SCANDALOUS ATTACK ON
SHIELDS BY Law BREAKER

Stark county, McCrea was indicted.
tried, convicted and sentenced for
keeping disorderly house in Canton,
The evidence at his trial showed that
intoxicating liquor was sold in his
house on Sunday, that gambling was
carried on and that prostitution was
permitted, all in violation of law. The
case was taken on appeal to the ap.
pellate court, and the action of the
common pleas court in convicting
McCrea of the offense of keeping a
disorderly house was affirmed, the
opinion of the court being prepared
by Judge Shields.
The appeal of such man as Nc
Crea, convicted of the practices the
evidence showed against him, to the
voters of this appellate district to de-
feat Judge Shields, ought to act as a
boomerang, now that the facts of his
disreputable character have been re.
vealed.
