AL b & B : | bled [JURY 1S WEIGHING Venire Locked in Hotel Rooms After Deliberating Two and Half Hours. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, September 25.—The | fate of Mrs. Lols Pantages, wife of | Alexander T. Pantages, who recently | sold his vaudeville the r interests for $15,000,000, rested today with juryw sworn to weigh the evidence presented | at the second-degree murder trial and | determine whether she was responsible | for the death of Juro Rokumoto, & | Japanese gardener, as a result of an automobile collision. After three weeks of testimony and arguments and 25 minutes of instruc-, tion from Superior Judge Carlos Hardy the seven men and five women took the case at 4:45 p.m. yesterday. Four hours later they retired to their hotel rooms under guard to rest. Juror Becomes IIl. | The retirement was ordered by the court after Brod F. Petrie, a retired ! Montana cattleman and juror No. 4,/ had reported he was too ill to continue | further the discussion of evidence. Two hours and 30 minutes had been spent in_actual deliberation. | iffs said Petrie suffered extreme | fatigue, but would be able to carry on after a night’s sleep. Other jurors were tired and worn. No indication of the status of the discussion at the close of last night's deliberation was given. { _The trial was closed by Deputy Dis | trict Attorney James P. Costello, a ve! ieran of the district attorney’s staff and | | head of the prosecution, who made an | impassioned plea for conviction and recommendation of the maximum pen- alty—from five years to life in San Quentin Penitentiary. Costello charged | Mrs, Pantages was intoxicated when she drove her automobile into that of Rokumoto on June 16 and that his in- | Jury and subsequent death was her | responsibility. “We have heard there is one, law lor\ the rich and another for the poor,” Costello sald. “By your verdict we i shall see.” Powerful Plea Made. Max Steuer of New York, chief coun- | sel for the defense, closed his case with | {a powerful plea for acquittal. “Mrs. Pantages is being persecuted | because she is a rich woman,” he de- clared. Then he outlined the defense case, dwelling on a contention bolstered by five medical experts that an anes- thetic administered to Rokumoto for an operation caused his death. He closed with an admonition to the jury that they might not permit Costello’s ?rlzl’_v to “erase from their minds the acts.” Judge Hardy charged the jury with responsibility of deciding the truth of testimony and its weight. He outlined for it the possible verdicts and recom- mended sentences with each conviction. His instructions were closed with an outline of the law involved. “If you are satisfled that the de- fendant unlawfully caused an auyfomo- bile which she was driving to Collide with that of Juro Rokumoto; that the deceased was thereby injured and thereafter died, and that those injuries did contribute to death, although other causes also may have contributed, I| instruct you the casual connection be- | tween the unlawful act and the death | of the Japanese has been made out | and it will become your duty to flnd the | defendant criminally responsible,” he | directed. |FREED OF BRIBE CAHARGE.! Former in Missouri Acquitted on Technicality. CLAYTON, Mo., September 25 (#).— | A directed verdict of acquittal, freeing Fred E. Mueller, former prosecuting at- torney of St. Louis County, of a charge of accepting a bribe while in office, was returned by a jury in Circuit Court yesterday when Judge Nolte sustained !a defense demurrer that the charge | had been brought under the wrong statute. ‘The chief witness for the prosecution, Adolph Piedler, 440-pound justice of peace of Maplewood, had testified that re gave Mueller a $200 bribe to dismiss a liquor possession charge against Edgar E. Horn and that Mueller had kept him informed of the proceedings of the grand jury which indicted Fiedler on four other charges. MISS BONDFIELD OUT.

YOUNG COOLIDGES VISIT HOMESTEAD Room Where Father Took Oath as President Seen by Newlyweds. By the Associated Press. PLYMOUTH, Vt., One of the first places visited by Mr. and Mrs. John Coolidge on their honey- moon has been the plain white farm- house where six years ago his grand- father, now dead, swore in his father as President of the United States. The presence of a Coolidge was no novelty to this little hamlet in the hills, but the neighbors were frankly inte ested in the new Mrs. Coolidge and, with the freedom of old acquaintance: | they flocked to the homestead to pi respecu to the daughter of Connecti- cut’s governor. John and his bride met them in the very room where, on the morning of | August 3, 1923, his father took the oath of office in succession to Warren G. | Harding. Between visitors Mrs. Coolidge ‘made friends with Miss Aurora Pierce, who for many years kept house for Col. John C. Coolidge, grandfather of her hus- band, and they sat in the old-fashioned kitchen talking of the wedding and other things. The bridal couple reached here last | | night after a motor trip from Windsor, Mass. They came in Mrs. Coolidge's sport roadster, the gift of her father, and were welcomed by Miss Plerce. En route they visited John's great | aunt, Sarah Pollard, at Proctorsville | and looked in at Ludlow on John G. | Sargent, former United States Attorney General, and then continued on here.

