Berridge of Fontana on a charge of slaying Herman William Trelle, 50, who was known as the Canadian wheat king.

The stocky, little rancher was ordered held without bail. He was represented at the preliminary hearing by Attorney Martin C. Casey of San Bernardino, while Ted G. Krumm, chief criminal deputy district attorney, prosecuted. VICTIM SHOT TWICE Mr.

Trelle, who came to Southern California from Canada to manage extensive ranch properties, was assertedly shot twice by Gilberti with a shotgun. The shooting occurred Sept. 1 at the Overholtz olive ranch in Fontana, which Gilberti formerly managed. Gilberti did not take the witness stand. Dr.

Albert E. Hurst county autopsy surgeon, testfied that Mr. Trelle was struck twice, once in the back of the head and the second time in the hip. The first wound caused death, he stated. TWO HEAR SHOTGUN Two Japanese ranch workers, Takeo Sugimoto and Shig Shima-bukuro, testified that they heard a shot and ran to the front door of their house on the olive ranch to see Gilberti a shotgun in his hands chasing Trelle.

They said that blood was streaming from Trelle's face and a few moments later they heard a second shot. Deputy Sheriff Roy Cornelison testified that he was called to the ranch and he found blood stains leading from inside the ranch office to the point where Trelle collapsed. The officer said that Trelle was inside the office when the first shot was fired, as was evidenced by the blood stains and a hole in the screen door.
