Abbott Counsel Attacks Joint Trial Ruling
Abbott and Cyril Gordon are co defendants in the murder of Morris Abbott on June 1. Mrs Marie Conn Abbott 40 filed a motion in Common Pleas Court asking Judge Fred B Cramers order for a joint trial on July 20 be vacated. The motion argues a joint trial violates Mrs Abbott s constitutional rights as an individual. An opinion in Hamilton suggests the issue could go to the court of appeals and possibly a federal court.

Canton Gas Field Quietly Dries Up
The Canton natural gas field, once Ohio’s largest, is drying up. East Ohio Gas Co. pulled 80 million cu ft daily in April 1947 but now only 30 million cu ft with similar effort, cutting owners’ income from 16,000 to 6,000 dollars per day. Experts say output will fall further, likely making wells unprofitable by spring 1950.
