TAYLOR COUNTY
COURT OUSTED
Member Who Escaped From the
Movement Which Gets Other
Two Has His Own Troubles.

GRAFTON, March At. w. Heir
! pnimus and W. Fl. Goodwin, members
Of the Taylor County board of COM
naissioners, were ousted from Office
ny Judge Warren B. Kittle in the
Circuit Court yesterday because they
are alledged to have appropriated
$500 of the general fund to pay their
expenses and those of the county
engineer to an exhibition of road ma
chinery and modern road construc-
ton in Chicago in January are still in
q lot of trouble. They are under in
dictment by the grand jury of Tay-
Tor county for alledged misappropri-
alton of funds. They are also under
indictment in Barbour county for
having moonshine liquor in their
possession at joint meeting of the
Taylor and Barbour county commits
&ioners held in Barbour county sew
Nral months ago.
John Ross, third member of the
Taylor court whos was also named
in the impeachment proceedings
brought yesterday and who was re-
tanned in Office by the judges order
is also under indictment by the Tay-
Jor county grand jury. But since
MS exhoneration of participation in
the appropriation it is presumed the
indictments in this county will be
dropped.
But Commissioner Ross is said to
have quite few kinks to straighten
out in Barbour county circuit court.
He is not only under indictment with
The other commissioners on the
Yaoonshine charge but it is also al
legged that while driving his automo-
bile in an intoxicated condition he
struck small boy in the road in
Barbour county.
It was learned today that the
ousted commissioners are going to
fight the proceedings to the last
ditch. Judge Kittle granted coun-
sci thirty days grace from the rising
Of the court to perfect an appeal and
this means that the accused men will
remain in Office until that expiration
at least.
The question of what effect Judge
Kittle's order will have on officials
in other counties of West Virginia
where supreme court sustains him
was raised in street conversations
about the case today.
