ALMA, Wis. – Bail was set at $10,000 for a Fountain City man who failed to report the death of his wife six weeks earlier in their trailer house in Fountain City. In setting bail, Judge Thomas Clark set a further hearing for Arthur E. McMullin, 69, in November. Failing to report a corpse can mean 12-1/2 years in prison and a $25,000 fine – plus $200 to cover the government’s cost of a deoxyribonucleic acid test of tissue from the bodily remains.
