ZlaKeC was called late WeQneS-
day and before he could answer any
important questions, the state OBJ
jected to the trend of the queries
and the jury was excluded while
counsel argued before Judge
Charles F'ricke.
District Attorney Buron Fits
contended that the relations be-
tween the dancer and other men
had nothing to do with the case.
w. 1. Gilbert, leading the argu-
mentS of the defense, answered
that their case was constructed on
the theory that Miss Pringle sought
to gain money or stage fame by
forcing Pantages into compromis-
ing situation.
Make Offer of Proof
Judge Fricke finally granted the
states objection, but said the de-
tense would be allowed to make for
NAL offer of proof today. If the
defense can establish evidence tend
ing to show that conspiracy was
planned, the questioning will be al
lowed, the judge said.
Jerry Glesler, defense attorney,
commended that the testimony of Gar
land Biffle, defense witness indicted
by the county grand jury for per-
jury, established such evidence.
Bif1e had testified that he heard
the girl talking to Dunaev in the
lobby of the Pantages theater build
ing the day of the alleged attack
and that she told the playwright
che will be sorry if he don't book
my act"
mo Cold Feet"
Don't get cold feet" Biffle said
DunaeV replied.
Judge Fricke ruled this was not
sufficient.
Zlaket was preceded on the wit
ness stand by c. H. Heard, optom-
etrist, who has an office on the
second floor of the Pantages build
ing.
Heard testified that he saw Pant
ages and Miss Pringle leave the
balcony of the theater and go to-
ward the showman'S office on the
mezzanine floor below. A few min
utes later, he said, he heard screams
and ran out to see Miss Pringle run
ming down the mezzanine corridor.

LAUDS PEACE MOVE
MaCDonaId'S Visit Called
Diplomatic Triumph.

"Shirt-sleeve diplomacy has scored
another victory in Anglo-American
relations"
This declaration was made today
by Ray S. Trent, chairman of the
executive. committee of the Indiana
council on international relations, in
an address at noon before the Wom-
ans Alliance of All Souls Unitarian
church on the recent peace parley
of Ramsay Macdonald, Britain's

They gnawed over the century old
bone of contention-English block

fearlessly to a conclusion-'Never

Generous cooperation between
England and America has sup

Washington. d. c.. July 24.-Per-
haps there is something more tedious
than making tariff bill, but no one
can guess what it is.

never-ending succession of dry briefs

statements and darned lies about

jolly life of a member OF the Senate
