Court notes sparse term at Marshall County bench
Marshall County Circuit Court opened the May term with Judge Worthington. Few cases were acted on as no grand jury was convened and jurors were told not to come. Several cases were continued or stricken, including Nick Smith manslaughter and Frank Keppler murder, and charges against Oliver Johns were dismissed for legal flaws. Other dockets were postponed, with scattered civil actions and injuries cited, including damages claims linked to mine disasters and a hedge trimming incident.
