PANTAGES CASE TO. |? Head GO T0 JURY TODAY! Prosecution Demands Verdict! Carrying aSentenceto | State's Prison | | Los Angeles, Oct. 25.—(P)—The case of Alexander Pantages, wealthy showman accused of a statutory of- | fense against Eunice Pringle, young. dancer, probably will go to the jury: late today. Superior Judge Charles Fricke sald | he expected the closing arguments, interrupted by the sudden illness of | a woman juror yesterday. to be coms | pleted this afternoon, followed by his | instructions to the jury. Mrs. Lotta Steiner became ill as de- | fense counsel was summing up’ the | testimony. It was beleved the strain of the long trial caused her illness, as | in the case of Juror Harvey N. Con- nett, who previously was excused from the box. Should Mrs. Steiner be unable to return to the jury her place will be taken, by an alternate, Charles ‘Thomas. ‘The trial of Pantages began Oct. 1.) | He is accused of having attacked Miss | cago, seerctary. Pringle in his private office, where' she said she went to book a vaude- ville act. The 54-year-old theatrical magnate denied the charge and countered that Miss Pringle had sought to blackmail him. In his closing address to the jury Assistant Prosecutor Robert P. Stew- ert demanded a verdict carrying a sentence to state's prison. Jurors Selected for Osmund Stray Tria! At Term in Stanley) Stanley, N. D. Oct. 25—Jurors were selected in district court here for the trial of Osmund Stray, Stanley, who is charged with possession of liquor.) according to State's Attorney C. N. Cottingham. Judge George H. Moell- ring, of Williston, is the presiding judge. The accusation against Stray, who is a farmer residing three and one- half miles north of town, is the re- sult of a raid upon his farm made last May by Sheriff Square A. War- ren and his deputies. Several bot- tles of alleged liquor were obtained. Following the trial of Stray, Lionel Fiadeland, of Ross, will be tried on a statutory charge. At an earlly date, also, according to Mr. Cottingham. trial of Dan Cuffe, former Standard Oil company agent at Stanley, on a cherge of embezzlement, will be called. Mr. Cottingham was in Mi- not. conferring with Standard Oil of- ficials regarding this case. In the case of A. Flath, Stan- ley physician charged with taking! indecent liberties with children, an application for writ of habeas cor- pus has been denied by Judge Moell- ring, and as a result a new applica- tion for such a writ is to be made to the supreme court. according to ¥. F. Wykoff, attorney for the de- fendant. The writ was asked after Judge Moellring overruled a demurrer filed by the defendant. Tue demurrer was ba: on the grounds that the al- ions set forth in the informa- m do not constitute a crime un- dsr the North Dakota statutes. Should the writ be applied for to the supreme court and be granted, the case against the physician, ac- cording to the state's atorney, will prebably be dropped. If, however, the supreme court, like the district court, denies the application, the case will be called for trial very soon afierward, Cottingham said. The complaining witnesses against Tilath are three minor boys of the Stanley community. Trial of A. J. Ross, former presi- deni of the defunct Citizens State Bank of Stanley, against whom four charges of embezzlement have been pending, will probably not take place at this term of court, according to the state's attorney. Five prosecu- tion witnesses, it is said. have de- clared that they are unwilling to tes- tify against him, and have signed statements asking that the charges not be pressed. $800 Reward Is Split - AmongBanditCatchers Fargo, N.

Early estimates yesterday placed the loss at $50,000,000 in the belief jthe six vaults in the building had | \been penetrated by .eat sufficientiy to damage many valuable master films stored there. Fear that these films had been irreparably damaged or destroyed entirely was allayed to- day, at least partially, by the opening of one of the rooms last night. Films were found in perfect condition. The opening had been delayed until the ; Sun set because experts said gases ‘might have been formed inside dur- ing the fire that would be ignited by the heat of the sunlight. The re- maining vaults were to be opened | today. A million feet of film was burned. Radio-Keith-Orpheum _ productions estimated their film loss at $500,000, exclusive of possible destruction of master films in the unopened vaults. | Another estimated loss of $60,000 given by producers of “Hell's Angels,” 30,000 feet of this master film appa stroyed.
