The main evidence advanced by the

given before the Laporte county
grand jury by Mrs Zette. owen Line,
court stenographer for the Laporte
circuit court was placed on the stand
and cOrrObOrated the notes on the
evidence before the grand jury. This
evidence was presented to show that
the story told by Mrs. Zette in the di-
rect examination in the trial was
made up and confiicted very much
with the story told to the grand jury.
In the direct examination Mrs
Zette had stated that PiersOn had
made improper advances to her and
had told her husband that he was in
their house for no other purpose. Ac-
cOrding to the notes taken during the
grand jury hearing Mrs. Zette had
said that Pierson and her husband
had been friends and that nothing
unusual had been said concerning
her.
Upon direct examination Mrs
Zette had also corroborated the state
ment of the neighbor children that

seen the shooting but had merely
heard the shot Soon after that Zette
was caught as he was crossing a
neighbor's yard.
Four witnesses were put on by the
defense to testify that the reputation
| of Pierson for peace and quiet was
bad. Because they had misunder-
stood the questions the answers OF
three of these witnesses was struck
| from the court record. The other
witness thought that Persons repu-
tation for peace and quiet was bad
/ because he had at one time been in
strumental in having someone arrest
ed.
Six character witnesses were put on
by the state TO show that the reputa .
ton of Pierson had been good These
