Verdict For Defendant In
The BebOut Case
Other Notes OF Interest From
The Court House

Michael T. Lee, Alfred Wolfe and
David Mackey, indicted by the Knox
county grand jury at the May term of
Common pleas court on two counts
one for administering poison to Char
les e. Metcalf with view of injuring
him and the second manslaughter,
were arraigned before Judge Wick
ham in common pleas court at 9:35
Friday morning. Lee was represent
ed by his attorney, Hon. William M.
Koons and Wolfe by his attorney, Hon.
III. H. Greer. Mackey was not rep
resented by any attorney.
The three men were directed to
arise and the Indictment was read by
Clerk Of Courts Bermont. AS Judge
Wickham called their names each de-
fendant entered plea of not guilty.
Judge Wickham then fixed the bond
of Wolfe and Mackey at $4,000, and
asked the defendants if they were
able to furnish security for the
amount. They were unable TO give
bond and were taken back to the coun-
ty Jail in the custody of Deputy Sher-
iff Woolison.
Some days ago the court fixed the
bond of Lee at $4,000, and he gave
security for the amount. Mr.. Rooms,
attorney for Lee, asked the court II
the bonds of the defendants should
not be the same inasmuch as the
bonds of Mackey and Wolfe had been
fixed at $4,000. The court replied that
they should not be the same, stating
however, that the amount of the bond
does not always depend upon the
gravity of the case, but upon the de
! fendant being able to give bond He
stated that in some instances it was
easier for one defendant to give bond
in the sum of $4,000, that 1t was fol
another defendant to give bond in the
sum of $500
Mr.. Greer, attorney for Wolfe, re
quested that the defendants be giver
separate trials, but stated that this
matter could be adjusted later.
Mr.. Rooms requested of the court {
weeks time in which to file one ol
more motions in the case of Ohio VS.
Lee. This time was allowed the at
torney by the court.
Judge Wickham set the date of thu
trials of the three defendants named
above for the week of June 5.
