MULLEN CASE WAS
NOT STARTED TODAY
Barre Murder Case Is Delayed by the
Trial Of the McKinstry VS.. Collins
Case, Which Has Already 0c-
cupied Three Weeks.

Because the McKinstry vs.. Collins
case monopolizes the Washington county
court, as it has done for the past three
weeks, the trial OF Ray Mullen, who Is
charged with the murder Of Fred Batch
elder Of Barre Inst spring, was not start
cd this afternoon, as planned. And the
attorneys ii the case do not know when
it will come mp for trial. The Mckin-
stry case will undoubtedly occupy until
Wednesday and possibly may run long
cr. Tho court Oh Saturday dismissed
the jurors, from whom panel viii be
drawn for the trial Of the Mullen ease,
until Wednesday, 80 that it Is hoped
that The MclNinstry case may have been
disposed Of BY that time.
Then comes another question as to
the apllitX of the prosecuting attorneys
to take up the case in the limited time
at their disposal Attorney General
Fitts who by law Is made one Of the
prosecuting officers, will be busy about
the opening Of the legislature and cam
not give his time after this week, while
States Attorney Jackson, having been
elected representative from this eity,
win have All the more need for being
present at tho opening Of the legislature
Oh Wednesday. Attorney General Fits
and States Attorney Jackson were in
telephone communication Saturday al
ternoon, trying to decide upon some
course TO pursue. They are loath to
turn the case over to another attorney,
for the new man would be handicapped
with lack Of knowledge of the fine
details Of the case The result may
be that they Will ask for a continn~
ance, as they expect that the trial Of
the case will take more than week
