In a drama-packed second Mrs Sullivan turned and tearfully identified Johns. There was silence in the court room as Deputy Prosecutor Ger11d ‘Purdy said to the pale, .expectant mother “Now Mrs. Sullivan, I want you to turn and look squarely at this man and tell the court if he was the man who was in your bed-
room." The biack-clad, ashen-faced widow, who up until then had inclined her head to look away from Johns, slowly and with visible effort. turned her face toward him. Tense Moment There was a tense moment
. then her face contorted with sobs
as she said: “He's the man who was in my bedroom--he’'s the man who shot my husband.” As she said it there was the sound of convulsive sobs from some other member of the group of relatives who surrounded her A veteran court reporter had to leave the bench in tears, it was such a heart-rending moment. Johns stood with arms folded and stared straight at the widow as she made her identification
In Bedroom Officer Sullivan had just re turned home at 4715 English Ave, to find an intruder in the bedroom of his wife July 23. He was fatally wounded in an ex-
change of gunfire, Calling Mrs. Sullivan as a wit ness became necessary when de-
fense attorneys demanded yesterday’s hearing Normally murder cases are
waived but it is the defendant's right to.ask a preliminary hearing. : The state emphasized it was not attempting to prove ite case against Johns, but was only showing probability of guilt, sufficient to turn him over to the Grand Jury.
Officer Testifies
Preceding Mrs. Sullivan as a witness was Sgt. Earl Booth, the officer who arrested the wounded Johns near the scene of the shooting. Mrs. Sullivan appeared In court dressed in a black maternity dress. She appeared very pale at the outset of the hearing. With relatives on either side of her, Mrs. Sullivan sat in the front row of chaire in the éourt room, a scant 10 feet from the wire cage where Johns was held. The defendant was talking to his stepfather and his mother, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Johns, while the court waited for the appear ance of a deputy prosecutor. Mrs. Sullivan clenched and unclenched her fists as she waited for the court to hear several speeding cases pending the deputy’'s arrival. Johns, who became 18 years old last Sunday, lives at 1234 Madeira St.
Four Are Marooned In Switzerland Cave
MUOTATH A IL. Switzerland, Aug. 23: (UP)--Rescue teams hoped today that flood waters would recede in the sprawling “hell hole” cavern ‘so that an attempt could be made to reach a professor and three 18-year-old Boy Scouts trapped for more than a week. The underground torrents thus far have blocked all attempts to rescue the four who were believed marooned on a precarious perch in one of the big cave's winding corridors. Yesterday the sun came out but the underground streams still were swollen.
