Closing Arguments On
Both Sides of Rotten
ten Case Begins

San Francisco, Dec, 1-Systematic
police seardch was begun tonight for
the stranger alleged to be response
BILE for the poisoning of Mrs. Irene
Morgan, Los Angeles nurse, and de-
tense witness in the trial of Roscoe
Arbuckle. The district attorney an
nounced his entire force would aid
in the investigation.
Mrs. Morgan was found uncon-
scious in her hotel room this after
noon. She told of being accosted
last night and again today by man
she had seen during the Arbuckle
trial. She said the man had given
her candy twice, and that both times
eating this candy had been followed
by illness.
No connection between Mrs. Nor
gan's experience and the trial in
progress has been discovered, au-
thorities say,
This development and the begin
ming of the closing arguments of
both sides were outstanding features
today in the trial of Arbuckle.
Leo Friedman, an assistant dis
trict attorney, made the first expo
sition of the prosecutions contention
that it has presented an unbreakable
chain of evidence to link the come
dian with the death of Virginia
Rappe whom it charges Arbuckle in
jured in his room at the Hotel st.
Francis here. Gavin McNab began
what was expected to be the defense's
cnly address, but was interrupted
by adjournment of court for the day.
Arbuckle appeared Indifferent dur
ing Friedman's argument, spending
most of the time gazing around or
lingering shreds of paper.
The defense claimed it scored big
point today when the commission of
three physicians appointed jointly by
the court, defense and prosecution,
to examine the bladder of Miss
Rappe reported that they found
that she had suffered from chronic
of the organ.

Brooklyn officials doubted if she had

Wingate, to whose lot it fell to take
charge of her affairs, is wondering
if the claimants will finally be count

reach into the hundreds.
A few days after Mrs. Easton's
death in the chill solitude of the base
ment of her Brooklyn home was her
aided by newspapers, several rela-
tives were discovered here. Then
letters began to pour in from many
states, one of them anonymously
contributing a document purporting
to be a will leaving most of the es-
tate to Josephine johnson daughter

Today two new letters arrived to
further complicate the situation. One
of these from Jessie A. Owens, of
Sparr, Fla, who said she was a cous-
in of Mrs. Easton's husband, cast
doubts on the rights of Josephine
johnson, who has since been located
in Ohio.

Mrs. Easton left a will with her dur

 These figures show vividly the record of service on which the fifth roll call is based.
 Reflective of the determination of the Red Cross to continue it's service to dis abled veterans until all are restored to normal civilian life, and outstanding among the items of the domestic budget is the appropriation of s3,56s.25s faS Red Cross service in behalf Of the dis abled ex-service man and his family. 2
 Ten million dollars was spent by the American Red Cross last year to carry through it's work for the disabled veter. ans of the Word war. This was si,. 000,000 more than the annual member. ship dues received by the organization In the 1920 roll call.
