forts of Pantages to have false in
i' rmation given to District Attor
r.- y Fitts by his theatre employes
was related by three state’s wit
nesses in his trial on a statutory
charge.

Pantages told him to tell an un
truth to Fitts and suggested Panta

Roy Keene, Jobelman’s former
assistant testified that Pantages
ordered him to tell Fitts that the
desk which Pantages had him place
in the alleged attack room follow
ing Pantages’ arrest, had been
there previously and that the room
•was used as an office. He also said
that Pantages told him to tell Miss
Tiilie Russo, former usherette be
fore she was called to Fitts office to
"Remember only three minutes
elapsed from the time Miss Pringle
left the theatre balcony until she
heard screams”. Miss Russo testi
fied that Pantages told her to say
the Pringle girl went in and came
out of the theatre alone. Miss Russo
also testified at a direct examina
tion that she saw Pantages take the
girl to the theatre and leave her
there about a half hour, then re
turn and take Miss Pringle out the
balcony exit to the second floor and
she heard screams about half an
hour later.
The usherette, who was on the
stand when the court adjourned
