Dorothy Payette faces severe charges alleged against her father in a high profile case heard by Judge Baumgart last Saturday. The trial stalled after a heated law dispute and resumes Friday at 10 o clock with two court reporters and juvenile officers present. Payette’s demeanor and the stark testimony before a male audience, with only one woman observer, marked the proceedings as unusually serious. If convicted he could face one to twenty years in the penitentiary, with potential grand jury referral. He is described as having a large family of ten children.
