RETIREMENT OF OFFICERS CAUSES SEVERAL REMOVALS
"The shifting of county officers has caused some changes in locations of individuals in the last week. Sheriff Nutter has vacated the sheriff's residence and will occupy the Foley property on Court Street, while Glenn Ford, office deputy for the new sheriff, will live in the county residence.
"Prosecuting Attorney A. F. McCue turns his office in the court house over to the new prosecutor, J. O. Wilcox, and will expound Blackstone from his old office in the Doddridge County Bank Building, while Mayor J. Clyde Jones has taken as a law office the rooms in the Stuart building occupied by Mr. Wilcox."
(NOTE: "Sir William Blackstone SL KC (10 July 1723 - 14 February 1780) was an English jurist, judge and Tory politician of the eighteenth century. He is most noted for writing the Commentaries on the Laws of England." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Blackstone
"In criminal law, Blackstone's formulation (also known as Blackstone's ratio or the Blackstone ratio) is the principle that:
'It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer', ...as expressed by the English jurist William Blackstone in his seminal work, Commentaries on the Laws of England, published in the 1760s. Historically, the details of the ratio have varied, but the message that government and the courts must err on the side of innocence has remained constant." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone%27s_formulation )
