Sisters Win Judgment Against Brother in Timber Suit
In Charleston a common pleas court jury awarded sisters Virginity B. Tompkins and Slicer $1,448.95 against their brother T. S. Tompkins of St. Albans.

The defendant said sisters already received their share and any increase was due to a son of the defendant who was compensated.
