McKean County criticizes secret agent probe at Melceun

In a McKean Democrat letter from Smethport the writer denounces a secret undercover investigator hired to testify in trials set for next week. The author questions deputy sheriff input and warns such actions risk imprisoning citizens on dubious evidence amid harsh liquor law enforcement. The piece cites Detective Jack Allison’s rigorous methods and calls for a fair, new approach to Prohibition enforcement. The author urges the MeKean county grand jury to reject out of court convictions and promotes justice and decency.
