FATTY" LOOSINC
SCARED FEELING
But Alleged Murderer-Come-
dian Loses Eleven
Pounds.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. is.
Fatty" Arbuckle spent the Sab
bath answering letters of sympa-
thy. reading the newspapers, and
chatting with attaches of tho
prison.
The corpulent comedian. who Is
charged with the murder of Miss
Virginia Rappe, movie actress, is
fast losing his scared TO death
look, and today. for the first time
there seemed to be some snap in
his movements. Policemen and
as much the usual thing in his life
and custard pies.
Has Lost Eleven Pounds.
He is also losing weight, having
dropped from 266 pounds to 255
since his arrest. This worries
Fatty" who does not yet believe
he is 'throUAh" with the motion
picture game.
Fatty" awoke late today after
a rather heavy sleep. He asked
that his barber be sent in, and.
after shave, sat his portly self
down to a hearty breakfast. Then
he called for some writing paper
and put himself to the task of an
swerinE huge pile of mail.
"Fatty's" replies were brief. con-
siS.ing of perfunctory thanks.
He next asked for the Sunday
pSpers. This was another sign that
Fatty" was returning to normally,
as he had persistently refused to
read papers since a hasty glance
at the first extras" issued. which
he maintained did not give him a
square deal.
Preliminary Hearing Thursdsy.
He ate no lunch and spent the aft
ernoor sitting on the edge of his
cot. rolling and smoking cigarettes.
He smilingly declined to talk to
reporters.
On Thursday he will be taken be-
fore Police Judge Lazarus for his
preliminary examination on the
charge of first degree murder, His
attorneys are working hard on his
defense, which they insist will show
that the Falstai Of the movies"
did not kill the beautiful young
actress, his guest at the last of his
notorious gin" publications."
Tho district attorney is seeking
new witnesses. He is said TO have
nine persons under surveillance,
most Of them show girls who at
tended the Arbuckle party"

ATLANTIC CITY. n. J.. Sept. Is.
The latest estimate of absolutely
dry members of Congress was made
today by Gov. Edward ]. Edwards,

TWO ESCAPE FROM PRISON

Availing themselves of the absence
of Sheriff William L. McIlvaine, Sat
urday, William White, of Seaford
charged with larceny of chickens, and
Dorsey Johnson, of Milford, held for
wife beating, who have been confined
in the Sussex county Jail for some
time, sawed the iron bars to one of
the upper cells and made their escape
by walking around the Jail wall until
the women's cell was reached where
they climbed over and went down a
flight of steps.
Leon J. Yerrick, known as Capt.
Williams, who is awaiting trial for
numerous forgeries in lower Delaware
and New Jersey, and who a few weeks
ago created a sensation at RehObOth
Beach by extOrting sums from some of
the residents of theN resort on the
promise that he was fitting out a cost
ly ship to make a cruise around the
world, and would take them for a
small sum, made an attempt to follow
White and Johnson in their dash for
liberty, but his plan was frustrated by
several persons who happened to see
him. Yerrick when asked about his
attempt to escape, claimed he was at
tempting to stop White and Johnson.
Pedestrians, who happened to be
passing the institution at the time the
two men scaled the wall gave the
alarm, but by the time the officers
were found the fugitives had fled in
the direction of a large woods south
of Georgetown.

sTABBING RESULTS IN DEATH

Dallas Purnell, colored, who was
stabbed Sunday night at Wyoming by
Roy Fisher, also colOred, the latter
claiming self-defense, died late Mon
day afternoon. That the wound was
very deep was evidenced by the fact
that Purnells windpipe was partly
severed. Fisher claims that Purnell
was drunk and disorderly at the time
of the assault but he will be held on
a murder charge.
Fisher, who is 20 years of age, was
arrested by State Detective D. D.
Wharton, charged with murderous as
sault. Purnell, according to the at
tending physician and others who Wis
tied the scene shortly after the stab
bing, lost more than a quart of blood.
Fisher, on being arrested, admitted
the stabbing, claiming that Purnell,
who had been drinking, made a
break for him and in defense, he
pointed the knife at Purnell, who
rushed against it. Fisher says that
Purnell had been creating a disturb
ance among other cOlOred men in the
vicinity. It is supposed a crap game
had been in progress just prior to the
stabbing.
