In his request for leave to enter a plea of guilty to manslaughter, Michael's attorney, Wins-low Van Home of Auburn, waived formal reading of the grand jury indictment. Did Not Intend to Shoot Mr. Van Home told the court that Michael's statement that he did not intend to shoot his wife was substantiated by the fact that it was established that he held the gun with one hand at hip level when it was fired. Judge Stump questioned the prosecutor on the defendant's cooperation with authorities in the investigation.

The prosecutor replied that the accused husband had been cooperative. The court also asked Sheriff Likens if Michael had cooperated reasonably with authorities and if it was not true that he surrendered voluntarily to the grand jury indictment when he was advised by telephone to return from Harvey, for an appearance in court. The sheriff answered in the affirmative. The prosecutor, when asked by the court if the state had any objection to the court granting leave to Michael to enter a plea of guil- ty to the lesser offense, the pros-i ecutor said the state would have Noble, counties, no evidence that entry was made Monday ior snaron, ior a through the window. i Visit with her son, Jack Hammond, ien siue 01 uie iate aau nose anu the four named by the judge, one cuts on the left leg.
