Mandamus plea in Va county schools funding case heard
Staunton Va August 8 The Scott county school board asked the Virginia Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus to force the board of supervisors to provide funds for operating the county school system. The case caps a long dispute between the boards. Also before the court is the appeal of Wilbur Trout Front Royal attorney from a four and a half year sentence for voluntary manslaughter. Trout was convicted December 19 of killing Harvey Saffell in a Front Royal law office during a card game quarrel. A motion challenging Virginia s plan to refund 11 680 000 of century bonds was filed against the sinking fund commissioners by William H Langhorne and others. The refund plan would let current bondholders swap into new bonds at presumably lower interest.
