SHIPLEY TRIAL
District Judge Kirby Vance has denied a defense Reverend motion for a mistrial in the case of the Steve Shipley who is accused of misapplying funds while serving as a Johnson County probation officer. The defense motion for mistrial came yesterday after a written statement was introduced as evidence. Shipley's lawyers said they had no previous knowledge of it. A Fort Worth independent incurance adjustor, J. W. Jordan, testified Shipley told him last March he had stolen money but not as much as he was accused of taking. The adjiustor said her wrote out a statement that Shipley signed.
