Eleven More Indictments Against Piggers Reported
Bismarck ND December 6 The Mandan grand jury returned eleven additional indictments against piggers. Five men were jailed with bonds of 500 dollars for trial this term. One man faced a 1000 dollar bond and a charge for running a house of prostitution. One indicted man served as a petit juror. The total indictments reach twenty eight with the jury still at work. The defense seeks to quash the indictments over irregular grand jury drawing. The panel reportedly aims to indict all booze sellers since last March per Governor Burke’s earlier directive.
