EDDIETORIAL . . . The fact that tlie FBI returned atl the furs taken
in that recent quick raid on MAC PJBRKY'S Appel Fura, Inc. was
welcomed news by all his friends and customers who would not pass
quick judgmsnt but waited until the Investigation was completed . . .
And that's a good thing because too many people are too quick to
accuse prematurely without the full facts . . . MAC PERHY is highly
Tcsjwctcd in' Freeport business and social circles and- this type of
suspicion, even thougli temporary, is too dark a cloud without the
added Jiqnrtoches ot quick and faasc}C!>s accusations . . .^Professional
compliiirent& are to be extended to ATrv. CHARUES C. MEHRMANN
who serws as Mr.'Peny'a lawyer and burned midnight oil in preparing
_the case.
