Ellen Allbritton, who admit-

required in-patient treatment.
“When I walked in the room
and saw her, I pretty much knew
this was someone who needed
to be in the hospital,” Allbritton
said as a third week of testimo-

Enron still seeking auditor, rejected by big five
HOUSTON (AP) — At least one of the
Big Five auditing firms other than Arthur
Andersen has no interest in adding Enron
Corp, to its client list, and others won't say if
they’ve been approached to review the bank-
rupt eneigy giant's finances.
We’re not going to be Enron’s auditor,” said
David Nestor, spokesman for
PricewaterhouseCoopers, the largest of the
Big Five. “I don't know if we’ve been
approached.”
Spokesmen for KPMG and Ernst & Young
declined comment Monday on whether
Enron had tried to hire them, and a spokes-
woman for Deloitte & Touche couldn’t say
one way or the other.
