Brock Munday Acquitted. (A case) which attracted much attention, was the one against Brock Munday, colored, charged with the murder of William Callahan, a Clay County log man. Callahan was returning to his home, from a trip down the river with logs and stopped over here for the night. When last seen he had a roll of bills and it was alleged that Munday took him on hand in order to get the money. He was seen several times with Munday during the night and was later found on the street in an unconscious condition. Later investigation proved that he had been drugged. The man died the next day and Munday was immediately arrested. The stomach of the dead man was examined by Prof. A.M. Peters, of state college, who found traces of the drug, and who testified to that effect on the trial. Much to the testimony was from witnesses of rather doubtful character and a great deal of the evidence was pure circumstantial. After being out about an hour, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
