Horton. “So profoundly are we Impressed with the evidence before us that we deem it our duty té urge upon this court our belief that, -had all the mat- ters now before presented to the trial court of Laresch would not have the judg- ment under which he is serving prac- tically a life term of imprisonment. ‘The Grand Jury desires to emp size the fact that it makes no eriti- cism whatsoever of the manner in which the trial was co.ducted by the Judge presiding or by the District Attorney. Under the facts as pre- sented at the trial the verdict could hardly have beer otherwise, Laresch was not called as a witness and 30 testimony was offered in his behalf,"* The Grand Jury then urges that the matter be laid before Gov.
