Star-Studded Traffic Trial in Beverly Hills
LA Evening Herald Examiner
It will look like a roll call of Hollywood male stars in PoliceJudge Charles J. Griffin’s Beverly Hills court late today.
The occasion will be the hit-run driving trial of John W. Myers, former owner of the La Conga, Hollywood night spot.
Among those who have been subpoened as witnesses in behalf of Meyers are Errol Flynn, Bruce Cabot and Walter Pidgeon, all of whom either saw the accident or talked to Myers immediately after it occurred, according to attorney Richard Cantillon, representing Meyers.
Meyers is charged with having fled the scene of an accident involving his automobile and another car driven by George v. Tribe.
Tribe’s wife, Darlene, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth Thorpe, all were seriously injured in the accident, it is charged.
