(BY The Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Sept. 12,-Roscoe
(Fatty) Arbuckle, who was the de-
fendant in a police court murder
arraignment this morning as dra-
matte as anv motion picture, spent
the afternoon at coroner's inquest

jury investigation in which Mrs.

tel suite a week ago. from which
the death of Miss Rappe ensued,
was expected to be the leading wit
ness.
She did not testify at the open
ing session of the inquest, the dis
trict attorney saying that her ap-
pearance today previous to the
grand jury session would handicap
the authorities. Instead the story
was told by physicians and others
of Miss Rappe's removal from Ar
buckles suite, her treatment in an
other hote> room and later at a
hospital, her death and the post
mortem examination.
Although his part in the affair
was the center point of interest,
Arbuckle was an almost unnotlced
figure at the inquest, sharp con-
trast to the arraignment, where a
sea of faces banked the court room
like a prize fight arena and a
dozen petty law violators pressed
unshaven faces against the steel
grating of the prisoners dock to a
screen star performer without an
admission charge.
The most vivid account of MISS
Rappe's last hours was given be-
fore the inquest by Mrs. Sidl Wlr'
Spreckels, widow of John D.

the hospital last Friday morning. q
