THE DoINGs IN ECORSE

Strange things are happening
in Ecorse as you may already
know. A big politician was raid
ed sometime ago for gambling
and was found guilty by one
of the city's judges. He was fin
ed Sll0 and sentenced TO five
days in Jail. The case was APP
pealed TO the circuit court but
when the trial started. they in
turn referred il back 10 the Judge
who first handled it. The pub
lie is demanding to know just
what became of the case. We
are wondering whether the law
in Ecorse makes a difference
in cases that are the same. The
citizens of Ecorse are CLOSELY
watching the actions of the adj
ministration and wish 70 warn
them that they should better
conceal the differences mades in
their judgments of various
Ecorse citizens.
We anticipate an explanation
Of this case in the Ecorse Ad-
vertiser.
