SIEGEL MAY NOT
OFFER DEFENCE
Counsel Relies on CrOss-Exami-
nation Of Witnesses for
the state.
PLANS NOT YET COMPLETE

GENgsEo. y. Y. Nov 22.-Whether
Henry Siegel takes the stand in his
own defence or John y. Stanchfeld his
counsel relies on the ss-examination
of the states witnesses TO free his client
OF the grand larceny charge depends, "
was said to-day by those close TO the
defence, on the testimony Joseph n
Pridday gives when Assistant District
Attorney Train recalls him for the state
tomorrow morning Both Mr.. Stsnch-
field and his associates and tho Assistant
District Attorneys stnf worked MI day
to-day and part OF the night preparing
their final arguments.
Mr.. Stanchacd said he did not eN-
pect it would be necessary to cal Siecel,
but that lie would not decide that point
until Mr. Trains last witness had com
pletel his testimony
White II is thought likely that no de-
fence will bo offered by Siegers counsel
the defence has three or four witnesses
who may testify that S,egel had charge
OF the merchandise end OF the Siegel-
VoRe dry goods enterprises, while Nogei
attended TO the financial matters. Mr..
Stanchfleld however. has already Of
fered TO the jury testimony TO that effect
in his cross-cSnminatior ~ oscar \.
Prall in particular.
The strongest witness for the defence
on this theory is Sidney Solomon. mer-
chandse manager Of ihe Siegel-Cooper
store Of Chicago. who formerly was man
ager OF the Fourteenth street Store.
Solomon came here yesterday

his argument to strike from the record

on the part of S,gel, No3e, and hriN

strong point OF the fact that the jury
was allowed to see the charts prepared
by state Bank Examiner Daniel Quinn
and Expert Accountant John Flint These

cording to the credit statements and the
actual condition az Flint saw IL. The de

1910 Siegel sat a. Nogers desk and tool

point is that Frank l.. Champion, cashier
