Toilet-Size Quarters For Cabell Prosecutor Raises Gambling Stink
Cabell County Prosecutor Edward H. Greene charged that a court move into courthouse quarters including two abandoned toilets may be aimed at thwarting his anti gambling efforts. He said he forced payment for a secret investigator after county commissioners balked, noting a coincidence with the decision to end outside office rent. Heiner and Brady defended the plan as saving the county 1800 a year, while Donohoe objected to the payment.
