(AP) — Pub lishers Clearing House went on trial over its sweepstakes promotions for the first time Wednesday, with state lawyers accusing it of preying on the elderly with misleading advertising. State lawyer Cynthia Hirsch said the sweepstakes’ mailings dupe peo ple into buying magazines and other merchandise in hopes of improving their chances of winning the jack pots, which can run into the millions. “The essential misleading de ception Publishers Clearing House communicates is the more you buy, the closer you get to the big prize,” she said. In the civil case, the state is seek ing an unspecified amount of money to reimburse residents it says were defrauded. It also wants the sweep- stakes to change its marketing prac tices and pay a penalty. In August, Publishers Clearing House agreed to pay $18 million to 24 states and the District of Colum bia to settle allegations it uses de ceptive promotions. Wisconsin, which sued Publishers Clearing House last year, was not part of that settlement. Publishers Clearing House attor ney Jon Axelrod said the state’s own witnesses would say they knew they had little chance of win ning and did not have to buy any thing to enter the drawing He said people did not till were misled until Attomeyi| Jim Doyle sued.

News in Brief Police officer shot in four-hour stand Missing boy fow frozen in woods DELLWOOD, Mo. (AP| — A po- lice officer was shot and killed in what authorities say was a cold blooded ambush that triggered a four-hour standoff before the sus pect surrendered. Thomas Meek, 43, was charged on Wednesday with first- degree murder. The standoff began after Sgt. Richard Eric Weinhold, 44, and three officers were called to a home in St. Louis County on Tuesday. A tenant said he was afraid to ap proach the house because the sus pect was inside and had earlier pointed a shotgun at him. Weinhold was hit by a shotgun blast shortly after the officers en tered. His bulletproof vest could not save him, and he later died at a hospital.
