LEGAL BATTLE IN THE
CRONE PANDERING
CASE
Intense interest was evoked in the trial of L. W. Crone, charged with "pandering," in District Judge Arthur E. Pratt's court today, by the testimony of the witnesses and by a fierce clash between District Attorney Stuart P. Dobbs and the defendant's attorney, George Halverson. This is the case in which Stella Ramsome, a young girl, is chief witness against Crone, who formerly was foreman at the American Can company.
Mr. Halverson charged Mr. Dobbs with attempting to introduce an element in the testimony, having no bearing upon the trial, for the purpose of influencing the jury and obtaining a conviction "by hook or crook."
Mr. Dobbs challenged the statement and they fought, legal style, to a finish. The court finally ruled in favor of Mr. Halverson, though the lawyers had thus presented "both sides" to the jury and the result was what the boys call a "dog-fall."
Crone testified in his own behalf this afternoon. He denied everything charged by the girl and the other witnesses. He said he had a wife and child at New Orleans. He admitted that the Basque sheepherders, who figured in the case, were his friends and associates.