CANAL N FOROH New Jersey Senator to Talk on Nicaraguan Project Over WMAL Tomorrow Night. ‘The proposal for the construction of ,an interoceanic canal through Nicara- !gua will be discussed in Nationa Rldlo Forum arranged by Star anc :ponsored by the Columbia Broadcast ing System by Senator Walter E. Edg of New Jersey over Station WMAL a 9:30 p.m. tomorrow. Senator Edge & the author of the resolution put througl the last Congress providing for a sur- vey of the Nicaraguan canal route. Congress has authorized an expenditure |of $150,000 to make this survey. Al- | ready a regiment of American engineers |is under orders to proceed to Nicara- gua for the survey, It may require two | years to complete the job. The_ever-increasing use of the Pan- Canal indicates that before many years have passed the connecting link bet.ween the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans will have reached and passed its full capacity for commerce. The situation was called to the attention of Congress by Senator Edge when he of- fered his resolution providing for a survey of the Nicaraguan canal route.: Under treaty with Nicaragua the United States possésses the right to develop this additional interoceanic canal. Prior to the decision of Congress to build the Panama Canal the proposal for the construction of a Nicaraguan canal had cen strongly advocated. Indeed, the dream of a Nicaraguan canal dates back | several centurles. Senator Edge, who is soon to retire from the Senate to become the Ameri- can Ambassador in Paris, has made a thorough study of the whole question relating to the projected Nicaraguan canal. The New Jersey Senator has had wide experience in public office. He was elected Governor of New Jersey in 1916. Three years later he was chosen for the United States Senate and in 1924 he was re-elected to the Senate with a plurality of 276,000 votes. He is a stanch supporter of President Hoover and his administration. As a member of the Senate finance committee he has had an active part in the consideration of the pending tariff bill, and it is his purpose to remain in the Senate until | after that measure hu p-nud FISHERMAN | FINDS BODY OF MISSING YOUTH| Long Search for William Reed of New Haven, Ends at Bar Har- bor, Me. By the Associated Press. BAR HARBOR, Me., September 25.— ‘The body of William Reed, 19 years old, son of Prof. and Mrs. Elmer Bliss Reed of New Haven, Conn., who had been missing since September 10, was found in Frenhhman's Bay near Egg Rock Light today by a lobster fisherman. Young Reed was last seen when he safled from Little Gotts Island in his small sloop for the family’s home at Hancock point. A search of more than a week was conducted for Reed by 150 lobster boats, 2 private yachts and 2 seaplanes, but the only discovery was a duffel bag | containing a chart and articles of clothing -washed ashore near Winter | Harbor. The location of the body, coupled | with the notation “15 Egg Rock Light" on the chart, indicated, according to sailors, that Reed was near the light, a short 2 miles from Bar Harbor and safety, when the gale on September 10 strurk his 19-foot sloop and capsized it.

BRALOVE 1106 Vermont Ave. DECATUR, 4376~ 8 UNDERWOLD: SENATOB WALTEI E. BDGI:. HOGAN WILL HEAD COUNSEL FOR FALL| Washington Attorney Returns; From Conference With Former Cabinet Officer. Back from a conference with Albert B. Fall in El Paso, Tex., Frank J. Hogan | of Washington, who successfully de- | fended Edward L. Doheny three years ago in the first criminal case growing out of the Senate oil investigation, con- | firmed reports today that he will be | chief counsel for the former Secretary | of the Interior when the latter stands trial here October 7 on a charge of ac- | cepting a $100,000 bribe from his “old | friend and fellow pi Denying rumors that Fall again will plead i1l health in an endeavor to post- pone his trial on the bribery charge, Mr. Hogan declared tocay that the former cabinet officer has no such intention. “When I saw Mr. Fall a week ago in El Paso, he was obviously a physically broken man,” said Hogan. “Despite his condition, however, Mr. Fall will be here on October 7 and will not seek a post- | ponement on account of physical dis- ability.” | After eight years of prosecution in | the civil and criminal courts, the former Secretary of the Interior was described as looking nearer 80 years of age than 67 and but a shadow of his former ro- bust figure. He drags his feet when he walks, like an old man, Mr. Hogan said, and his only outdoor indulgence is an occasional drive. Although u:hedukd for October 7, the first skirmish in the legal battle will come next Wednesday in the District Supreme Court before Justice William Hitz, when the legal points in the bribery case will be argued.
