Phone Threat Disrupts State Banker's Trial
The trial of Milwaukee banker Howard Meister moves into day two after a disrupted opening and a sequestered jury panel. A reported telephone threat against Dane County District Attorney James Bell prompted the judge to keep the 28 panel members in a La Crosse hotel overnight. Meister, a former Milwaukee County party leader, faces charges of directing a lobbyist to offer money to influence a vote on branch banking legislation in 1965. The court postponed proceedings and ordered continued sequestration while the case remains in Dane County.
