PANTACES READY - T0 DBNY EAARGE Prosecution = Expects - to Complete Testimony Be- fore Nightfall. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 14.—The end of the State's case l{llnsl Alex- ander Pantages, multi-millionaire the- ater man charged with attacking Eu- nice Pringle, dancer, appeared in sight today with the announcement that prosecution testimony possibly would. be completed by adjournment tonight. Defense _attorneys Pantages would take the stand and offer a complete denial of Miss Prin- gle's story of what happened in a con- ference room -adjoining the theater man's private office on the day of the alleged attack. Three physicians_who examined Miss Pringle after she fled from the room were to appear. Tillie Russo, former usherette em- ployed by Pantages, was still at the dis- posal of defense attorneys for “further cross-examinatign. as she left the stand Friday, after she had testified that Pantages coachied her as to what story she was to tell the district attorney. While the prosecution expects to end its case in short order, District Attorney | Burton Fitts indicated that several witnesses are being reserved by the State for sensational rebuttal testimony. The nature of this testimony was not disclosed. Defense Attorney W. I. Gilbert has announced that about 20 witnesses will be called in behalf of Pantages. Some of their testimony will be lengthy and lawyers on both sides declared the case cannot possibly go to the jury of six men and six women for another 10 days or two weeks. There was a lull in the controversy | Doukhobors Decide to Eat After indicated that | Miss Russo fainted | between Pitts and District _ Attorney Stephen Connel of San Diego County over the imprisonment of Jay Sheridan, prosecution witness against Pantages. Sheridan is in jail in San Diego in de- !;\:lt of $10,000 bail on a bad check charge. Fitts charged that Connel lllo‘d friends of Pantdges to have :Sheridan's bail ‘increased from $2,500 to $10,000. The bail was increased, Fitts charged, | because Pantages interests knew Sheri- | dan could not raise the higher sum and that by “being forced.to admit their witness s in jail” the prosecution would be embarrassed before the jury. Connel denied the charges and said }'le ‘:Duld investigate the Sheridan case urther. Three Days Without Food.
