West, county supervisor, are being heard this week by Superior Judge L. N. Turrentine of San Diego, who is hearing the case in place of Judge Homer G. Ames. Two of the four counts of misconduct in office originally charged in a grand jury accusation have been dismissed. The remaining charges deal with the assertion that West solicited money from two persons in connection with liquidation of the Broadway Improvement company indebtedness at Laguna Beach in 1936. The prosecution to date has presented two witnesses, E. K. Wood of Riverside and A. H. Fanning of Laguna Beach. The complaint against West charges that the supervisor solicited $200 from Wood and $1000 from Fanning. Wood First Witness Wood was the first witness to testify for the prosecution. He declared that West requested $200 on several occasions and that he (Wood) paid the supervisor $140 sometime after the liquidation was completed. Wood said he paid the sum "to get rid of West." Defense counsel, on cross-examination, attempted to prove that the $200 represented a commission due West by Wood for sale of property after the liquidation was closed. The Riverside man testified he considered West's request a bribe prior to the close of liquidation, but after the matter was ended "told his conscience" that it was not a bribe. Fanning told the court he understood that West intended to use his position as supervisor to aid him in the liquidation matter, although the supervisor had not mentioned the board of supervisors or that he was a supervisor. Fanning did not give West any money, he said. Testimony Fanning made to the grand jury was introduced, revealing that Fanning had testified he considered West's request as a purely business matter and that he would have been hiring the supervisor for $1000 to perform certain duties and services.
