Charles Frey, clerk of the Fountain Circuit Court, was called to Winchester, Ky., last week as a witness in a murder trial. The defendant in the case was charged with the murder of his mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thomas.

In September 1943, he married Mrs. Lulu Stone of Loglick, Ky., who he had known for many years.
