No Indictments for Election Lotteries
A Federal grand jury meeting in St. Louis says no indictments will be issued over lotteries used to boost votes in the 1946 general election across Scott Dunklin and Pemiscot counties. The jurors condemn the failure of local prosecutors in St. Louis County and southeast Missouri to convict after alleged ballot irregularities. They urge immunity for witnesses and urgent changes to Missouri election laws to allow effective prosecutions. Federal panel calls for law revisions and action by state lawmakers.
