Jan. 25. (AP) Gordon Stewart Northcott tonight was faced with the task of producing testimony to disprove a towering mass of evidence upon which the state will base its de mand that he be hanged for the slaying of Lewis and Nelson Winslow and an unidentified Mex ican lad. The prosecution, its evidence pronounced "air tight" by technical investigation experts brought its case to a close late today after a confession of North cott to the murder of the Mexican boy had been entered in the rec ords, over repeated objections of the young Canadian, acting as his oWn counsel. Neither Jessie Clark, sister of Sanford Clark, the 15 year old boy whose story of alleged atroc ities at Northcott's Wlneville thicken ranch Bet the police on his young uncle's trail, nor Cyrus Northcott, Gordon Stewart's 2-vear-old father, were placed on the stand. Youth Makes First MoveAs State Rests The young defendant-counsel was busy scribbling at his tabic when Chief Deputy District At torney Earl C; Redwine, dismissed Harry Brewster, Los Angeles dep uty sheriff from the stand, and said quietly, The state rests. Northcott stared at the prose cutor as If he was not sure he had heard aright. Then he rose slowly and in a low voice made the first move in his defense with a request that the jury be taken to the alleged "murder farm." (Turn to Page 10, Please.)
