Unionists May Beat 2 Charges in Orange County Case
In Santa Ana Superior Court Judge Raymond H. Thompson ordered the jury to acquit labor leaders Charles E Red Devine and Harry Lehman of conspiracy to bribe charges tied to liquor license graft. The defense argued the grand jury indictment omits named officials, while the prosecutor warned he may ask jurors to disregard the ruling. The trial, now in its second week, continues on remaining charges as testimony points to payments tied to a Newport Beach liquor license and a Costa Mesa seasonal permit.
