It U vagrancy for ft theater manager
to measure ft lady's thighs before
putting her In his beauty chorus.
The Jurors reported after little
more than three hours of delibera
tions that there was no chance of
reaching an agreement and they
were excused. The oase was ordered
back for re-settlng on May 18, when
a new trial will be scheduled or the
charges dismissed.
Boris Posner, the defendant, twid
dled his thumbs nervously as the
Jury departed at- the close of final
arguments In which he was con
trasted as a "small motion picture
operator who wanted to be & big-
shot," 'and as a gentleman of flaw
less character and Impeccable con
duct.
Beauties Testify
The conflicting views were taken
by Deputy City Prosecutor Everett
Leigh ton and Defense Attorney Jerry
Mayo, who had each Introduced a
bevy of beauties to testify against
and for the 36-year old defendant.
Leigh ton accused him of being
over-familiar with the girls who
wanted to enter one of his beauty
contests a year ago.
'What business has this man, or
any other man got to measure the
bodies of young girls? he demanded,
How far. I ask you, can a man go
with girls without commission of i
crime?"
The defendant here." said Attor
ney Mayo, "has always had a good
reputation. We have Introduced more
than two score, of witnesses, all of
whom without exception have em
phaslzed that he Is a man of good
character.
"There, was absolutely no reason
why he should have tried to. molest
any of the girls. Why, Mr. Posner
here has been staging these beauty
contests for many years and he has
directed perhaps as high as 500 girls
giving them invaluable Instruction
In the Art of dancing and parading
with music."
