TWO WOMEN HELD FOR BRIBERY PLOT State’s Witness in Pantages Case Declared Offered $25,000 in Note. By the Ascociated Press. LOS ANGELES, September 9.—Two Hollywood young women were in jail in default of $25,000 bail each today, charged with suggesting to a State's witness that $25,000 might be given him If he would testify against the State in the forthecoming criminal as- sault trial of Alexander Pantages, mil- lionaire theater magnate. The two, Nancy Lee, 25-year-old gculptress, and her half-sister, Janice Hill, 19-year-old stenographer, were accused by District Attorney Buron Fitts of making the offer in a note to the witness, whose identity was withheld. “Planted” in House Charged. Miss Lee and Miss Hill were ar- rested yesterday in a rooming house in which ~Fitts said he was convinced they had been “planted” a week ago by persons seeking to intimidate prose- ution witnesses in the Pantages case. itts later declared he might disclose evidence and names of those whom he believed responsible. The note, Fitts said, was turned over to him by a man living at the rooming house. He and the landlady of the house were identified as State's wit- nesses in the case of Pantages, who is to go on trial September 23 on charges brought by Eunice Pringle, 17-year-old dancer. ‘The note, Fitts said, had been slip- ped under the man's door, and sug- gested “there might be $25,000 in it for you if you will testify that the Pringle girl” inflicted upon herself bruises which she has declared were made by the 54-year-old theater magnate. The writing on the note, he added, was Identical with that of Miss Lee. Invited to Parties. The roomer, and also the landlady, the district attorney explained, had advised him four days ago that the two young women had urged them to join “drinking parties in their room. Both refused, and Saturday night the note was employed. The girls were formally charged with attempting to influence witnesses, sus- picion of assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a highly potent liquor. The two later charges followed - a battle staged by the two young women to prevent their arrest Sunday after- noon. The landlady, who was placed as a guard over them while they pre- pared for their removal to jail, rushed out of the room in the midst of sounds of a fight. She said that Miss Lee threatened her with a_ butcher knife, while Miss Hill kicked her. ‘When -confronted by Fitts the two girls denied they had been ‘“planted” in the rooming house or that their presence there was for any but legiti- mate reasons. Shown the note, Miss Lee paled slightly. She was ordered to copy its contents in her own handwrit- ing. and the arrest of herself and com- panion followed. Handwriting Compared. Fitts stated that the penmanship not only was identical but that the note had been written on the back of a typewritten letter which was addressed to Miss Lee.
