By the Associated Press, LOS ANGELES, September 23.—The * trial of Mrs. Alexander Pantages on a second degree murder charge today ‘wepnt into its final hours. The case goes to the jury of seven men and five Women after closing arguments by chief prosecution and defense counsel. The last stages of the sensational gll were expected to. be replete with fon. Prosecution threats or perjury charges against defense witnesses added to the tension of the case. Cited as “Mass of Falsities.” Deputy «District Attorney James P. Costello, in charge of the prosecution, said that “investigation discloses that the Pantages case is a mass of falsi- , ties” and that one defense witness would be placed in custody to answer charges of falsifying under oath. “This witness,” Costello declared, “swore under oath that he had seen the crash. We know that he did not” ‘The crash referred to by Costello was that between Mrs. Pantages' limousine and a small sedan driven by Juro Ro- kumoto, a Japanese gardener, who died later in a hospital. Mrs. Pantages Was accused of being intoxicated at the time and responsible for the accident. Accused Witness Not Named. ‘The identity of the witness facing perjury charges was not revealed by Costello. He did, however, assert that testimony of other defense witnesses also was under close scrutiny. Anticipating a large number of spec- tators for what probably will be the last day of the trial, Under-Sheriff Wright ordered additional deputy sheriffs sta- . tloned in the courtroom and barricades in the courtroom strengthened. o = Pope Cheers Ill Cardinal.
