Morehouse Murder Trial Delayed by Ill Witness
Mrs. Enda Morehouse and attorney Ross W Funk appeared in the court of common pleas on Saturday morning seeking a second trial date. Prosecutor Carlin said one key witness, Dr D W Garver of West Salem, was too ill to attend, and Judge Eason agreed to delay while Dr Garver recovers. William Everhart and Harry White, two accused in the Nye murder, faced a venue change motion before Judge Zeson with affidavits due from defense within 25 days and responses in seven days, pushing any trial beyond the new year.
