By VIRGINIA MACPHERSON l United Press Stan Correspondent Hollywood, Dec. 20 = (U.P0 - White -haired Charlie Chaplin re- turns to the stand today to continue his dramatic denial that he is the father of Joan Barry'S 14-month- old daughter, Carol Ann,
 Joseph Scott, 77-year-old attor- ney for Miss Barry was expected to keep the multi-millionaire comedian in the witness box most of the day, renanding intimate details of his love affair with his one-tirne drama protege.
 Miss Barry asserted she was inti- mate with the aging actor twice on 1 the night of December g, 1922, the same night, she says her child was conceived
 Chaplin was wildly emphatic on that point yesterday. He did noth- ing more that night than offer Miss Barry a place to sleep, he shouted, waving his hands. His intimacies with her ended he said, more than a year and half before the birth of the curly-haired plaintiff in the paternity suit.
 Chaplin got his first glimpse of the dimpled baby he is accused of fathering aS he strode through the courtroom on his way to the stand. His eyes f1icked in her direction briefly and then glanced away with- out expression.
 Carol Ann spent the day in court alternately babbling baby talk and watching the legal proceedings with wide brown eyes.
 Isn't it a fact that you had 8 re- lationship with Miss Barry that night?" Scott asked Chaplin.
 No, it is not!" snapped the con1- edian.
 Didn't you sleep with her?"
 "No! Chaplin shouted. He said his last relationship with Miss Barry was in February. 1922, when he broke of their intimacies.
 You mean sexual relations?" Scott asked. "Yes, I mean that, but that's a harsh word," Chaplin replied.
 "Yes it is." drawled Scott, That's a harsh word. I'm sorry hurt your feelings"
 Scott asked him what his answer was when Miss Barry told him she was going to bear his child. T told her that whatever her condition was she had brought it on herself" Chaplin said.
 Tt was not your fault?"
 "Nol" Chaplin shouted again.
 Then he lost his temper and gestured wildly toward the bench.
 I've committed no crime, your honor" he roared, pounding the witness stand with his fist and tearing his hair. ''I'm human; I can't help it. This man is try ing to make me look like a mon- ster"
 Superior Judge Henry M. Willis told him to tone down his drama tics. The judge said that applied to Scott, also.
 Chaplin wiped his brow and emphatically denied he made love to Miss Barry the night she broke into his luxurious home waving a pistol in suicide gestures and then changed her mind and spent the night. Neither, he said, did he make love to her when she told him of her condition and begged him to marry her.
 Chaplin'S version matched only in spots the one Scott said he in- tended to prove.
 We will show," the attorney told Seven-woman-five-man jury, That Chaplin had intimate rela- tions with Miss Barry the night she threatened to kill herself and again the next morning." The same thing happened a week later Scott said, when the com- edian invited Miss Barry back again for another brief interval of romantic passion.
 Then he drove her home" Scott continued, land Miss Barry asked him how she could live on $25 a week. They happened to be pass ing the Beverly Hills jail and he told her here's a good place for you to live and let her out"
 Scott said Miss Barry visited the comedian on May 8 to tell him of her condition, but scooted out fast when she surprised an linclad young lady in his bedroom.
 "She went back late in May ol early June" he continued, and Chaplin admitted the baby was his and promised to care for it. He made love to her on the edge of his fancy swimming pool, but re- fused her fearful pleas of mar riage."
 Scott said Chaplin told Miss Barry. a baby was Q biological mistake" and that he had great gift as an artist and he intended to protect 1t.
 I'm not marrying anyone" Scott quoted Chaplin as saying. T must have peace-if I have to spend 20 years in Jail to get itl" Petroleum production in Bolivia
