Liberace is suing the tabloid
Daily Mirror and its columnist
William Connor for libel on
grounds Connor's "Cassandra"
column implied Liberace is a
homosexual. The pianist has
formally denied this.
Liberace. dressed in a shiny
copper-bronze suit, watched quiet

while the veteran actess marched
into the witness box as a witness
against the Daily Mirror.
Liberace s attorney. Hclcnus
Milmo, asked her "did you in
those ; (Liberace) performances
see or hear anything that could
be described as dirty?"
Nothing at all, replied Miss
Court neidge.
Did you see or hear anything
that was suggestive?"
"No. nothing." said the actress.
The libel trial had been expect
ed to move today to a television
theater so the court could study
films of the 40-year-old pianist in
action. The presiding judge put
off that move and the gray
haired actress was called.
Gerald Gardiner, the Mirror's
attorney, suggested during Tues
days' hearing that the judge and
the jury of 10 men and two wo
men be shown some of Liberace s
filmed TV appearances.
