State v. Investigation by Garrison

FOURNET, C. j;, and SUMMERS, J.,

are of the opinion the writs should be granted. R.S. 15:156 does not authorize a so called “open hearing”, consequently any proceeding thereunder is illegal. The statute only authorizes the taking of the deposition of the witnesses before a judge or justice of the peace as done before grand jurors.

HAMITER, J., concurs in the refusal of the writs.
