Hall May Seek Mandamus Action To Oust Board
Gov. Fred Hall said he will seek to quash an alternative writ of mandamus issued to two State Civil Service Board members. The writ requires more specific charges against Gilmore of Independence and Trusler of Emporia and postpones the Aug. 18 hearing. Hall conferred with Atty Gen. Fatzer and plans to appear in Shawnee County District Court to show cause why he should not be compelled to specify charges. Gilbert Gilmore and Harold Trusler deny the accusations, while IIatt’s case proceeds in district court.
