October 24, 1936 issue

add to cart   close window

What threatens to be a second mooney case is shaping up in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Emerson Jennings of that city and Charles Harris of Scranton have just been convicted of bombing the automobile of Judge W. Alfred Valentine on March 28, 1935. Jennings is a printer who on a number of occasions has had the temerity to write articles criticizing the Luzerne County courts in their conduct of miners' trials. More than that, he was one of seven to sign a petition asking the impeachment of Judge Valentine for serving as "inquisitor, judge, jury and committing magistrate" in a miners' case.
