DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and the Legal Chronicle
FRANK G. SCHEMANSKE
Among the numerous important
cases that he handled, two of the
outstanding were the Jerry Buck-
ley slaying and the Jackie Thomp-
son kidnapping cases.
In June, 1937, he was appointed
an assistant United States Attor-
ney under John C. Lehr, where
he was assigned as attorney for
the Secret Service, Post Office,
Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. The experience he
gained as a member of the De-
partment of Justice will be in-
valuable to him as Prosecutor.
He resigned this post in April,
1938, to become a member of the
Michigan Public Utilities Com-
mission. As the Detroit member
of this commission he wrote the
Opinion in the rate case involv-
ing. the Michigan Consolidated
Gas Company, giving the state
of Michigan jurisdiction over the
city in the question of gas rates.
This opinion was upheld by the
Supreme Court. As a result, an
order will soon be handed down
by the Commission reducing gas
rates in Detroit.
Schemanske is a native Detroit-
er, born here 41 years ago. He
served in the Army in the World
War . and was admitted to law
practice after the war ended.
