The trial of George Dale, the embattled Mayor of Muncie, Indiana, has begun, and the allegations are mounting. Dale faces charges of involvement in a liquor plot, alongside nine other defendants. The prosecution’s case hinges on the testimony of William Jeffrey, who claims that Dale was installed as mayor by the efforts of bootleggers. Jeffrey’s shocking statement accuses Dale and co-defendant Joseph Massey of orchestrating the transportation of liquor to the 1930 Indiana political convention in Muncie.
