Salmon

The tax evasion and fraud trial of a man who founded a Christian mission in North Charleston but is accused of failing to report hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxable income did not go forward Monday.

Albert J. Salmon, founder of the Good Samaritan Mission, was indicted in June 2006 on 13 charges of income tax evasion and fraud.

His trial was listed as a possibility this week at the Charleston County Judicial Center.

Instead, a murder trial was called. It is not clear when Salmon's case when be called.

Salmon, 61, founded the Christian mission more than 25 years ago on Cochise Street on the run-down southern end of North Charleston.

In May 2003, city inspectors discovered homeless men living in subdivided trailers, a garage and outdoor storage shed.
