The 25-year-old playboy Is charged with inducing Pat to lead a life of prostitution and of attempting to do the same with hatcheck girl Marguerite Cordova.

When the slender, 21-year-old Pat testified Tuesday that she accepted S6O tor going to a man’s hotel room, she broke down and burst into tears. Court then was recessed until today. The most prominent names mentioned in court were those of actors Mickey Rooney and John Carradine.
