Hearing delayed for two election code violations
A hearing for Peter A. Vessella and Charles S. Cook, charged with two misdemeanor violations of the state election code, is postponed to 9:30 a.m. July 21. District Justice David B. Rishel said the hearing was delayed by the state attorney general's office. Vessella, Lawrence County Democratic chairman, and Cook are accused in May of election code violations tied to anonymous mailings against county commissioner candidates Vern L. Eppinger and Elizabeth M. Verterano in the 1987 Democratic primary. Each charge carries up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
