MILAN BROTHERS QUARREL
SANDER Suit by the PatrOlman's
Brother Being Heard.

In the Milan SANDER suit, which is going
on in the Circuit Court, a large number Of
witnesses were examined yesterday and the
plaintiff closed her case. The wife of Pa
trolman Milan is suing her brother-in-law,
Charles B. Milan. 1t is claimed that the
latter made a most ungracious remark at
the expense of his sister-in-law's reputation.
There was a rather sensational incident in
the case yesterday morning. Judge Allen
discovered that Patrolman Milan had a pis-
tol in his pocket and instructed the police
man to turn it over to the bailiff. which he
did. The revolver incident came up while
Milan was on the witness stand on cross
examination. Attorney Korbly asked him If
ne had a revolver with him on a certain oc-
CASTOR, naming the time that he and his
brother quarreled when Mrs. MiIam's name
was dragged into the case. The witness re-
piled that he did not have a pistol on that
occasion. Have you one now?" asked the
attorney. Yes" replied the witness. IT
have a right to carry it." There was a
pause in the proceedings, and Judge Allen
turned to Charles Milan and asked, Are
you armed?' He replied that he was not,
and the court told the bailiff to take charge
of the Witnesses pistol.
Judge Allen, during the noon hour, had
Milan's pistol returned to him and in
structed him to leave it at home hereafter
in attending court. During the afternoon,
to the witness stand and asked him to ex-
plain to the jury how he came to nave the
pistol with him in court. He told the jury
that he was q policeman and that the orders
of the superintendent of police were for
patrolmen to have a pistol, club and badge
with them at all times, whether on duty or
not.
Several witnesses gave testimony concern
ing the quarrel which took place between
the Milan brothers. According to the evil
dence, the patrolman tainted his brother
with having been in prison, and the brother.
as he was leaving, used this language; "Wil
Milan, there is one thing | want to say to
you before l go, and after / have said it, I
don't care whether you ever speak to me
again or not" 1t is claimed that the de-
PENDANT then referred to Mrs. Milan in the
words that brought on the suit to recover
damages for SANDER.
