Judge Wurzbach Denies Dr Chews Charges In Express Report
Judge Wurzbach rejects Dr Chews accusations against him and the Poorhouse. He cites beer and alcohol use for medical purposes since July and questions why Chew did not petition the County Commissioners Court for investigation. He claims nearly $400 in medicines were billed by C Chasse beyond county dispensary usage. He says he knows nothing about Rodriguez beyond accepting a hospital request and clarifies the cook issue during Behring’s resignation, naming John Delsite as cook at that time.
