Jefferson C60 seeks county relief in libel case hearing
January 4 report from Punxsutawney states a Harrisburg hearing January 8 before Judge W S McLean on allocating trial costs of the Margiotti libel suit to Jefferson County. Raymond F Brown will argue only taxable costs under $1,000, while the county argues the Supreme Court ruling assigns all prosecution costs to Jefferson. The Inquirer was found not guilty, but ordered to pay about $2,000 in witness fees. later, a $3,830.41 bill was submitted. Brown contends verdict does not override the county’s obligation for court maintenance costs, which Washington County should bear. If Jefferson prevails, costs to Washington County fall under $100. The piece also lists relief-related figures and unemployment indicators.
