diets Testimony Of Girls
Parents

Oroville, Cal, March 94,-With final
smash at the defense of Rev. Madison
Slaughter, changed with attacking Ger
trude Lamson, aged IS, the state closed
its case today and prepared for jury
argument Mondly.
Leona Hook, aged 10, a high school
student, attacked Slaughter's alibi in
the last moments of the prosecution Is
sur-rebuttal. She testified that she
went to the Lamson home November 10
and November IA, and that on both
days Gertrude was not there. Ger
trude's sister Jennie, said the witness,
told the pastor S accuser was cover at
Slaughter IS. "
This contradicted the evidence of
Gertrude S parents. They declared she
was at home on November l3 and Nov.
ember II, the days ON which Slaugh-
ter is alleged to have committed the
offenses.
On erOss-examinqtiOn Leea Hook re.
manned lnshaken. Her word was cor.
roborated by her mother, Mrs. J. F..
Hook, who asserted that Leona went to
the Lamson home on both the days
mentioned. On cross-examination she
established the date by saving she
came home sick aud made a note of it
in her expense book.
Mrs. Thomas Whidden was recalled to
the stand She further strengthened
the Hook girls story by asserting Ger
trude worked at her home, next door to
the Slaughter residence, on November
13 and November IA, and that she slept
in Slaughter S home on both those
nights,
The accused minister appeared agi-
tated this morning.
