CHAPTER 204

An Act for the relief of J. Norman Dickens.
[H 148]

Approved March 13, 1968

Whereas, on June 27, 1963, while employed as a tax examiner for the
Commonwealth of Virginia, J. Norman Dickens while working in his
line of duty, was shot by one Birdie Warren, as a result of which he
became permanently disabled, and was retired therefor; and

Whereas, J. Norman Dickens received his full salary from June 27,
1968, to April 22, 1964, and thereafter was paid workmen’s compensation
at ane rate of thirty-seven dollars per week from April 22, 1964, to July,

; an

Whereas, his basic salary at the time of the shooting was five thousand
one hundred sixty dollars per annum, and at the present time he is receiv-
ing two-thirds of that sum; and

Whereas, his further uncompensated medical expenses total one
thousand dollars; and

Whereas, it is only right that J. Norman Dickens be compensated for
his loss, as he has no other remedy at law, the said Birdie Warren being
insolvent; now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

§ 1. There is therefore appropriated from the General Fund of the
State treasury the sum of eight thousand thirty-two dollars, represent-
ing compensation covering the period from April 22, 1964, to July Il,
1966, which is eleven thousand two hundred thirteen dollars, less four
thousand one hundred eighty-one dollars in workmen’s compensation re-
ceived, plus incurred medical expenses of one thousand dollars, to be paid
by the State Treasurer on warrant of the Comptroller to J. Norman
Dickens, upon execution by him of a release of all claims that he may
have against the Commonwealth as a result of his said injury.
