The Utah Senator's attack came at
the opening of q three-hour session
especially set aside to dispose Of all re-
naming committee amendments to the
administrative sections Of the measure
and clear the way for consideration OF

with Washington. Jefferson and others
for adequate tariff protection.

asked, when plead for protection to

Wife Is Denied New Trial as
Husband Is indicted on
Interference Count.
BY the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, october 5.-Mr and
Mrs. Alexander Pantages, the husband
on trial for a criminal offense against
17-year-old girl, and the wife facing
a prison sentence for killing a man in
an automobile accident, felt the stern
pinch Of the law today from court of
justice and county grand jury.
The wife, i'll, reclining In a wheel
chair before Superior Judge Carols s.
Hardy, heard her plea for new trial
rebukes to the State and defense and
censured pastor for his remarks.
Walking beside his wife from the
courtroom, the multi-millionaire theater
owner, shoulders dropping and head
bowed, learned of a sudden turn in his
trial In which grand jury brought a
secret indictment for alleged interfer-
ence with State witness.
Mrs. Pantages. on statement OF DR..
Benjamin Blank, county physician, re-
tanned her freedom on $50 900 bail be-
cause she is dangerously nl' and in
generation might mean death" Judge
Hardy permitted filing of an application
for probation, which will be heard Oc-
tober 25 coincident with sentence. For
the death of Juro Rokumoto last June
she might be imprisoned from to 10
years.
The defense. in an argument for
new trial, attacked the State for with
holding expert testimony as rebuttal of
defense evidence at Mrs. Pantages' trial,
and Judge Hardy followed with q con-
demnation of such procedure. He de-
clared, however, that the verdict was
justified and denounced the defense for
its argument that the prosecution CON
fused the jury by filing a second-degree
murder charge, which permitted. one of
three verdicts-manslaugh second
degree murder or acquittal.''
The Rev. r. P. Shuler drew the
courts ire for his remark of alleged
irregularities in the trial and further
failure to answer promptly a subpoena
for today's hearing. The pastors ac-
cusations were denied from the witness
stand by Ira Gay, juror. and Charles
Bryant court bailiff Mr.. Shuler is
awaiting a bench decision on contempt
Of court charges placed against him
for the statements.
Ivan r. T. Samsonoff, State witness,
caused the grand jury indictment in
the husbands trial by asserting a pri-
vate detective told him he would be
taken care of" II he gave Mr.. Pantages
a break
The disclosure added another charge
to the States previous accusations that
Pantages had attempted to muzzle wit
nesses following an alleged attack on
Eunice Pringle, dancer, last August
in his private office.
Pantages is at liberty on $25 900 bail.
Trial of the charges opened Tuesday.
