San Francisco. Nov. 15.-Twelve
veniremen examined and five jurors
accepted tentatively one of them a
woman. was the situation at the op-
ening of the second day of the trial
of Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle here
today on a manslaughter charge. Ar
buckle went on trial yesterday on
charges connected with the death of
Miss Virginia Rappe, film actress,
whose demise followed party in Ar
buckles room at the Hotel st. Fran
els here last September. The five jur-
ors so far seated, however, still are
subject to peremptory challenge.
Exhaustive Interrogation to which
veniremen are being subjected indi-
Gates that the jury probably will not
be completed before Thursday. Lack
of interest in the tedious round OF
picking a jury is thought to be re-
spcnsible for the absence at the op
ening of Arbuckle's trial of the
chrongs that sought admittance at his
preliminary hearing, although all
places in the court room were taken
yesterday A special police guard is
on duty in anticipation of scramble
for seats when the taking of testi
mony is started.
Perceptibly downcast, the film co
median sat in silence while lawyers
questioned prospective jurors.
