Judge G Thomas Eisele Offers to Quit Gillham Dam Case
U S District Judge G Thomas Eisele said he would disqualify himself from the Gillham Dam suit unless all parties request him to stay by Thursday. He cited his children’s stock in a trust fund tied to Weeyerhouser Corp which owns land below the dam site. Environmentalists seek to halt construction on the Cossatot River, arguing it would end the last free-flowing stream in the Ouachita Mountains. Richard S. Arnold's office said plaintiffs’ letter indicated no objection to Eisele remaining on the case.
