Monon Resident Faces Grave Charges.

Monon News. _ John Turner, one of the old residents of this place, was arrested Monday on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a yourtg girl, based on an affidavit filed by Henry Long. The case is set for hearing before Special Judge George Marvin at Monticello Saturday, the defendant being admitted to bail on a *SOO bond. A. K. Sills, Jr., and Leslie E. Thomas are counsel for defense. Various stories have been afloat concerning the affair, but the public should withhold judgment until facts are established by evidence. We have known Mr. Turner personally many years to his credit, and we are slow to believe that he is guilty of the offense charged. The name of the girl in the case is not printed, in the hope of lessening her embarrassment.
