CLAIM INTIMIDATION
OF JUROR SOUGHT
Aftermath of the Arbuckle Disagree
ment Results in Many Charges
Being Made.

San Francisco. - Collateral issues
were to the fore today in the affairs
of Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle, the jury
which tried him on a manslaughter
charge having disagreed and been dis
charged yesterday. Foremost of the
three groups of circumstances attract
ing public interest to the film comedian
was the charge made last night by Mrs.
Helen M. Hubbard, one of the jurors
who tried him on charges arising from
the death Of Virginia Rape, that at
tempts had been made at her intimida-
ton. Mrs. Hubbard told Milton U'Ren,
an assistant district attorney, and sew
eral other persons that a man repre-
senting himself as Gus Olivia, COM
mission merchant with whom her hus-
band had had business dealings, had
telephoned the husband Saturday night
with the intent of having her change
her vote as juror. She let it be known
that she had stood consistently for Ar
buckles conviction.
Mr.. Hubbard said it had been init
mated by the man that he might save
AAASAASSAA SAOoN1O Ny oCAA0lhS Ills WI16 u
note, asking that she vote for Ar
buckles acquittal. U'Ren announced
the whole matter would be laid before
the grand jury tonight.
The second focus of discussion was
a federal charge against Arbuckle
based on an allegation Of illegal trans
portation of liquor, drunk at the party
in the Hotel st. Francis at which it
was charged Miss Rape received fatal
injury at Arbuckle's hands. This was
set for hearing today.
The third item on the list was a
charge Of perjury against Mrs. Minnie
Neighbors of Los Angeles, a witness
called by the defense in Arbuckle's
manslaughter trial. This was also set
for hearing today.
In addition to all these, last nights
intimation by Milton Cohen, member
of Arbuckle's counsel, that the defense
had something up it's sleeve" and was
prepared to "let it come down" today,
came in for modicum of comment.

B. P. Herzog Found Guilty,
Will Carry Case to
Higher Courts.
FACES LONG SENTENCE
Maximum Penalty "a Years
and S49,5OO Fine - Keno
shans Soon to Be Tried.

Bert P. Herzog, former dry chief of
Wisconsin, who was found guilty on
all eight counts in an Indictment
charging the acceptance of $16,500 in
brides by jury in the federal dis
trict court in Milwaukee on Saturday
afternoon, still asserts his innocence
and maintains that he will carry his
defense to higher courts. The YER
dict of Guilty" was reached by the
jury after celebrating two hours and
fifty minutes and was returned just
after Eve o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The passing of sentence was de-
ferred until Tuesday by the court on
application of David S. Rose, attorney
for Herzog, to allow the filing of mo-
ton for a new trial which will be
heard on that date.
Herzog faces maximum penalty Of
twenty-four years in Leavenworth
penitentiary, and a fine of $4,000 I'M
der the federal law which, provides as
the maximum sentence for bribery on
each count three years in the peni-
tertiary and fine Of three times the
amount of the bride.
May Affect Kenoshans.
AS the word reached Kenosha Sat
urday evening that Herzog had been
found guilty, Kenoshans began to
speculate widely as to what influence
the conviction might have on the cas-
es which are still to be heard against
the Kenoshans, who are alleged to be
members of the Kenosha- Milwaukee
whisky ring. Among these are Attor-
ney Walter M. Burke, Louis Schrayer,
Edward Kosterman, now of Racine,
and Joseph Custer, whose testimony
went far to convict Herzog.
It was admitted that the conviction
was a heavy blow to the defendants
but there was no intimation that any
of them would seek to let up in their
defense against the charges made
against them.
To Obtain New Bond.
Herzog was Released Saturday night
upon new bond. Bail was set at
$4,000 by the court, the same amount
under which Herzog was held before
the return of the verdict. The jury
verdict automatically terminated the
surety bond under which the former
prohibition chief had been at liberty.
81 am innocent" Herzog declared
emphatically, after the proceedings
had been terminated. "This verdict
is q set back. of course, but | am
still confident that l will be able to
prove my innocence and remove all
stain from my name"
Claim More Evidence.
It is believed that the arguments for
new trial will be based principally
upon the claim of additional evidence
by the defense. 1t was contended by
defense attorneys that they did not
receive definite notice Of the date Of
the trial until very few days before
it was held and that they did not
have adequate time to prepare a de-
tense and assemble their case.
eve have lots Of new evidence al
ready" Herzog announced after the
return of the verdict, "and there was
important evidence which developed
Saturday AFTERNOON. All of this will
come out at the next trial and it will
be found that l am actually innocent
of all charges against me-"
Charges of vindictiveness and per-
sonal bias on the part of the United
States attorneys office were also made

Milwaukee District Attor-
ney May Head Prosecu-
ton of Fisher.
SOUGHT BY MORGAN
Attorney General Morgan Asks
District Attorney label to
Take Charge Of This Case.

