Fayette Pled Innocent To Influence Peddling Indictments
Two Vermont men face federal charges after pleas of not guilty were entered in Brattleboro. Sen. Frederick J. Fayette and Frederick A. Flint appeared before U.S. District Judge Ernest W. Gibson with cases bound for Montpelier. The indictments concern a 1963 St. Johnsbury postmastership contest in which payments and influence were allegedly exchanged for an appointive office. The 1963 Handley case and political ties to the St. Johnsbury Democratic Party figure Ned Handy are cited in the document. The term opens September 12 in Montpelier.
