JURY IN PANTAGES
TRIAL UNDER GUARD
Hearing of Woman Accused Of
nd-Degree Murder Will
Be Resumed Tuesday.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, September 1.-THE
seven man and five woman jurors hear
ing the second-degree murder trial of
Mrs. Alexander Pantages, wife of the
theater magnate. today we're under the
guard of court bailiffs in hotel where
they will remain until next Tuesday
when the hearing is resumed.
A three-day recess was taken by the
court last night after hearing three
prosecution witnesses. The State charges
that Mrs. Pantages was responsible for
an automobile collision alleged to have
caused the death of Joe Rokumoto. The
tages was under the influence of liquor
at the time of the accident.
Attorneys for both sides claimed an
advantage as the result Of the testi-
mony of DR.. Frank r. Webb. assistant
county autopsy surgeon, and DR.. Donald
Cass. who performed an operation on
Rokumoto.
Both physicians testified that Rokum-
OTTO succumbed as the result of injuries
and anaestheSia complications. Each
held that the operation had been neces-
sary. but under cross-examination
neither could say whether the accident
victim would have died Immediately had
the operation been omitted. Upon
these statements both sides claimed VIC
tory.
The defense contends that Rokumoto
was to some extent responsible for the
accident and that the injuries he re-
ceived therein were not necessarily
wholly responsible for the death.

The Gallineer Hospital INQUIRY is
scheduled to reopen this afternoon for
the purpose of hearing further testi-
mony bearing on the case of Mrs. Nettie
B. Thompson. whose death at the hos
pital following an operation last July
led to the charges made by Judge
Kathryn B. Sellers Of the Juvenile
Court.
The inquiry is being reopened as a
result OF an insistent demand by Phillip
w. Austin, attorney for the two chill
dren Of the widow, who precipitated
a stormy session of the investigating
committee yesterday, when he charged
1t with WEIGHING" in its probe Of con-
ditions at GallinRer.
To Hear Austin Witnesses.
After an executive conference, the
committee decided to give Austin an
opportunity to present witnesses today
In substantiation of his charges that
Mrs. Thompson had received improper
treatment and neglect before and after
her operation. 1t was explained on
behalf of the committee by George w.
Wilson, director of the Board of Public
Welfare. that the committee was re-
opening the case to avoid any suspicion
OF trying to keep any facts bearing on
1t out of the oficial record.
Austin had demanded yesterday that
DR.. James r. Costello. who operated on
Mrs. Thompson, be called as a witness
While absolving the surgeon from any
blame, he said DR.. Costello could give
information about the case which has
not vet reached the committee.
Mrs. Addie e. Wright, mother of Mrs
Thompson, also will be called as a wit
ness today, although it is understood
DR.. Costello Is absent from the city.
Hold Woman Consented.
Oficials at Gallinger, including DR..
Bloedorn. chief OF staff, testified at the
hearing yesterday. that no patient ever
was operated upon without their con-
sent or the consent Of those interested
in them. In the case Of Mrs. Thomp-
son, they told the committee, the pa
tient had consented to the operation
and notice Of it was posted two days
before.
Judge Sellers, who claims response
bility for sending the woman to Gal
linger for a physical test to aid her iii
obtaining a mothers pension, charged
IN her letter to the Board Of Public
Welfare, that the operation was per-
formed regardless Of Mrs. Thompson s
wishes.
1t was expected that with the con
clusion of today's testimony the Gal
linger case would be closed.
