Logan Man Acquitted in Rape Case by Logan Jury
Logan H Holt, Coast River furniture dealer, was acquitted of raping a 10-year-old girl by a Logan circuit jury after 45 minutes of deliberation. Holt testified he accompanied the girl on a duck-selling trip to Chapmanville to show an alibi, while prosecutors called four witnesses including the girl and her mother. The mother had testified to paid hush money, which led to the original indictment, voided for a technicality, and a new indictment later returned.
