The district attorney in a long statement last night said that Judge Lazarus had accorded Arbuckle's case usual treatment and charged that %1 Roscoe Arbuckle were unknown #nd unimportant he would have been 1d for murder and treated precise- W the same as were other defendants disrepute.” Brady's statement quoted Judge zarus as having said in court: ; “The district attorney has attempt- to give us the impression that the 0of required in this present case arranting a holding should not go y further than would be required necessary in any other case. But ‘lhe city prison, where he has been for loon-like cloud of flashlight smoke rose toward the ceiling he gazed at it with almost a grin. “Roll a cigarette with one hand when we take the next snap,” suggested one of the photographers. “I can't,” he replied. “It's the other Arbuckle that does that.” Rush to Shake Actor's Hand. As court adjourned. a dozen women rushed forward to shake Arbuckle's hand. As he went into the julge’s chambers his wife, Mrs. Minta Durfee Arbuckle, collapsed, and he held herl up and quieted her in an affectionate manner. Her mother, Mrs. Flora Durfee, meanwhile smoothed the hair back from the comedian's fore- head. . The well known Arbuckle smile did not appear. however, and he merely said ,“Thank you,” in response to the | handshakes and greetings of “Con- gratulations, Roscoe,” from various people. A tant District Attorney Milton T U'Ren and Isadore Golden asked Judge Lazarus if he placed no credence of Miss Rappe's cries, “He hurt me” or the screams heard by the hotel maid, but the court said ‘hey “were not sufficlent to implicate Arbuckle in the commission of a Arime.” The district attorney’s aides also contended that the court could only cither hold the defendant to answer for murder or dismiss the care altogether, but Judge Lazarus said that was not his understanding of the law. When the hearing was resumed yesterday Judge Lazarus began a though it was a regrettable incident. time was taken up fruitlessly hearing him. Maid Most Important Witness. “The only one whose evidence might have connnected the defendant with the commission of a crime was that of the nervous chambermaid, who heard from the corridor the cry of a woman, ‘No, no, oh, my God,’ and a wan’s reply, ‘Oh. shut up!’ ~Although there were Indications that the district attorney at a trial would try to show a more complete case, there was the merest skeleton of evidence here to connect the de- fendant with the crime of murder, the most serious offense known in crim- inal law. “The question for me to decide, is whether the facts adduced, which the district attorney admits are barely enough to warrant a holding, are enough to justify a murder charge, and I do not believe so. “There is enough in the defendant’s actions in the affair, however, to war- rant a manslaughter charge, and 1 will hold him on this. I feel that no rape or attempted rape was committed by the defendant.” Assistant District Attorney. Milton T.

Arbuckle’s Smile Returns. While the formalities of bail were being arranged, Arbuckle went back to kN % fortunate; “The aftair was the culmination of an orgy &t one of our leading hostel- ries. An orgy unrepressed by the management is, 1 take it, a common thing in our big cities. “I had really hoped that this court would be the avenue for full and com plete revelation of all the facts, so the public of the entire world would have the opportunity o ascertain this wide- Iy known defendant's guilt or inno- cence. “The testimony heard shows that during the whole afternoon there went on, let us charitably say, festivities. Men and women were coming and go- ing, so that witnesses are unable to say who were the occupants at any particular hour. Much liquor was drunk, and the ccmplaining witness, in particular, was in an inebriated condition. Judge Reviews Revel. “Miss Rappe, according to the pic- ture I have tried to draw of the event, went into room 1219 of this hotel, fol- lowed, without previous conversation, by the defendant. 5 “They remained in there about three- quarters of an hour, according to Miss Zeh Prevost's testimony. No sounds were heard by the rest of the party. “Then the complaining witness and Miss Prevost made clamor at the door, which was opened by the defendant, and these two ladies entered the room. “They found Miss Rappe lying on a bed. fully clothed and apparently in agony. She was clutching at her clothing, and, with the assistance of her woman companions, she was com- pletely disrobed. I thought some of the torn garments might bear on the point at issue, but from the prosecu- tion's own witnesses it appears they must have been torn in being re- that the evidence showed one of the garments must have been torn off.

Your general attitude is one of optimism Grant. Terrell gave him the missive. It was written on one sheet of ruled let- ter paper, and enclosed in an envelope, which had come through the mail. Grant tried to decipher the chiro- graphic conglomeration of badly spelled words connected:by deficient grammatical construction and pun tuation. The grand goblin. gracus rose from his seat, draped his right arm over Grant's shoulder and read over the latter's left shoulder as fol- lows: Text of Letter. “Dear Sir: In reading the paper about your Klan you had better watch out for yourself for you know that your life is not worth 2 cents of course it is enough Negroes and Jew to fight to a finish and also Catholics 30 you start in when you are ready.

So dont worry we will see you soon and will let you know as this is gonto to a fight to a finish believe me.” The letter was not signed. Grant read it over and turned again to the grand goblin, who throughout the reading had been smiling widely at the threat. “I carry a .32 revolver on my person and am well protected. But if I were in your place I certainly would have tears of my safety,” said Grant. Willing to Take Risk. “I have no fears of my safety. T am willing to take the risk,” Terrell did look willing.
