Miss Castle will Introduce the very
latest dance steps in a five weeks en-

Just as she introduced the Castle

on her left ankle a bracelet studded
with diamonds under pair Of dark
blue sheer stockings. The anklet

about on the shiny floor Of the Knick-

Miss Castle has come back to dance
before the public because she loves

Castle said:

saturday night, September 10, and
were met by detectives, who took
Arbuckle to the Hall Of Justice i'm
mediately.
Two hours later Arbuckle was in a
cell charged with murder.
The case came before the grand
jury, and that body refused to indict
Tor murder, but returned an indict-
ment for granddaughter.
District Attorney Matthew Brady,
backed by Chief Of Detectives Duncan
Matheson, declared the charge should
be murder. Bambina Maude belmont
swore to murder complaint in police
court, and District Attorney Brady
elected to proceed under that charge.
The case was heard by Judge Syl-
vain Lazarus. District Attorney Brady
presented a dozen witnesses, includ-
ing ley Pyyron and Alice Blake, show
girls, who attended the party and who
testified that Arbuckle had been in
room 1919 alone with Miss Rape.
They told Of finding her apparently
In great pain and repeated her state
ment: HE hurt me. l am dying!'
Medical testimony was introduced
to show that death was due to a rup-
tured bladder, probably superinduced
by violence.
And finally a chambermaid of the
hotel testified that she had heard a
womari.s voice in 1919 cry: mo! No!
Oh, my God"'
With this dramatic testimony the
District Attorney closed his case with
out calling the prosecuting witness,

Judge Lazarus held Arhuckle to
answer on charge of manslaughter.
It was on this holding that the film
comedian will go on trial today.
Failure Of Frank Dominguez, then
chief counsel, to force Mrs. belmont
to the stand cost him his position.
McNab Takes Case.
Two weeks later, at the urging OF
big film interests. Gavin McNab, lead
ing Pacific Coast barrister, assumed
charge OF Arbuckle's defense. Nc

and Milton Cohen, Arbuskle,s per-
sonal counsel.
With the advent OF McNab in the
case the defense took on a different
aspect.
I'VE must bring out the truth.
The truth will clear my client"
This was McNab's initial statement.
To this he added that the defense
would take advantage Of no technt.
'calities, but welcomed an early trial
that Arbuckle might be cleared.
The nature Of the defense planned
came to light when permi4sion was
asked to take dispositions Of witnesses
outside the State.
II was revealed that the defense
planned to show that Miss Rape had
suffered from bladder trouble since
she was fourteen years OF age and
that on q previous occasion. when in
great pair from the disease, she had
torn off her clothing. 1t thus became
evident that the defense expected TO
show the jury that the girl died from
natural causes. This testimony from a
Chicago nurse, Virginia Warren. and
Mrs. Josephine Ross incidentally ree-
vealed that Miss Rape had been in. a
delicate condition at the age OF four
teen.
Attack Arbuckle Character.
McNab had announced that the
character Of Miss Rape would not be
attacked, but upon hearing Of the in
tention Of the defense to introduce
this line of testimony District Attor-
ney Brady intimated that he would
launch a counter attack against the
character of Arbuckle.
There is every indication that II
will be a cleverly-fought legal battle.
Some testimony will be omitted by
both sides because OF the issues 1t
would open up. The State Is not ex-
pected to place Bambina Maude Del
mont on the stand, because the de-
Tense would be in position to savage
ly attack her testimony. On the other
hand, the defense is expected to go
lightly on sAch matters as the char
acteer of the dead girl because of the
reprisals that would follow from the
State.
Arbuckle is not expected to take
the stand. He has spoken to no one
except his attorneys of the events OF
the afternoon Of Labor Day. Silence
was enioined on him and all of his
friends the night of his arrest. 1t has
been unbrokecn since. His attorneys
have talked but little.
The State hopes the comedian will
take the stand.
but two people know what hap

Brady declared. "One Of them is dead.
We hope Roscoe Arbuckle. who alone

the truth.
The charge against Arbuckle was
the means OF effecting recon-
ciliation between Arbuckle and his
wife. They had been separated for
five years. but Immediately upon hear

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Mrs. Mar

day when witnesses failed to justify

declared they intended to fight for
the right to hold meetings to discuss
birth control. Mrs. Sanger said she
considered her arrest a violation of
her rights as an American citizen.
Prominent society women were in
court when the two leading birth con-
troll advocates were arraigned.
No explanation was forthcoming
from police as to why they had inter.
fcred with the meeting, which ended
in a tumult when police jumped on
the platform and prevented Mrs. San.
ger from addressing an audience of
more than 1000 persons.
Shouts from the crowd urged Mrs.
Sanger to speak in defiance of police,
but reserves were called, and both
Mrs. Sanger and Miss Winsor, the lat.
tel one of the most active in urging
defiance Of the police, were arrested.
A large crowd Jeered and hooted as
the women were taken to the police
station.
The meeting was to have been the
last of several held by the First Ameri
can Birth Control Conference, which
