Many thought the State might call her as a surprise witness, while there was much speculation as to why the defense had not summoned her, since she appeared to bave been friendly with Arbuckle. Her identity 1s something of a mys- tery. Her picture was published in a San Francisco newspaper, showing her leaning from a window with Ar- buckle at her side, both appgrently happy. This picture was taken the day before the party. Arbuckle evi- dently regarded her as his friend, yet she had not come forward to help him. Arbuckle came into court to-day red-faced and cheery after his ordeal on the witness stand. and Arbuckle to-day seemed confident the State could not break down the wall of evidence he had bullt between himself and the penitentiary. ARBUCKLE MAKES GOOD WIT- NESS FOR HIMSELF. ‘The cross-examination of Arbuckle was remarkable for the fact that the defense did not make a single objec- tion to the questions of the prosecu- tion. Through it all Arbuckle did not vary from the statements made on direct examination, and so far asthe court room crowd and newspaper writers could judge, the cross-exam- ination was valueless to the prosecu- tion. Arbuckle made a good witness for himself. He spoke in a Clear voice and had good self-control. He was not shaken in his main story by cross-examination, He obviously re- alized the seriousness of his predica- ment and only once did his dignity depart. That was when he told how, when he was asked by Mra, May Taube when she called to go riding: “Who are these people?” he replied: The defence | hrs, | closed its case after derk last night, TESTIMONY STARTS r of the hotel: ‘he girl is sick and Frvant to get her another room.

Nobody had suggested getting a doctor until Boyle arrived, Arbuckle asserted. The witness said that while he was there all of Miss Rappe's clothes were taken off and Mrs. Del- mont put an ice pack under her head. “There wan ice on the bed too,” he said. “I took up a piece of the ice from Miss Rappe's ly and Mrs, Delmont told me to put it back. “I told her to shut uP. or I would throw her out of the window, Then I put the piece of ice back where |] found it." Arbuckle said while ter! guests were tryl to relieve Miss Rappe, he told mont to “go and dress,” as she was attired in pajamas. “Miss Rappe was unconscious at ed ed ice was being applied,” he said, Frank Dominguez, Los Angeles lawyer, was the first person he told about having found Miss Rappe in the bathroom, Arbuckle said. Dom- inguez was his former counsel, Intense bitterness because of all he has suffered by the charges against him was evident but restrained in Arbuckle’s testimony, escaping only now and then !n a snappish answer to some queation or to repetitions of tHE EVENING “WORLD, ‘rURsDAY, woveussa. oe FY SHOT FIRED {ARBUCKLE FINISHES HIS STORY: the same question by prosecuting counsel, “No, I never told Al Semnacher anything first,” was one of these, At another time he was asked with the solemnity of a serious question: “How long after Miss Blake came in did Miss Prevost arrive?” “I don't know, but I'll guess for you, twenty minutes,” he sald, his ‘ips Dressed tight in exasperation. “Were whiskey, gin, orange juice and bottled water all that were on the tuble?” ee was asked, “T gu that was about all,” said Arbuckle. lifting his eyebrows like some one being patient with a child.

He is charged with brutally murdering Matilda Russo, seven years old, at Moorestown, N, J., on June 4, last.

Arbuckle admitted he said “Shut up or I will throw you out the window,” but said he made the remark to Mrs. Maude Delmont, who had ordered him from the room when he tried to stop Miss Rappe from tearing her clothing. ‘Ihe jury seemed to take an interest in his explanation, FOUND THE GIRL ILL IN HIS BATHROOM. His story represented himself as annoyed by the illness of Miss Rappe, the uncertain state of his guests and their conduct and the prospect of Mrs, Taube returning in the midst of that situation, He said he sought to obtain an- other room and attendance for Miss Rappe, and denied:that Miss Rappe bud said to him or of him in his hearing that he had hurt her. “Miss Rappe was dressed in a green skirt and jacket,” Arbuckle eoid, “I don't think her hair was down. I did not see her go into my room. “Il locked my door to keep the women and others out. Then I went into the bathroom, The bathroom door struck against the prostrate form of Miss Rappe.
