Mrs. Bunke, the witness, testified that an automobile was standing at the curb on the side on which Hanske was later found, the defense seeking to establish that Hanske stepped from behind the machine or off the walk into the path of the Lettenberger car and that the driver of the latter machine could not see him or know his intention. Mrs. Bunke testified that had Hanske started across the street she should have been able to see him but that she did not until after the collision when she went to his aid. The state rested at 2:30 this afternoon after calling six witnesses, one of whom, Albert Laun, a Kiel youth who came here from the university to testify, was an eye witness to the accident. Laun said that Lettenberger had made no move to avoid the collision. Other witnesses testified that Lettenberger had been warned against fast driving. District Attorney Schmitz is conducting the prosecution and Attorney Hougen and Brady and Isaac Craite appear for the defense. Lettenberger is charged with manslaughter in the fourth degree. The case may go to the jury tomorrow. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, January 15, 1915, Page 1
