|GRAVER CHARGE
| TO BE PRESSED
Accusation of Manslaugh-
ter Against Arbuckle
a Formality
CANNOT GET BAIL
IN MURDER CASE
Arrangement To Be Held
In San Francisco
To-day

San Francisco, Sept. l7.-Roscoe Ar
buckle was cast o-day for new court
scene in the tragedy of Virginia Rape,
motion picture actress, who died, ae-
cording TO accusers of Arbuckle, fol-
lowing a drinking orgy in the actors
apartments in a San Francisco hotel
and as result of mIstreatment by
her host.
To-day Arbuckie was to be arraigned
in superior court upon an Indictment
charging manslaughter, returned by
the county grand jury. But this ar
raignment is mere formality, it was
said, and District Attorney Matthew
Brady was scheduled to ask continu-
ance of the manslaughter case until
action has been taken on the charges
of first degree murder pending against
Arbuekle.
The district attorney has announced
the murder charge will be pushed and
it will be for jury to decide whether
Arbuckle shall be convicted Of first de-
gree murder, second degree murder,
manslanghter or freed by acquittaL
There was one other alternative which
was that if the police court at the
preliminary examination Of Arbuckle
failed to hold the comedian TO answer
to the superior court on the charge of
murder, the state then would be forced
to 90 TO trial with the manslaughter
Indictment. Acquittal on conviction on
the murder charge would mean auto
matte dismissal of the manslaugh-er
charge, for the law holds man may
not be twice placed in jeopardy for
one cause.
Crowds long before court opened to-
day attempted again to gain places OF
vantage about the court room OF SUI
perior Judge Harold Louiderback,
where Arbuckle was TO be arraigned.
Arbuekle in all his court appearances
since his arrest has shown disinclina-
tion TO face these curious folk.
Scores of letters and kilograms con-
time to arrive at the Jail for Arbuckle
and in such number he cannot answer
them, 1t was said.
Pressing of the murder charge means
Arbuckle must remain in jail for some
time TO some Dismissal of the muir
der charge and trial of the mansiaugh-
ter indictment would have meant quick
liberty on bail for the accused actor.
Bail on the manslaughter charge
had been fixed at $4,000 and attor-
news for Arbuckle had put mp the cash
in anticipation of action by the dis
trict attorney fayoring trial on the
lesser charge.
Arbuckle. had hoped to be free on
bail to-day to start for his home IN
Los Angeles.

tilted. Mr. Landin was born in Swe-
