ARBUCKLE AND COUNSEL FACTOR ACU (Continued From First Page.) * ’ tions are being taken to prevent any demonstration. ¥ In the poison case the police have “been given a good description of the “stranger” both by Miss Morgan and her friend, Miss Pearl Leushy, a/ movie actress. A systemati¢ search » being made. The District Attor- ney has offered the aid of his entire staff in finding the poisoner. Gavin McNab will resume his argu- ment for the defense to-day. He was in theynidst of it at adjournment yes- terday. It is expected to be the de- fense'’s only address. Assistant District Attorney Ftie4- man summed up for the State yester- day, but did not seem to interest the comedian. He watched the jury. They did not seem to react in appreciab:e extent to the argument. “We are not trying Roscoe Ar- buckle, the hero of a thousand laughs, ladies and gentlemen of ths jury,” said Friedman, “but we are trying Roscoe Arbuckle, the man, the ealloused man who could stand in the face of suffering and smile; who could see a woman writhing in agony, screaming in pain, and laugh: who ,eould think only of getting this pour dying woman out of his rooms xo there might be no troubie, and who could not think of getting ber med.< cal aid. » “You have heard Roscoe Arbuskie’s testimony on the stand, and you and 1 know it was false and well tabri- 4 cated to meet the fact# brought out Eby the people—facts he could not F deny.” | He reviewed the testimony of varl+ {ous witnesses, laying stress of that Vot Fred Fishback. 4 “Pishback cold how he carried the ‘girl into the co1a bath by one arm Sand one leg,” he sad. He wid it in sop attempt to explain away the bruises made on Miss Rappe's body. ‘But when I asked him which arm and which ‘leg ne became Sustered ‘and lost his compass and mentioned {the wrong arm and the wrong leg.

It seems to me that the high-handed nd frenzied financial manipulation of the Interborough di- rectors hus tended to delay and post- pone the day when the city would realize some retura on its subway properties. Comptroller Craig said: “The direc- tors of the Interborough should be treated according to law. There should he no distinction or discrimination made in their favor. The District At- torney should examine the facts, and cs A er ee > her " i, is if a ofime has been committed, those| - responsible should be prosecuted. ‘Furthermore, if the investors who have been victims of the direétors’ market manipulations are alert to their own interests they will see that their losses are made good to them by the directors whose illegal actions were responsible for the losses. Corporation Counsel O’Brien hadn't) heard from Mayur Hylan when asked what action his office proposed tal- ing. . “The entire traction matter is be- ing carefully gone over,” said Mr. O'Brien, “but at this time I am not prepared to state just what action the city proposes taking.

This statement, which was errone- ous, did not*appear in ‘The’ Evening World, but in justice to interested persons, The, Evening World quotes Prank Hedley of the In rborough, “What was said in court,” said Mr." Hedley to-day, maining $2,000,000 of the original $38, 000,000 were being deposited far ex ension at the rate of ovo a day. Not a single note has been paid and the company bas no funds to pay any of these notes. They must be extended if the noteholders desire to avold a receivership of tie company in the near future.” The Transit Commission . prepared to-day for its investigation of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, which it will take up on resuming its sessions next Tuesday. Meantime the members will seek some other means of getting information relative to Interborough dividends, the six directors called yosterday having re- fused to waive Immunity.
