Dear Fred; Editor Hinton News-
paper,
On Mar. 12, 1989, I was raided by
the city and state police for having
my private club open after hours. On
this same date, I waived probable
cause on the citation and was ar-
raigned before Magistrate Jefferies
upon this single charge. The next
day, I was assigned a Mr. E. Skaggs
as court appointed counsel, but when
I contacted him, he stated that he
could not see me until the date of the
trial. I fired Mr. Skaggs.
On Mar. 31, 1989, Magistrate
Jeff ries called Trooper Miller into
his office to have him file a new
complaint, upon which Jeffefies is-
sued, but did not execute, a warrant
, with twoadditilmal violations of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control
Commissioner's =Operations Regu-
lations. However, someone also
annotated on a case document that I
came in and stated that I would
represent myself.
On Apr. 12, 1989, at a pre-trial
hearing, now before Magistrate
Beasley, during which a defense
coun sel did not show, I filed a motion
to dismiss the charges because the
warrant did not state the "intent~
element required by the code.
On May 11, 1989, at an additional
pre-triat hearing, now before a
Greenbrier County magistrate, dur-
ing which a defensecounsel did not
show, I filed a motion to dismiss
because the warrant did not state
the "i ntent" elem ent required by the
Code.
On June 22, 1989, Judge Lobban
dismissed the warrant because, he
stated, "the charges should be three
separate and distinct charges, and
on June 29, 1989, Judge Jotliffe, the
"chief judge", Ordered the case back
befbre the same Greenbrier County
magistrate tbr reissuance of three
warrants.
On July 20, 1989 was the date
that Prosecutor Aucremanne sched-
uled the trial before the Greenbrier
County magistrate, However, there
was no trial,in fact when I arrived at
the court room, I found no one around
or even the magistrates offices.
On July 21, 1989, I received an
eviction notice evicting me from the
club for criminal misconduct and
for failing to "acquire liability insur-
ance that no one in town would
provide.
During the month of Oct. of 1989,
the oldest charter for the American
Legion in the State was taken away
from Post 51' named after the Pack/
Parker family (Crawfords). Almost
immediately, the VFW announced a
revival.
On Jan. 9, 1990, without notice or
opportunity to challenge the array
of the grand jury members, as re-
quired by law, I was indicted for the
same "three separate and distinct=
violations against my ABCCLicense
Privileges', before a grand jury with
six to ten members who are directly
or indirectly associated with the First
National Bank of Hinton, which bank
I do business associated with my
closed licensed business" and my
'~home~.
From the beginning, my business
was doomed, for there was just too
much potential to make money. Legal
tipboards, poker machines, being
affiliated with the American Legion,
being black, being a Crawford all at
the same time must be too much for
the estab}ishment, for all of them
conspired to t ke private property
without paying compensation.

opened for business, there were sta-

Montgomery, Crescent instead of

Carbon and Loup Creek instead of
Deepwater. Shortly after the turn of
the century, coal mines opened in
great number in this area. There
were nine mines within the six miles

Beta Blockers: Helpful

pranalol, atenolol, nadolol, and ti-
