Will Try Milan Man In April

The county officials, says the Monroe Democrat, have had considerable trouble in securing a case against Samuel McMullen, of Milan, charged with breaking and entering a barn with intent to destroy private property, owing to the disappearance of Walter Brown, the chief witness in the case. It appears that Brown went to Texas before the date set for the trial, and for lack of evidence McMullen was discharged, and rearrested on another charge, and admitted to bail. About a week ago Brown came back to his home and in order to make sure that he did not get away again the officers brought Brown to the city, and Monday he was taken before Justice Noble and placed under bond for $1,000, for his appearance as a witness against McMullen at the April term of court.
