Capitol fraud evidence in Norfolk probe details alleged petty graft
Norfolk witnesses allege that James G. Wilson Manufacturing under Sanderson sub contracted capitol flooring at 66 cents a square foot with agent's commission, later reduced to 45 cents. The scheme allegedly ignored borders and cement base, with Huston directing the dealings. Sanderson profited 173000 dollars from 175000 square feet of flooring billed at 1.44 per foot.
