Colchester Man Pleads Guilty to Kidnapping Charge
In Burlington, 41 year old Joseph Fred Bishop pleaded guilty to kidnapping a 13 year old girl on June 20. He withdrew an earlier innocent plea after being returned from Seaside California where FBI agents found him with Linda Blackford of Winooski. The girl was unharmed and a pre sentence investigation was ordered. In Montpelier, Ernest W. Gibson said the St Johnsbury and Lamoille County railroad may receive a second tax abatement to ease unusual maintenance costs and bolster its cash position after last year’s suspension of 6500 dollars.
