...federal grand jury in Brooklyn handed down five, four of them involving Philadelphians. Two are Democratic Congressmen: Michael ("Ozzie") Myers and Raymond Lederer. The others: Philadelphia Councilman Louis Johanson, Attorney Howard Criden and Camden (N.J.) Mayor Angelo Errichetti. All are charged with conspiracy to commit bribery and defraud the U.S. They could receive prison terms of up to 25 years and fines of at least...
