Political turmoil in Norfolk County electoral board case
Captain J W Lepper returned from Wytheville after appealing to the Court of Appeals over appointing a fourth member of the county electoral board. The court denied the petition. The Norfolk County electoral board previously consisted of S H Coomw Hh, Wk L Shea, and Me Warren. rivalries and political aims, including Shea seeking sheriff and Cromwell aiming for treasurer, framed the dispute. Judge Prentis delayed action to allow appeal. the appellate court dismissed the petition for a writ without ground. A fresh appointment now seems likely after a period of delay and legal maneuvering.
