Peters Takes Stand in Perjury Trial Involving City Aldermen
The Peters perjury trial continued in Supreme Court with William Clifford testifying that Peters offered $50 for a vote for Recorder. Peters denied the $500 bribe for Municipal Ownership League aldermen and said the plan favored Palmieri for Palmieri’s committee votes. Cornelius Noonan and others testified about agreements to vote for Palmieri and Cowing, with Peters insisting the payout claim was false.
