Driver's Use Of Sense Clears Man In DUI Case
A Mt. Pleasant motorist, William Mullican, was found not guilty of driving under the influence after magistrate Wilbur F. Sheffield ruled that merely a running engine does not prove an attempt to drive. Trooper H. P. O'Brien testified Mullican, slumped behind the wheel, was intoxicated but the court accepted the defendant's claim of common sense in stopping safely. State's Attorney Charles A. Price prosecuted. In other cases, Lewis Murst was ordered to pay $40 weekly support, Mrs. Hurst testified of threats, and Charles Sanders was required to pay $30 weekly for four children. Collateral forfeitures totaled $20 for violations by Philip Soniker. All arrests were by Trooper O'Brien.
