Liquor Probe in
Arbuckle Case Is
Feature Of Day
Investigation Reveals Cigan,

Canada to Mexico, With
Frisco as Base.

San francisco, Sept. 30.-Prepara-
tions for the prosecution of Roscoe
(Fatty) Arbuckle on a charge OF
lnanslaughter in connection with the
death of Miss Virginia Rappe today
were oyershadowed, at least for a
time, by the federal investigation
into the supply Of liqucr drank by
the guests at the comedians Hotel
St. Francis, party.
Belief that his investigations had
uncovered a gigantic liquor-sinug-
Cling ring, operating with San
Francisco as base, and which i'm
ports liquors of choice brand and
quality only from Mexico and Can
ada, was expressed by Federal Pro-
hibition Director E. Forrest Mitch
ell. He is making his inquiry@at the
instance Of Robert H. Mccormack,
special assistant to the United States
attorney general.
Mitchell last night stated that he
had witness who delivered liquor
to Arbuckle's suite at the Hotel St.
Francis. The name Of the man is
being withheld and he is being
guarded closely by federal opera
tives pending his going before a fed
eral grand jury, it was stated.
Arbuckle left San Francisco last
night for Los Angeles in company
with his wife, his mother-in-law and
defense attorneys. A Pullman car
on the train was turned over to the
Arbuckle party exclusively. Ar
buckle will remain there, it was an
rounced, until summoned to San
Francisco for trial on the man

Hollywood met him today, Holly

Los Angeles saw him comingfrom

off the train. All the morning he had
heen wondering, worrying, ponder
ing on the manner Of his reception.

nice to him after Judge Lazarus had
decided he was not guilty OF murder
but might be guilty Of manslaught-

would have to live in Los Angeles
A brakeman got excited and
waved to him as the train crawled
into the yards. Another and anoth-
er caught sight OF him, and waved.
Cries OF Hello, Fatty" Welcome,
old boy" Were for you, Fatty"
The train stopped. Crowds of peo-
pie waited breathlessly. A grinning
porter placed the step fo- "Fatty's"
foot, and there were cheers and
shouts and a great clapping OF
hands.
"Bull" Montana, Buster Keaton,
Hank Mann and half a dozen others
fought for the pleasure Of shaking
his hand
"A woman stood on suitcase and
bitterly denounced him. Few gave
any heed. Why listen to her when
they can see Fatty" Fatty lum-
bered into a salad green car, and
whirled over the boulevards, home.
