ACCUSED MAN
SEEKING ERROR
AT NEWCASTLE
Defendant in 1882
Shortage Case BIameS
'MiStake.'
BIZ Time Special

BIZ Times Special
NEWCASTLE, Ind, Oct. a.
Oscar Grant, city water department
clerk for nine years, who is facing
a charge of embezzling public funds
following discovery of a $13,821
shortage in his accounts, is working
daily on his records in an effort to
find what he terms "a mistake"
which he blames for his trouble.
Unable to provide bond. Grants
request that he be permitted to go
over records was granted by city
officials. They announce, however,
that he will not be permitted to
make any alterations and that he
will work under close supervision.
A report is current here that if
Grant is unable to find an error to
explain the apparent shortage he
will plead guilty, but he denies he
is considering such action.
In the meantime, Vaughn Wise
and George Dunn, examiners for the
state board of accounts, continue to
search water department records to
determine if there is any more
shortages, the one on which Grant
was arrested being based on records
for only the past twenty-one
months. He was appointed clerk
May /, 1920.
Arrest of Grant was made at his
pretentious country home south of
here on the Spiceland road.
1t is understood that most Of the
alleged defalcations of Grant were
made from water payments of the
local Chrysler automobile plant,
With the shortage at the $13,821
mark, the city of Newcastle stands
to lose $8,321, as Grant was bonded
for only $4,000. The surety COM
pany, which signed his bond, it is
said, will have prior claim to any
property he owns toward reimburse
ment on the bond, but it can collect
nothing from the Grant home, as it
is covered by first and second mort
cages which Grant assumed when
he bought it on a partial payment
plan.
Robert Heath has been appointed
Grants successor.

Alaskan Pal. of Pantages
Will Take Stand in
His Defense.
CONSPIRACY is CHARGED
Dancer Alleged Attack to
Get Hush Money, Is
Contention.
BY GEORGE H. BEALE,
United Press staff Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22.-The
great Alaskan gold rush, with its
Klondike, its Dawson City and its
dance halls, furnished the back
ground for today's session of the
trial of Alexander Pantages, charged
with criminally attacking a 17-year-
old dancer, Eunice Pringle.
First to the witness stand will be
James Townsend, who took the first
troupe" into the north country and
after him will come Pantages, who
ran small Klondike stake" into a
$20,00o,000 theater business.
Among the spectators will be Kate
Rockwell, member of the company
which Townsend directed, the first
Alaskan dance hall queen and final
ly the benefactresS of Pantages.
QuarreIed With Pantages
Since the days when she and
Pantages were close friends in Daw-
son City they have quarreled Bit
terly. She came here from Bend,
Ore, her present home, prepared to
testify against the theater man. The
prosecution decided her testimony
was unnecessary. She has been at
the trial daily.
Townsend presumably will tell
about the efforts of Miss Pringle to
get Pantages to place her on his
vaudeville circuit. He has been stage
director for Pantages since they
formed a close friendship in the
Klondike days.
Jimmy Townsend took the first
troupe into Alaska" Kate Rockwell
said before court opened. "He got
the bunch together in Victoria.
was one of the entertainers.
ALEX (PantageS) came to work as
waiter at the same place Town
send took us. Alex and Jimmy be-
came the closest of friends"
Frameup Is Charged
The defense expects Townsend to
back the theory that Miss PringIe
claimed an assault was made on her
either to get some of Pantages'
wealth or to get place on his
vaudeville circuit.
The millionaire sportsman and
Snowman then will contradict the
claims of Miss Pringle.
He is expected to state that they
were together in the conference
room" only three minutes and that
in that time she tore her own clothes
and started to scream.
Miss Pringle claims he tore her
clothes when he assaulted her. lie
will contend she conspired to black
mail.
Pantages probably will be the final
witness for the defense. Final argu-
ments probably will take up all OF
Wednesdays session and the case
should reach the jury of six men
and six women by Thursday night.

ALLEGE DEFAMATION

Suspicion in Thefts.

the alleged unjust" detention of

a knife, but later dropped the

NOTED LAWYER
PLEADS THAT
FALL GO FREE
Hogan Pounds at Charges
of Prosecution in
Oil Case.
BY HERBERT LITTLE,
United Press staff CorreSDoudeut

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Frank
j. Hogan, Washington attorney,
who has become famous as the de-
fender of oil milhonaires indicted
as result Of the senate Teapot Dome
investigation, continued his plea in
the District of Columbia supreme
court today for vindication of form
er Secretary of Interior Albert B.
Fall.
AS the member of the Harding
cabinet entrusted with cuStodianship
of government oil lands, Fall was
the official with whom the oil men
dealt. He is on trial charged with
accepting a 100000 bride from E. l..
Doheny, muti-millionaire petroleum
king of the west.
Hogan started his. plea Monday
after former Senator Atlee Pom
creme of Ohio had summed up the
governments case. For the theme
of his opening remarks, Hogan took
Pomerene's closing statement that
personal ambition rather than patri-
otism had induced Doheny to lease
the Elk Hills naval oil reserve of
California.
Pomerene had quoted Samuel
Johnson'S famous statements: PA
triotism is the last refuge of a
scoundrel."
do you know this author whom
the prosecution quotes as its last
authority?" Hogan shouted, rushing
to the open space in front of the
jury box. HE is the man who said
Washington should have been
hanged from a yardarm, and called
members of the Revolutionary army
the scum of Europe.
HE is the man who insulted the
ancestors of every one of you, the
patriots who fought for American
liberty"
Hogan apparently had anticipated
the Johnson quotation, which has
been used by prosecution counsel in
previous oil trials. After his pero-
ration on Johnson's views, Ho-
gan launched an imprisoned de-
Tense plea, which he is to conclude
today.

Decision.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Oct. %.
Fred c. Miller, who was mayor of
Michigan City when the city man
ager form of government was put
into effect, today resumed duties
with members of his administra-
ton from, 1917 to 1921.
The change resulted from a ruling
by Judge Harry L. Crumpacker
holding that it was the only course
open in view of the Indiana
supreme court decision that the
manager form law is uncon-
stitutional.
Ruling was made after manager
forces had sought restraining
order to prevent Miller and his
fellow officials from resuming their
duties.
The rival factions took the mat
tiers into court last week, Miller
seeking an custer order against the
city officials and they retaliating
with a plea for an injunction
against him. Arthur L. Gilliom
was among the attorneys at Miller's
table when arguments on the two
motions opened before Judge Crun-
packer.
