and Mr. Dewey identified the items. :
Specially Mr. Covert was alleged to have taken
aluminum windows, cooking stove, dual-thermo
heater, plastic sink and paneling and side walls. It
was stated that he had constructed nearly a com-
plete camper with materials from the company,
some of which he had purchased. Mr. Dewey testi-
fied that the nationally advertised price for a com-
plete unit is $1,095.
According to testimony, Mr. Covert had admit-
ted to Trooper Allen that he had taken the items.
Attorney Johnson closely cross examined the
policemen as to how his clent’s constitutional rights
“had been protected. It was established that all the
items mentioned in the complaint were being held
in the company’s custody as evidence.
Ti Commonwealth requested that the com-
plaint be amended to read May, 1969, instead of the
previous year as some of the items had not been
manufactured at the earlier date. The ammend-
ment was allowed after close questioning of both
witne@es by the defense attorney.
Magistrate Anderson stated in his opinion a
prima facie case had been established and the case
should go before the Grand Jury. Mr. Covert’s bail
was continued at $7,500.
