Witnesses Testify To Drawing Pay But Doing No Work
Prosecution nears closing in a case against former highways secretary Rey E. Brownmiller. Witnesses from Luzerne County testified that workers did no actual labor while being paid, with job cards signed by Democratic ward committeemen and trucks taking men to woods where they sat idle. Evidence linked Brownmiller to payroll padding prior to the 1938 election, as testimony described 16 year olds and others receiving checks for work not performed.
