STATE FINISHES
CASE AGAINST
YOUNG MENJOU

LOS ANGELES, Aug. %. U.P)--
The state at noon today rested its
case against Harold L. Menjou
charged with drunk driving and
murder as the result of an auto
mobile accident which brought

mechanic, had testified that Men
jou's roadster was hoped up by
the addition of overhead valves and
other devises.
Deputy Sheriff George Contreras
was another witness. He said he
talked to the youth the day after
the tragedy.
II talked to him the day after
the crash and when he asked me
where Miss Gauthier was l told
him in the morgue'," the deputy
sheriff said. He said that the youth
appeared unaware of the events of
the previous evening but insisted
he had not had a drink.
Menjou, who is 20 years old, is
the adopted son of Adolph Menjou,
actor, who now is divorced from
the youths mother.
