A IL possible encouragement should be given to the
u Wilmington Community Service in obtaining the
funds needed to supply indoor ceners at those
Fairgrounds which have attached TO them unused city
owned buildings, which, at comparatively small cost can
be converted into such indoor for in cold and
incement weather
As the situation stands the buildings are perform
ing no useful service Of general neghborhood nature
II the plans OF the Community Service be carried out,
they win become structures which will bring health and
happiness to thousands OF people particularly to
boys and girls who live in congested districts
II seems TO us that the neghborhoods which will be
benefited directly and intimately by the building alter
atons proposed should be among the first to evince an
active and practical interest in the project and that
from those neighborhoods that interest should radate
into all sections Of city until the end sought has
been attained.

TEST|F|ES SHE
HEARD SCREAMS
Maid Tells Court She
Could Hear Woman
in Arbuckle's Room.
Prosecution Expects to
urn Case Over to De-
fense Soon.

San Francisco, Nov. 22-The de-
tails of the fatal visit in September,
Of Miss Virginia Rappe, motion picture
actress to San Francisco from Los An
geles, were related Tuesday by Al
Semnacher, manager for Miss Rappe,
in the manslaughter trial Of Roscoe G.
(Fatty) Arbuckle He testified to the
finding of Miss Rappe in Arbuckle's
room apparently in a dying condition
after she had been alone for time
with Arbuekle
He met Arbuckle the next day, he
said, and ''he said he believed Miss
Rappe was intoxicated Semnacher
refused to repeat word he said was
used by Arbuckle in relation to the
attempts by guests of the party to re-
ieve Miss Rappe. He wrote the word
out for the stenographer.
Tore Clothing Before.
Miss Rappe had torn off her cloth
ing On various occasions after drink
ing liquor, he testified, but the manner
in which she tore them on such occa-
sions was different from the manner
she used after supposedly having been
injured at the party.
MISS AHct DIXIE, SHOW girl, WIS the
first witness called to the stand A
statement made by her to the police
was introduced. 1t described the party
in Arbuckle's room in the hotel st.
Francis.
The statement said that Miss Blake
first saw Miss Rappe nude on bed
in Arbuckie's room and suffering great
pain and that Miss Blake and other
guests assisted Miss Rappe.
Another statement given by Miss
Blake to the district attorney was
ruled out on the ground that the de-
tense had been given no opportunity
to examine it.
Was in Good Health.
The next witness was Joseph
Rideaux, physical culture trainer of
Los Angeles, who treated Miss Rappe
for being overweighted.
He went through the exercises out
lined for Miss Rappe.
Rideaux said he tested Miss Rappe's
strength. She appeared healthy. he
said and was stronger than most WON
en- he had instructed.
Harry J. Boyle, assistant manager
of the Hotel st. Francis, was the next
witness. He testified to having been
called TO Arbuckle's rooms in the hotel
Immediately after Miss Rappe was
supposed to have received the injury
there, and of having questioned Ar
buckle.
Arbuckfe started to carry Miss
Rappe to another room on the same
Great Falls tribune., 1921-11-23

floor, but became exhausted and Boyle
assisted him, he testified.
Semnacher was instructed by the de-
fense to remain within the jurisdiction
of the court as it desires to use him
as a defense witness later. Sem
nacher was excused at 11:05 a. m.
The prosecution asked the court to
to direct that microscopic examina-
ton be made Of the bladder of Miss
Rappe. A rend in the bladder was al
legged to be the cause of death. The
request was allowed by the court.
Hotel Maid Called.
Josephine Kesea, a chambermaid at
the Hotel st. Francis, was the next
witness She said she heard from an
outside corridor wOman's voice
screaming mo, no." while the party
was in progress, and mans voice an
swering "shut up." A statement made
by the witness to the district attorney
was read into the record by the de-
fense.
The statement detailed the invitation
extended to Miss Rappe over the tele-
phone from Arbuckle's room to attend
the party. Fred Fishback, friend of
Arbuckle. did the telephoning, it said
Two bottles, apparently of liquor, were
produced later and when Miss Rappe
arrived Arbuckle tried to kiss her, ac-
cording to the statement.
Miss Kesea was still in the stand
at the noon recess.
The prosecution said it expected to
close it's case Tuesday.
