Al Cowlings, driving the white Bronco, emerged with hands raised as officers closed in. A handwritten letter from Simpson denied involvement in Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman’s deaths and pleaded for peace for his children.

Tazewell PSA eyes meeting on Bluefield water line fate
A tentative meeting date between the Tazewell County Public Service Authority and Bluefield Virginia could be set next week to decide the fate of a proposed water line to the Bluefield Divides. PSA Administrator Jim Spencer said the board will consider dates June 27 or 28 but the town may request a later date. The town seeks joint action with PSA and county over a water and sewer extension past Lewes into the Divides, with about 140 dollars funding at stake if extensions are not agreed, tied to a 1986 escrow for Bluefield Industrial Park needs.
