity at a citizen's home.
