MISSING WOMAN
HOLDING KEYTO
FATTY'S LIBERTY
Defense Says Reputable Wit
ness Who Can Tell All Is
Dodging Subpoena.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S.-
That there is one persona woman
of wealth-who could tell exactly
how Virginia Rappe came to the
injuries which caused her death,
for whose alleged responsibility
Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle is now
being tried, is the startling theory
held by the defense, it became
known today.
Knows Whole Secret.
This woman. the defense believes. is
battling with her conscience, as she
moves continually about, evading sub
poena process, weighing the notoriety
she would be subjected to in testify
ing on the one hand and her sense of
duty on the other.
Even the defense does not claim to
know just what she would telf But
II claims that she holds the key that
would unlock the whole story of events
leading up to Virginia Rappe's death.
A silence unbroken for nea 'ly three
months is to end this afternoon.
Roscoe Fatty" Arbucltle, to date a
mute spectator to the tragic drama,
which involves his future freedom and
life work, is again to take the center
of the stage.
HIS trial for manslaughter is TO
reach its climax through his own tes.
timony as to what happened behind
the locked door of room 1919 in the
st. Francis Hotel at his gay Labor
Day party.
There is a remote possibility he may
not have an opportunity to testify. A
last minute change of mind on the
part of his chief counsel Gavin Nc.
Nab, may result in the case closing
without his name being called But
this is unlikely. '
THE motion picture interests who
are financing 'Fatty's' fight for liberty
desire not only an acquittal, but also
his rehabilitation in public favor a
close observer of the case said. They
expect Arbuckle to take the stand and
explain clearly just what happened IN
that room, no matter how unplea SAINT
a cross.examination he may face"
Arbuckle is anxious to go on the
stand, and a majority OF lhis attorneys
are favorable-but McNaL will say the
word. n
