SHERMAN SETS
 OFF 4 BOMB IN
 ARBUCKLE CASE

NEW YORK, Nov. H. Lowell Sherman, motion picture actor, in a sworn statement, denied that Roscoe Arbuckle was in the room alone at any time with Virginia Rappe, the film star, in connection with whose death Arbuckle is awaiting trial in San Francisco.
 Sherman also denied absolutely Arbuckle had ever told him that he, Arbuckle, had said in effect he had waited five years for Miss Rappe.
 Sherman, who arrived from Stam- ford, Conn.,, where he is engaged on "a picture for A. H. Woods, the pro- ducer, made his deposition before David s. Mayer, who received a commission to take the testimony from Judge Harold Louderbach, of the superior court of California. Dis trict Attorney Swann instructed his assistant, H. 5. Brothers, to repre- sent him. and Charles H. Fireman, an attorney of Los Angeles, represented Arbuckle Sherman gave his testi- mony in an open, straightforward manner, without any hesitancy.
 He told of the party at which Miss Rappe was fatally stricken and said that, while there had been general drinking, no member of the party was visibly intoxicated.
 He asserted that Miss Rappe had been drinking gin, and that she com plained of being i'll and was then carried into Arbuckle's bedroom. Sherman added that Arbuckle did not go into the room alone with her, but that there were others in there at the time, and the only purpose in going into the room, he said, was to give her an opportunity to lie down because of her illness. He said Miss Rappe began moaning and tearing at her clothing, and that Ar buckle then went out and summoned a physician.
 Regarding the ice bath that had figured largely in the testimony of earlier witnesses Sherman said that simply consisted of a cold plunge in a tub of iced water, and that Miss Rappe was put into that cold bath by several members of the party. Sherman said he had never met Miss Rappe before that day.
 When Sherman had finished giving his testimony to the questions, all of which had been prepared under Judge Louderbachs instructions, he hurried off in order to return to Stamford
