The attack | of the defense was made on Wise's testimony regarding his mentality | in which it was shown that he was | once a psychopathic ward patient. The defense inquired: “Did you see this woman?” meaning the one W. L. Gordon brought into the casc on Monday. “Mystery” Described Wise answered “Yes,” and de- ceribed her as about 22 or 25 years old, and about, five feet and a half, dark, curly hair and she wore no hat. Wise sald the woman reacned out and touched Miss Pringle dur- ing the time Miss Pringle was try- ing to get out of Pantages' office. Wise stuck to the story corrob- orating Gordon’s testimony. The defense introduced hospital records showing Wise had heen confined|W to the mental ward. for observa- tion. “ e was “meataliy sick, bor- dering on insanity, but not danger- ous,”" the defense showed by .the hospital records. Corrobature Testimony Louis Fisher, 16-year-old copy boy of a Los Angeles newspaper, testified to about the same facts as Gordon and Wise and identified Pantages as the man he saw in the little room fixing his clothes after hearing the girl scream and ac- companying Wise to the scene of the alleged attack on Miss Pringle. el A CHAMBER IS TQjz ™ = =™ VOTE TOMORROW MISSIONS ARE il Heae 13 Month Gl WINNERS FIRST “Vote on Prop P.C.L.
