The fate of the comedian, accused
or having caused the death of Vir-
ginla Rappe, motion picture actress,
was given to the jury shortly after 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Rum.
ors were current last night that the
jury composed of seven men and five
women stood II to l for acquittal, but
no verdict had been reached at II
O'Clock and the debating ceased.
The failure of the jury to reach it's
verdict last night did not appear to-
ease the visible apprehension tha:
the defendant Arbuckle held through
out the night. On the few occasions
that the bailiff was called into the
jury room his hands trembled as
though he expected some tremendous
decision. His counsel, however, ap.
peared to be without apprehension
while the district attorney and his as
sistants were also hopeful of ver-
dict in their favor. (
After announcing to the baliff that
1t could not reach decision tonight
the jury was taken back to it's hotel.
There was no indication OF how many
ballots were taken tonight.

McNab attacked what he termed
the imprisonment of two pnosecu-
tiOn witnesses, Miss Zeh Provost and
Miss Alice Blake, show girls, by the
district attorney ''in order to coerce
them into giving testimony beneficial
to the prosecutions cause"
U'Ren referred to Arbuckle as a
"Belshazzar sitting On his throne and
pouring wine," during the party in
the Hotel St. Francis. "Thank God,
he has been told, as Belshazzar was
told, that his kingdom is divided and
his reign is over" U'Ren said.

Asked at the cessation of final argu-
