Grand Jury To Eye Barton's Statement On Ousting City Manager
Huntington West Virginia AP Cabell County Prosecutor John Cummings says a grand jury will probe City Manager Dick Barton's claim that organized crime influenced his ouster. The council voted 4 2 to suspend Barton amid loss of confidence. Barton says criminals pressured the town to permit gambling and prostitution and offered him 10 000 a month to fire Police Chief Adkins. He reported the offer to the chief but no witnesses were available. The grand jury is set to convene next month starting September 13. Councilman Bill Toney requested the probe. Malott denies pressure claims. Barton is willing to testify.
