ALLEGHANY- George Gilmour, the eccentric, brilliant lawyer working on the Sixteen to One mine’s case against the California District Attorney Association

was killed in a single car wreck on the Ridge Road on Monday evening.

At this writing, little is known about the circumstances: evidently Gilmour was heading downhill after meeting with mine CEO Mike Miller in Alleghany.

The wreck occurred about 7:30 P.M.

Gilmour had left his Richmond home that morning, meeting in Alleghany to go over briefs prepared for a court hearing scheduled for Thursday. That hearing has been postponed.
