Pearson, Publicity Chairman Caril Fugate's Murder Trial . Nearing Jury Lincoln, Neb.- (UPD -The al most month-long murder trial of a 15-year-old school girl drew near its end today with prosecution and defense attor neys delivering their closing arguments. The prosecution charges Caril Ann Fugate helped her boy friend, Charles Stark weather, 19, slay at least one of his 11 victims last winter Robert Jensen, 17. She is as guilty of murder as though she fired the fatal shot, ac cording to the state. Faces Death Penalty If found guilty she faces the same death penalty as was imposed on Starkweather for the same slaying; a conviction that he has appealed to "the State Supreme court. How ever, County Attorney Elmer Scheele was not expected to indicate until the last moment whether he would seek execu tion for Caril. The defense maintains Caril was merely a frightened child. She accompanied Starkweath er through nine murderous days in the belief that this would save the lives of her family and herself, according to Caril's story. No Time Limit Judge Harry A. Spencer set no time limit for the closing arguments, but the attorneys agreed with his suggestion that they confine their re marks to the five-hour court day, to be divided equally. Under rules of the court, Scheele was to lead off, using no less than half his allotted time. Defense attorney John McArthur was to come next, followed by Scheele's final argument. Spencer will deliver his in structions to the seven-man. five-woman jury Thursday, after which the jurors wUl retire to decide Caril's fate.
