Morocco Man Bound Over to Court On Serious Charge.

Newton County Enterprise. Vernon Hagen, of Morocco, was bound over to the circuit court by Justice Mock Friday afternoon to answer two criminal charges filed against him by Miss Nellie Duzenberry, of Fairbury. Miss Duzenberry is the mother of a child born the latter part of June, and she alleges that young Hagen is the child’s father through criminal assault, the story of which was published at the time. Hagen was placed under arrest following the birth of the child but the preliminary hearing was postponed until Friday. A large number of witnesses were present but after the girl told her story Hagen waived hearing and was bound over to the circuit court under two bonds aggregating $3,500, signed by his father, Cary Hagen, and uncle, John M. Hagen.
