By the Assoclated Press. 1OS ANGELES, October 22.—Pre- vented by a court ruling from intro- ducing evidence to show that the at- tack charge brought by Eunice Pringle was part of a blackmail plot,’ attorneys defending Alexander Pantages today relied upon the vaudeville magnate him- self to furnish testimony to climax their case: ‘That Pantages would vehemently deny that he attacked Miss Pringle dancer, in the mysurlouu little “con!er- ence room” adjoining his offices, was a foregone conclusion. “Mr, Pantages will be our last wit- ness,” sald Defense Attorney Jerry Giesler. “Before he goes on we have onlv one other witness, who will take flo more than 10 or 15 minutes, we be- eve.” Attorneys Clash. Bitter arguments between opposing lawyers over the admissability of cer- gln evidence prolonged the trial yes- Eflnm of the defense to base its case on a theory of conspiracy to black- mail were balked by Superior Judge Charles Fricke, who, acting on objec- tions by District Attorney Buron Fitts, ruled that the evidence was not suffi- cient to allow the introduction of testi- mony relative to Miss Pringle's asserted association with Nicholas Duneav, Rus- sian playwright, author and director of the vaudeville skit which the girl was attempting to book over the Pantages clrcule .at the ‘ime of the alleged at- tack. Mrs. Rose Fowler, Pantages’ secretary, and holdover witness from last Friday, was placed on the stand for a few min- utes when court opened, after which Harold C. O'Neil, former employe of the theater man, was called. O'Neil testi- fied that he lived next door to Duneav in a Hollywood apartment, and at- to tell of several pIr:iu at s testimony was hnlud by objecfionl Testimony Balked. Efforts of Helen Davis, usherette, and Migs. Clara Rhoads, matron of the woman’s rest room in the Pantages’ theatre, to repeat an alleged conversa- tion with Miss Pringle prior to the as- serted attack, also were stopped by State's objections. Mrs. Katherine Stone, switchboard operator in the Pantages main ce‘ testified she saw Miss Pringle in office at least 10 times, and that "she had mn her there as late as midnight.” “1 sa when he came w Mr. Pantages o\n of t.he little room after T had been | sald it he had attacked the girl, and ‘THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT UPHELD BY BOARD OF TRADE MEMBERS Vote Stands 24 to 6 After Speakers Debate Subject—Effecti 1veness Of Laws of England Cited. A debate on capital punishment last night by members of the public order committee of the Washington Board of ‘Trade ended with an overwhelming vote for recommendation that the board take its mna for the continuance of the death penalty in the District. Six men voted to abolish capital punishment, while 24 aligned themselves 28 1ts proponents, Speakers for this latter group included E. J. Murphy, presideht, of the board; Odell Smith, chairman of the committee; Capt. Frank 8. W. Burke, commander of the first police precinct; Rufus Lusk, executive secretary of the Operative Builders' Association; Robert Cottrell, execupve secretary of the Board of Trade; W. B. H. Thompson and Rufus Pearsan. Those speaking for the aboli- tion of the death penalty included Dr. J. Gregg Custis, W. B. Robinson and George Offutt. = Practically every speaker o{ euch pe side was agreed on one point, de other differences, It was that no mab~ ter whether the punishmeny for murder be death or life:imprisonment it should follow swiftly and surely after the com- mission of the crime. Captain First Speaker. ‘The first speaker was Capt. Burke who, from his personal experlence wif crim- inals, told the committee that death is the greatest deterrent to crime, and that even the most hardened murderer will blanch when faced with the elec- tric chair. He was followed by Mr. Lusk, who cited the crime statistics of England and of this country as proof of the pos- sibility of doing much to eradicate crime by a justice which exacts a life for a life. In England, he declared, there are not more than four or five unsolved murders a year, while any large city in the United States has a worse record. ‘The chief speaker against capital punishment was Mr. Offutt: “The im- position of life imprisonment instead of death for murder would do away with much of this sob stuff,” he asserted. “There were three murders directly traceable to the Hickman crime. Where a man is imprisoned for life he is taken from the public view and forgotten, not made a hero, such as appeals to a cer- tain degenerate class. There is no doubt thlt some sick mentalities seek to emulate their heroes who go gallows. We have got to lccept this as a fact and make laws to fit the people, not try to change the people to conform with_our laws. Hard to Get Juries. “Let’s get away from laws we can't enforce. Many people will not be par- ties to the taking of another life, and for this reason it is hard to get juries which will convict. This is no case of maudlin _sympathy for the criminal. Forget the criminal, but what about yo;x and I, what laws will best protect us! Speaking at another time Mr. Offutt : “If & man destroys your arm, shall you destroy his? Of courst not, but you apply one rule for the whole hodym another rule to a part of the "Lua imprisonment is real punish- ment. With death the life is snuffed out and punishment here is at an end, but when a man is imprisoned for life he is punished for many years. It is a far greater deterrent than the death nalty. In addition, if we do away with capital punishment, punishment would be much more certain, for any jurydl;.ultl!u before sending & man to Dr. Custis said that conditions all over the country prove that death is not an efficacious deterrent to crime. . Mr. Murphy said that no man will deliberately premeditate murder with the specter of the gallows as & bed fellow. He, too, made reference to the sureness and.swiftness of English jus- tice. Answering the argument that capital punishment is cruel and a relic of barbarism, he asserted that death is more humane than life imprisonment. “Close confinement for life is worse a thousand times than death,” he de- clared. Should Forget Criminal. “Why do we talk from the point of view of the criminal?” Mr. Cottrell de- clared. “We should forget the criminal and consider the victim and his family.” At another time he said, “What clearer proof do we need that death is the fact that Tawyers every day. are ac awyers every day are hting to get life sentences for t.hflr ts? 'To regulate murders we must luvs Justice lwm and terrible. Robinso: with him md said that nfe imprisonment With- out hope of reprleve is & more po! deterrent than death. 1t is almost impossible to impanel a jury at the present time which will render an honest verdict, Mr. Murphy declared. He said that jurors are afraid to convict for (ur of vengeance by other criminals and the only way to nnzt this condition is to kill the After the vote was taken on the question a slightly different vl:vpomt from that the committee Milton Meletaibes, an American citi- zen who was born in Greece and now lives in Chicago. He is a member of the Ahepa Soclety. “We will never be able to abolish crime,” he declared. “We in America $100,000 WORTH of BERKEY & GAY SUITES REDUCED After the Glorious Reign of Elizabetli « « . came the Seventh Street s the tamer, LT JACOBEAN FURNITURE STYLES FTER the glorious and sumptuous reign of Elizabeth in England came less ornamental Jacobean styles in furniture.
