Signatures on Petition Against Schaefer Heated in Court
In circuit court the Civic Alliance challenged signatures on a petition against Schaefer of the Fourth ward seeking to renew a saloon license. Witnesses for the defense appeared biased and questioned. The saloon keeper and his lawyers sought to prove petitions signed improperly or by nonconsenting relatives, slowing the process. Elsewhere Hampton and Cassidy face murder-related charges with possible release if continuance granted. A new six-month grand jury was named with members from multiple townships.
