The demand, which was an entiro surprise, threw the court tmto an- cher legal wrangle, with the lawyer: ell talking at o1 and Arbuck'> listening interestedly. Miss Brennan‘s testimony consti- tuted the main attack by the defense on the State's fingerprint evidence. She testified she had cleaned thor- oughly the doors of Arbuckle’s apart- ment in the St. Francis Hotel after the Labor Day party and that she could not have left finger prints of Arbuckle and Miss Rauppe om the doors, or hair pins and half doren hairs on the floor. The prosecution rested its ease yes- terday but reserved the right to ex- amine witnesses in impeachment of testimony by Zey Provost, show girl.
