The case of the State VS.. w. +. Qnln,
charged with the murder of Monroe
Brewer and brought here on change OF
venue from Pike, was called last Friday
and set for Tuesday at p. III. The wit
nesses were all notified to be on hand at
that time and it was thought the trial
would certainly go on, but at the appoint
ed hour Messrs. Reid and Sternberger. at
torneys for the defense, raised the point
that their client had not been formally
served with a copy of the Indictment, and
that they were unwilling to waive that
formality. AS this fact would have up
set the verdict if the trial had proceeded
and Quin been convicted, Judge Chris
man promptly sustained the objection and
continued the case until the December
term. Meantime Quin will remain con-
fined IN the county Jail at this place.
The Grand Jury has been holding long
session, but will probably adjourn to-day.
