Coverup claim heats Fallon grand jury report on Cox estate
Two witnesses before Churchill County Grand Jury called the report a whitewash as they detailed missing barrels of ore and unaccounted cash and equipment from prospector Cye Cox’s estate. The panel said some involved acted negligently but found no criminal offenses. Barney Howard denounced the findings while Pat Stevenson noted jurors’ ties to a former coroner.
