Interrogation of witnesses for the Commonwealth began early today in the Green County Court in the examining trial of the Commonwealth against Elmer Kavo Milby, charged with the murder of Johnny Walker, alleged to have taken place at the Loose Leaf Tobacco Warehouse in Greensburg, on the first day of January this year. According to information received from one of the defense attorneys' introduction of defense witness will get under way sometime during the day. Vernon Shuffett, county attorney, opened the trial, placing Homer Walker, a brother of the slain man on the stand as the first witness. He stated that his brother was killed by Milby with a four or five inch long bladed knife following a dispute over fifty cents, an amount involved in a crap game between Milby and Walker. Immediately after Milby had made the fatal stab, the witness stated that the slayer closed the knife and threw it away, denying that he had killed Walker and that he didn't have a knife. Milby was held to the March Grand Jury under a $10,000 bond.
