Nurenberger Case Dropped Amid Prosecution Fallout
The government plans to drop further prosecution of the Frederick Nurenberger case, once a Richland County farmer and former Ohio resident accused of defrauding the U S government. He allegedly recruited old soldiers and others to homestead in Ward County, promising deeds after filing fees were paid. He was convicted years ago, with a stay of judgment and new trial granted. Also notice: two houses for sale at 8th Street and Delaware Avenue and farm loan arrangements offered by Ink and Wallace, W A Baker, A Aspinwall, and S F Schneller.
