SECOND DEGREE MURDER TRIAL
 COMES TO END
Mrs. Pantages' Case Goes to Jury of Seven Men
 and Five Women IMPRISONED PLEA FOR GUILTY VERDICT Trial Has Been Intensified by Many Sensational
 Developments

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 25.- The fate of Mrs Lois Pantages rests with jury today to weigh the evidence presented at the sec ond degree murder trial of the wealthy woman and wife of the theatrical magnate, Alexander Pan tages, for the death of Joe Roku- moto, Japanese gardener, who died after being struck by an automo- bile driven by Mrs. Pantages, while in an alleged intoxicated condi- tion
 After three weeks of testimony and arguments, the seven men and five women took the case.
 The trial was closed by Deputy District Attorney Costello who made an impassioned plea for conviction and recommendation of the maxi mum penalty for second degree murder which is from five years to life in San Quentin penitentiary
 We have heard there is one law for the rich and another for the poor. By your rGrdict we shall see," declared Costello, in closing.
 Hard Fought Case
 The case has been hard fought from start to finish and Mrs. Pan tages took the stand herself and said she was not intoxicated at the time of the accident. When the trial was called for the date to be set, Mrs. Pantages entered not guilty plea. The case was tried before Superior Court Judge Charles Fricke.
 Her Testimony
 T did not have single drink of intoxicating liquor the day of the accident" Mrs. Pantages testified in a calm voice, on one of the first questions asked by her counsel, Max Steuer, when she was placed on the stand to give testimony in her own defense.
 The state has held Mrs. Pan tages responsible for Rokumoto's death, which occurred few days after her automobile collided with his last June, because of her al- legged intoxication and alleged guilt in causing the crash.
 ''I was not drunk" Mrs. Pantages testified. "Just before the crash I tried desperately to turn the wheel of my car to avoid hitting Rokumoto's. I turned into Sunset and there was a car in front of me. I tried hard as possible to get into the middle of the road. Halfway to Serrano Street car on my right footed it's horn and I pulled over to my left. I was at the intersection when Rokumoto's car turned left"
 For The Prosecution
 Two important witnesses during the trial, for the prosecution, were Harry D. and John F. Mason, the latter a retired Texas rancher with gray hair and keen eye, who took no chances with his testimony. The

From this point q part Of the Union
Army was sent north to attempt
to cross Bull Run and turn the
Confederate left wing. This move
ment brought on q battle known as
the First Bull Run or First Manas-

Here Pope gathered his forces on
August 80 and 81, 1862, after the
Second Manassas, and from this
point he dispatched troops to check
General Jackson at Ok Hill while
the Union forces retreated to the
defenses at Alexandria.
For the type Of warfare which
prevailed during the civil war the

Numerous knolls and hills dot the
landscape over which the tourist

portunities for offense and defense.
Proceeding out OF Centerville the
tourist contrasts scenes Of nearly 20
years ago with those which he en-
counters now. A brood Of young

action with the forces Of General

Jackson had his forces deployed
