Sheppard of Florida, sitting in federal district court, today told the federal grand jury it had the power and authority to Investigate secret organizations which ‘“are reported to be Interfering with the constitution- all rights of citizens. “Anmy organization’ he said, “which holds its meetings by the light of Dbonfires in secret places and the mem- bers of which wear white suits and| masks, which attempts to prevent or- derly citizens from the enjoyment of their constitutional rights, freedom of speech, conscience and right of trial by jury is a proper subject for inves- tigation by a grand jury. That is be- cause such behavior on the part of a secret society is a conspiracy and the law can be brought to bear upon them.” Continuing his chagge, Judge Shep- pard said in part: H “There is a law here that can bel brought to bear upon any group of people or secret organization which administers justice in the woods. “It is not within the province of| secret societles to say who is or is not| a destrable citizen. When they, by a| demonstration of power, seek to pre-' vent others from the enjoyment of thelr constitutional rights, they are amenable to prosecution in federal courts through presentment or indict- ment by the grand jury.” | According to the newspapers, Judge! Sheppard said, “there is a certain or- ganization now in existance, the mem- bers of which are undertaking to cen- sor the conduct of their fellow cit zens.” “When you get to that state ofl affairs, one may well ask what differ-| ence there is between the United States| and Bolshevism in Russia.” he added.

The grand jury adjourned without returning an_indictment but another session will be held as soon as dis- trict attorney Matthew Brady is rea- to present further testimony, the foreman announced. Added interest was given the cast today when the district attorney de- clared he would start an investigation to ascertain whether witnesses, who were present at the party last week, have been tampered with. The offi- cial statement followed the appear- ance of Miss Vey Provost, also known s Miss Pyvron, before the grand jury. According to Mr. Brady her testimony there was entirely different from that she previously gave him. Reports that another witness,”Alice Blake, had disappeared, proved erron- cous when she appeared at the dis trict attorney’s office. Miss Blake ex plained, acording to Brady, that she had gone from her home in Berkeley to a friend’s home in Oakland in order to avoid publici Among witnesses jury, the second day's proceedings of the coroner’s inquest were Mrs. Bambin Maud Delmont, Al Seminacher, Mis Rappe's manager, Vey Provost and Al- ke, all of whom are sid to have resent at the Arbuckle party . Jean Jameson, a nurse who d Miss Rappe before her death. Delmont, at the inquest, she, Miss Rappe and Al Seminacherfi drove to San Francisco from Los An- arriving Sunday night Septem- ber 4. While she and Miss Rappe were eat- ing breakfast the next day, a telephone call was received that a Mr. Arbuckle wanted to see them all at the St. Hotel. Miss Rappe went to <le’s room alone and then tele- d for Mrs. Delmont and Semi- to join her. There, she testi- he met Arbuckle, Lowell Sher- Ira C. Fortlouis and Frederick shback. There were many bottles on the table in the room. Miss Rappe had three drinks of zin and orange juice and Mrs. Delmont about ten drinks of . Two more girls came in whom ned later were Alice and Vey whiske; The Rappe girl rose and went into the bathroom off Arbuckle’s room. When she came out of the bathroom Arbuckle was in his room. He closel the door between it and the sitting room where the other members of the party were. She heard screams coming from the room about an hour later, she said, and demanded that Arbuckle open the door. He did so. The Rappe girl-was | on the bed tearing at her clothing and eaming.

Mrs. Delmont told of having brought quor up from Los Angeles in the auto- obile which her party drove here. She d however, that Miss Rappe did not ch this liquor. During Miss Rappe's iliness, she tried to induce Arbuckle to visit the girl but he refused to do so, she said. Arbuckle's mood threughont the day was one of indifference to every thing but the weaving out of the story of the tragedy at the inquest. He paid no at- tention to newspaper photozraphers snap- ping him from all sides and disdained the many questions that were asked him by interviewers. ARBUCKLE DENIES THAT HE HAD LIQUOR Franoisco, Sept 13.—Roscos Arbuckle was taken before Fed- Prohibition Direct E.
