Monday, Assistant States Attorney
Charles Il. Dougherty said.
Five witnesses were brought be-
for the grand jury during it's ses-
sion today as the state marshalled
the evidence by which it hopes to
prove Zenge guilty of the emascu-
lation staying.
Included was William Leinert,
the states surprise witness. Lem

taciturn far myouth on the early
morning of his arrest and has been
in custody since. He has alter
nately been reported the friend and
CO. -dant of Zenge and the man
who turned him over to police.
The true bill today marked the
first important link in the chain
w which the state hopes to lead
the disappointed lover to the cleo
trio chair. Officers, while admitting
the case against him is largely cir.
cumstantial, maintain the evidence
they already have is enough for
