most of the time gazing around and
tearing shreds of papers.
Friedman told the jury that even if
Arbuckle told the truth on the stand
it would be strong enough to convict
him for he admitted he left Miss
Rape after her injury without call
ing doctor or telling any one of her
condition.
"Why has not the prosecution pre-
sented Bambina Maude belmont, the
complaining witness in this case?'
McNab asked. He praised Mrs. Nor
