PAGE TWO ACTRESSES TESTIFY IN DINES ASSAULT USE SELF DEFENSE 15 - GEMMED BF GHAUFFEUROF MISS .NORMAND Jury Is Composed of 10 Women and Two Men; Dines Is Not Appearing. LOS ANGELES, June 17. —A battery of sidelights on the New Year’s night party at which Courtland S. Dines, Denver oil operator, was shot and seriously wounded by Horace Greer, then chauffeur to Mabel Normand, film actress, was ready to be turned on before a jury of ten women and two men at to day's seesion of Greer's trial on a charge of attempting to murder Dines. Greer does not deny that he shot Dines but will seek acquittal on the ground of self defense, according to his counsel. So far no witness has taken the stand to deny that Greer shot in self defense, and even Dines himself has exhibited no eagerness to testify against the chauffeur. Owing to the failure of the Den ver man to appear for the trial, the testimony he gave at Greer’s pre liminary hearing will be read. This testimony consisted largely of assur ances that he did not remember anything about the shooting. Miss Normand and Edna Pur vlance, the two motion picture actresses who were in Dines apart ment when he was shot, testified at yesterday's session. Both remem bered the party and the confusion which arose after Dines gasped: "lin pluged.’’ but neither shed light on the actual shooting. DOS ANGELES. June 17.—Testi mony of Courtland 8.
