Dutcher in prosecuting the case, estimated the preliminary hearing would take a full day. It will start at 9 a.m. Gein could be bound over to Circuit Court for trial if the judge presiding at the hearing rules there is sufficient evidence Gein may have committed a crime. Judge Gollmar told Belter, ancies, a newspaper reporter that there was only one sure solution. During a half-hour recess asked by defense counsel, he strode from his seat in the jury box to where Gein sat, at the front of the small courtroom.

"How do you pronounce your last name?" the reporter inquired. Gein's reply: "I pronounce it (like keen). Some of them pronounce it (like fine). It's about half and half." It more or less settled the issue. WAUTOMA Is it Gein (as rhymes with fine) or is it Gein (as rhymes with keen)? That question has perplexed newsmen covering the preliminary stages of the murder trial here.
