J. P. Gillotte, who practices in a medical laboratory at 1505 N. testified that the slug "appeared to be the the girl and marked same one" that he toothufrom while performing an autopsy on her body. On defense questioning! he was unable to state definitely that it was the same bullet, however, and it was not a admitted as evidence until its identity was definitely established the next witness, Simon Lark.
Lark is a police detechnician who was partment given the slug by Dr. Gillotte. Presiding Judge Joseph ermilk of Sullivan Circuit Court overruled Jett's objection that Lark's testimony was based on "hearsay evidence" because the exchange had not occurred in the presence of the accused. Bullet in Brain Dr. Gillottee stated that death was caused by hemorrhages of the brain and spinal cord resultling from the bullet which entered the child's head just below the lower rim of her right eye.
Through cross examination, Jett established that the doctor found no evidence that the child had been sexually molested, as a result of the autopsy. The prosecution contends that Sparks shot the child on Oct. 8, two years ago, after she threatened to tell her parents he had molested her. Sparks, who testified at his earlier bench trial before Vigo Circuit Judge H. Ralph Johnston that he had pointed the death weapon at the girl only to scare her, contends that it discharged accidentally.

The pearl handled revolver is owned by the girl's father, Peter Fredericks. Six pictures of the interior of the Frederick's home showing the child's body and illustrating the death scene were introduced as prosecution exhibits during Wiram's testimony. Prior to beginning of testimony Jett was sustained in a motion for separation of witnesses, and five witnesses were directed to leave the court room to be called later one at a time.