The prescott on of former District
Attorney Peter Fisher, Jr., on charg-
es of malfeasance in office and Of
accepting brides began to take on a
new aspect on Saturday afternoon
when Attorney General William j.
Morgan requested District Attorney w.
D. label Of Milwaukee to act as pros
ecuting attorney for the state in the
case. The trial is now set for Deem
Der 18th but it is possible that de-
lays may be allowed in order to per-
NIT both sides to prepare more care
fully for the case In the event that
District Attorney label of Milwaukee
accepts the appointment, he will most
likely seek a postponement in order
that he can more fully acquaint him
self with the details of the case.
District Attorney label was expect
ed to confer with Judge Belden re-
garding the appointment but as yet no
announcement has been made as to
what was the outcome Of the confer
ence.
State to Be Active.
The fact that District Attorney
label has been requested to act in
the case is evidence that the state of
Wisconsin intends to take an active
part in the prosecution of this case.
1t is also intimated that similar ac-
ton may be taken regarding other
prominent cases brought on by the
grand jury investigation. In the
event that he refuses the appointment
it is altogether likely that some equal
ly prominent attorney from another
part of Wisconsin will be sought by
the state.
It is recalled that when Special
Prosecutor Mortimer Walker was
named to take part in the prosecution
of several grand jury cases, he was
listed for only part of the cases and
the ones concerning Peter Fisher, Jr.,
were among those omitted. Attorney
Walker is said to have been fav-
orable to the appointment of an out
side attorney to take charge of the
prosecution because of the fact that
he has long been acquainted with
former District Attorney Fisher.
County Officials to Aid.
Whether Attorney label or any 9TH
er attorney is named to represent the
state in the prosecution or not, the
Kenosha prosecutors will assist in ev-
cry way possible in the prosecution
under the direction of the state repre-
sentative. The expense of the state
official will, however, be borne by the
state Of Wisconsin rasAer than by Ke-
nosha county.
Attorney label is undecided as to
what action he shall take because the
trial of Joseph Branske on charges Of
murder will be in progress in the mu-
nicipal court in Milwaukee at the time
set for the Fisher trial here. The
Milwaukeean declared that he would
ask Judge Belden to continue the
Fisher trial for several days, in which
event it would be possible for him to
accept the appointmnt made by Attor-
ney- General Morgan.

SAILORS LIFE
Is CAREFREE
Until He Comes to KenOsha
and is Pitched Upon
by Rough Bunch.
FIVE MEN ARRESTED

Because he wears the pea-coat of
Uncle Sans na-vee, and bronzed face
and an open sunny smile, and an un-
fortunate open purse as we'll, is no
reason why he should be jumped upon
by bunch of roughnecks and fieeced
and kicked into the bargain.
This is what Captain Emil Clausen
agreed on Saturday night at ten o'clock
when Domenico Ferraro, sailor at the
Great Lakes hospital, appeared at the
police station and told story of as
sault and robbery which he said took
place in a saloon at 33 North Main
street. Ferraro declared that he was
in the saloon at $40 in the evening
when a bunch of men jumped on him,
and two of them showed him into the
lavatory and locked the door. He said
that after bit the door was opened
and he was released, when he found
that eight dollars Of his money was
missing.
Find Story True to Fact.
Earl Randall, also from Great Lakes,
accompanied Ferraro and vouched for
part of the story. He said he was OUT
side of the saloon when Ferraro went
in, and then heard such tumult inside
which warned him that there was
trouble. Randall said that he didn't
go in, but waited until the other came
out, when he told the story as given
to the police.
Detectives Breidt and McCluskey and
Officers Wellman> and Hansen were
sent out to investigate the sailors
story and it was found to be more than
a mere seaman's yarn. 1t was learned
that a group of young men in the
saloon had jumped on the sailor and
that the saloonkeeper, to avoid further
trouble had been the one to lock him
out Of harms way until the bunch had
disappeared.
The police found Joe Schubert, N.
Hamelik, George Topel, Francis Stur-
mer and B. Williams, who are alleged
to have made the attack, and locked
them up. The five we're arraigned in
the municipal court this morning,
when the saloonkeeper was called
to identify the defendants as those re-
sponsible for the assault.
Ferraro declared that he was jumped
upon so suddenly that he did not see
his assailants clearly and would be un-
able to identify them, but the saloon
keeper said he knew who they were.
The five men who attacked the sailor
and we're held in the city lookup over
Sunday were brought into the munich
pal court this morning, and at first en-
tered pleas of not guilty to the charge
of disorderly conduct. Later, however,
they changed their minds and announc-
ed that they were willing to plead
guilty. They will be given an oppor-
tunity to change their pleas this af-
ternoon.
