** FILE** In this May 13, 1986, file photograph, Sharpe James leaves a polling place after voting in Newark's mayoral election at the Galilee Baptist Church in Newark, N.J. James appeared at the U.S. courthouse Thursday, July 12, 2007, without commenting on speculation that he'll be indicted on federal corruption charges. The investigation reportedly centers on James' role in a series of cut-rate land deals sold to politically connected developers, and his travel expenses in his last weeks in office.
