IS (AP) Contradictions and denials were flung with startling rapidity Into the trial of Alexander Pan tages today as the defense and one of its witnesses fought warily the state's charges of perjury and a statutory offense. The first stone wall attempt of the defense to clear the multimil lionaire theatrical man of Eunice Prlngle's accusation, that he at tacked her in his private office last August 9 was completed with the last of testimony from four medieal experts. In a second move, the defense drew testimony from Jake Rosen stein, a 20 year old publicity agent employe, "that he had seen Miss Pringie in Pantages' office "at least once a week and until late hours from May 1 to August 9." Testimony Differs From That Given by Co-ed Miss Pringie, who is a dancer, claimed she had been there but three times. The scene changed from Pan tages fight to that of a man who hinted to a blackmail frameup by Miss Pringie and was arrested for perjury Garland Biffle, law book salesman.

SHAWNEE ESCAPES FEDERAL RAIDERS United States Officials are Greatly Disappointed At Getaway WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. (AP) The recent Spectacular prohibi tion raids on the New Jersey coast contained a great disappointment in the opinion of Assistant Secre tary Lowman because of the es cape of the Canadian ship Shaw nee, believed to have been one of the leading vessels In the rum smuggling fleet, operating in that section. The assistant secretary, who di rects the government's prohibition enforcement activities, announced today, however, that Captain John MacLeod, the Shawnee's com mander, has been indicted by a federal grand Jury on the charge of conspiracy of smuggling liquor Into the United States and, if he ever sets foot on American soil, will be arrested immediately. The Shawnee was surrounded by four coast guard patrol cutters during the raids Wednesday night, according to Lowman but escaped by speeding beyond the 12 mile limjt, the boundary which marks the high seas where American authorities have no Jurisdiction. The assistant, secretary character ized the successful flight of the Shawnee a "disappointment as she was the great prize" in the raids.

Oct 18 (AP) Calling its chief witness in the attempt to obtain acquittal oi Al bert B. Fall on charges of bribery, the defense today elicited from Edward L. Doheny testimony that the $100,000 he advanced Fall in 1921 was not a bribe for the Elk Hills oil lease but a loan to an old friend with whom he had faced hardships in pioneer times.

Doheny told the story of sendH ing the money to Fall by his son on Nor. 30, 1921, saying It was a loan to an old friend in financial difficulties and had nothing to do with his company securing a lease to the Elk Hills Nsvsl reserve which the government alleges is the reason he gave Fall the money.
