Decision Declared To
Be Dangerous.
PREMIUM ON FORCE
Petition Defends Prose-
cution's Conduct Dur
ing Trial.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4. U.H-
The attorney generals and dis
trict attorneys S office today filed
y petition for rchcaring by the
appellate court of its decision in
granting Alexander Pantagcs n new
trial on the charge that he assault
cd l7-ycar-old Euncc Pringle.
The petition declared that if the
recent decision was permitted to
stand it would bring "fearful re-
suits for womanhood of the state.
The Fearful results, it was
said, would follow placing "a prem
ium on the use of force and vio-
lcncc in the case of an attack upon
a girl under lS years of ags.
Points Disputed
In reversing the superior court
decision in which the multi-million-
are theatre man was denied 4 new
trial after he was convicted of as
saulting Miss Pringlc, the appellate
court contcndcd that since the girl,
in her testimony, claimed Pantagcs
used force that evidence concerning
her chastity was improperly barred
from the defense case by Superior
Judge Charles Frickc.
In the petition for a rehearine,
the state pointed out that under
such an Interpretation of the law,
when force and violence were
charged in the ease of an attack up
on girl under Is wears, the de
fcndant could introduce evidence
concerning his victim 5 chastity to
a two-old purpose, first TO dis
credit her testimony against him
and second to alternate the act.
The pcrpctrator of an attack OBJ
tains the consent of his victim, III
such case, under the appellate
court interpretation, the petition
charged. he then would be debarrcd
from besmirching her reputation
The petition continues that it there
fore would stand to the girl $ ad
vantage to give her consent to the
attack and thereby save herself
from having her reputation public
" assailcd if she denounced ncr at
| tackcr.
The petition also defended tho
conduct of the prosecution.
