WINTER LUBRICATIoN

'Is your engine hard to crank

"If you have noticed these condi-

After the engine has been start

Special Dispatch to The tribune
pLAINFIELD, N. j., Sept. 1S.-After
an all night search by posse of 100
men, William Hoblitzell, for twenty
years state game warden in this dis
trict, was found dead early to-day
near patch of woods at Kenilworth,
j., with bullet wound in his heart.
Authorities believe the warden was
killed while attempting to enforce
hunting regulations. Prosecutor Het-
field, who has taken personal charge Of
the Investigation, is working on two
theories. The first is that Hoblitzell
was slain by a man or men whom he
attempted to arrest in the performance
of his duty. The second theory is that
he may have been shot out OF revenge
by some one whom he previously had
taken into custody for breaking the
game laws.
Last Seen at Kenilworfh
Hoblitzeil was last seen alive by q
resident of Kenilworth. He was sent
to the home OF John Lynch there yes
terday afternoon to talk with Lynch re-
garding flock of pheasants which were
destroying Lynch's crops.
Lynch has explained to the authori-
ties that while he was talking to Hob
litzell on the porch of his homo they
heard two gunshot reports. He said
they appeared to come from small
grove that grows to the south Of his
home.
According to Lynch the game warden
interrupted their conversation to look
into the shots. He said that after
Hoblitzell had been gone some time he
heard two more shots.
When the warden did not return at
nightfall Lynch notified the police OF
Kenilworth and search was begun.
Hoblitzell was to attend meeting in
Railway last night. When he failed to
appear an alarm was sounded and a
posse of $50 men Joined in the search.
Body Found in Bushes
The body was lying in bush. Be-
sides the bullet wound in the heart q
hole, believed to have been made by a
bullet, was found in the warden's hat
Examination is said to have shown
that the wound in the heart was made
BY .32-caliber bullet.
Hoblitzell always had been active in
running down offenders against the
game laws. Only recently four vio-

Fatal Party in
A1'buckle Suite
Entertainment Where Girl
Is Said to Have Suffered
Fatal Injuries Is Fully
Gone Over by Prosecutor
Leads to New Evidence
Doctor Who Attended Miss
Rappe Announces Return /;
Question More Witnesses


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1s.--Im-
portant evidence in the case of Roscoe
("Fatty") Arbuckle, charged with the
murder of Miss Virginia Rappe, motion
picture actress, was developed by Dis
trict Attorney Matthew Brady and his
aids to-day in the staging of dram
attic rehearsal Of the film comedians
wild" party in the suite occupied by
Arbuckle on the twelfth floor of the
st. Francis Hotel.
This, with the locating Of DR.. Arthur
Beardslee, house physician at the St
Francis, who was called in to treat
Miss Rape and who is regarded as
most important witness for the pro-
secution, and the examining of several
minor witnesses, were the days de-
velopments in the case.
Dr.. Beardslee was found at Bridge
fort, Mono County, where he has been
On hunting party with Judge Parker,
Of Mono County. His whereabouts was
revealed in a telegram to Thomas
Keating, assistant manager of the St.
Francis,
Physician Announces Return
The telegram was as follows:
Learned from papers here of out
come of Arbuckle party. Am leaving
for San Francisco to-day. Inform
press that this is my usual hunting
ground and come here every year
with Judge Parker.
"ARTHUR BEARDSLEE."
The re-enacting of the Arbuckle
party in the suite he formerly occu-
pied at the hotel was done with a
dramatic intensity, bordering. on the
real. Every article of furniture in the
linz ~
the position it occupied at the time of
the entertainment. Practically every
member present at the party was ques-
toned regarding the position of va
rious articles and with this aa basis
Brady staged once again the affair
that is believed to have resulted in
Miss Rappe's death.
Brady was accompanied by Assistant
District Attorney Milton U'Ren and
Isadore Golden. They were assisted by
Harry j. Boyle, assistant manager OF
the hotel.
Most attention was paid to room
1921, which formerly was occupied by
Arbuckle and in which room the alleged
attack took place. Here the beds were
arranged as Mrs. Bambina Maude Del
mont, Miss Alice Blake and Miss Zey
Provost, three women members of the
party, testified they were when they
entered the room in response to Miss
Rappe's cries.
No Indication of Struggle
District Attorney Brady and U'Ren
made a minute examination of all three
rooms. Although the suite was made
up by the maid after Arbuckle had de-
parted, it is to-day practically as ii
was during the party. Brady paid spe.
cial attention to marks on the wall and
small table standing between the two
beds, without finding any marks o.
other evidence of a struggle
The most important development was
the fact that when the door leading to
Room 1921 was closed a person speak
ing in IN ordinary tone of voice could
be heard IN the sitting room, where
the other members of the party were
New-York tribune., 1921-09-19

drinking while the attack charged was
Mr.. Golden went into Room 1921 and
closed the door. He then shouted to
Mr.. Brady, who was in Room 1920. 1t
WAS discovered that 1t was not neces-
sary to raise the voice very much to
penetrate into the next ROOM.
AS there are two doors leading into
Room 1921, both were closed and fur
that q voice penetrated both doors,
though not so easily as 1t did the
single door.
DR.. Beardslee, upon his arrival in San
Francisco tomorrow, will be asked to
meet District Attorney Brady imme-
diately. After ascertaining his knowl-
edge Of Miss Rappe's condition, Brady
will determine whether to take the
physician before the grand jury to-mor
row night. If DR.. Beardslee testities that
Miss Rappe was injured as has been
testified by members of the party, and
that he believes her injuries were the
result of an attack by Arbuckle, Mr..
Brady said he undoubtedly would take
him before the grand jury to get his
testimony on record.
Case May Hinge on Physician
The physician is regarded as one Of
the most important witnesses yet found.
1t is understood that he is in posi-
tion to build the prosecutions case or
blast it. He was the second physician
to be called in to attend Miss Rappe
and, it was learned to-day, passed al
most all Of Labor Day night at her
bedside. According to information so
far received by the District Attorney,
Dr. Beardslee diagnosed her case as
acute alcoholism and was not aware
of the rupture to the bladder.
1t is possible that several guests at
the ST. Francis hotel at the time of
the fatal party will be called as wit
nesses. Search is being made for a
man and his wife who occupied room
1228-next to that in which were the
film comedian and Miss Rappe. They
are sought in an effort to learn If they
heard the cries of Miss Rappe at the
time of the alleged attack. They are
out Of the city and if they can be found
Brady will ask them to make deposit
tions. If they heard cries, it is possi-
BILE they will be brought back to San
Francisco to testify. Several women
witnesses were examined to-day, but no
names were divulged. Brady said they
were unimportant and might not even
be called at the trial.
The grand jury will meet tomorrow
night, but outside of the DR.. Beardslee
angle and possible evidence of alleged
tampering with witnesses, no other fea-
ture of the Arbuckle affair will be
taken up. In view of the fact that Miss
Provost, who first refused to reveal
details of the party and sign her declar-
alton, later made statement revealing
