Johnson, sr., at a preliminary hearing, late yesterday dis- missed the murder charge brought by the lad's father, Henry Grindstaff, on the ground that the State had failed to make a case. The dismissal came after the elder Grindstaff and a dozen neighbors testi- fied the two physicians had operated on the boy on & Kkitchen table in the Grindstaff home, by the light of a kerosene lamp and a flashlight. The father also charged Dr. Pinson was in- toxicated. Dr. J. B. Shoun and Dr. J. L. Cottrell, who performed an autopsy of the boy's body, testified they found evidences of an appendicitis_operation. but the ap- pendix, which had. not been removed, was normal. ‘The defense, in cross- examination of the witnesses, sought to establish that the operation was a result of an error in diagnosis, and that the boy was in danger of death before the operation was performed.
