Defense Attorney Sidney Carlton
told reporters that Milan saved
the life of a Negro girl about five
years ago. He denied that it was
defense propaganda" ~ didn't
believe it myself at first, but l
checked on it," he said.
Milan is also a much-decorated
veteran of World War II who won
battlefield commission while
fighting in Europe.
Milan said he was awarded the
Silver Star, the Purple Heart and
lesser medals.
Milan, who watched and listened
to the trial proceedings with in
tense interest, sat beside his pretty
wife and two attractive children.
Milan owned a store in Glendora
but it burned. In recent months,
he has been helping his half
brother, Roy Bryant, who is CO.
defendant in the murder trial.
Milam's sister, Mrs. Louie Camp
bell, of Minter City, also told
Daily News reported that Milan
saved the life of a little Negro
polio victim by rushing him to the
hospital in Memphis in the nick
of time.
Milan is a husky, balding man
who is six foot, two inches tall.
His half-brother, Bryant, is
rugged, handsome former para
trooper who did not get overseas
while in service. Like Milan, he
was seated with his wife and two
small boys in the courtroom.
Bryant's wife and children also are
unusually attractive.
Bryant served in the Army dur
ing the Korean war under Negro
non-commissioned officer and "did
not seem to mind him." Johnny
Tupman, a close friend of the de-
PENDANT, said. "Roy told us the
Negro was a good soldier and that
they understood each other"
Bryant's sons are almost the
same age as Milam's. They are
Roy, Jr. a, and Lamar, g Milam's
sons are Bill, S, and Harvey, 2.
Mrs. E. L. Bryant, mother of
the defendants, sat in a front row
seat. She owns rural store at
Sharkey, Miss.
She said neither Bryant nor
Milan finished high school, but
that both boys were active in school
affairs, particularly in athletics,
when attending Charleston high
school near here.
She said that Milam's father was
killed while working on a road con-
struction project. She later mar
ried Bryant's father whom she d.
vorced. Bryant's father now owns
and operates rural store at Cur
tbs, Miss.
Sitting beside the defendants
mother were Bryant's twin brother,
Ray, and other relatives. Ray and
Roy Bryant are not identical twins.
Other relatives include another
brother, Daniel Milan, of Grenada,
an employee of Grenada Indus
tries; Mrs. Campbell; and Mrs. Les
lie Milan of Drew, sister-in-law.
