Fate of Arbuckle
May Be Placed in
Jury's Hands To-day
Two Rebuttal Witnesses and
Medical Report Still To
Be Heard; Attendant at
Hot Springs Aids Defense
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.-There is
a possibility that the case against
Roscoe C"Fatty'D Arbuckle, will go to
the jury tomorrow evening.
Both sides in the manslaughter trial
are through save for the rebuttal testi-
mony of two physicians called by the
state and the report of the medical
commission appointed to examine the
organs of Miss Virginia Rappe
The physicians were to be examined
this afternoon but were unable to be
present, and court adjourned at a
o'clock. After the jury had filed out
Judge Louderback questioned counsel
as to the time they would take in max
ing their addresses to the jury.
Gavin McNab, chief of the defense
counsel, asserted he was ready to give
his case to the jury right now" with
out making the statement. The state,
however, felt it should make a state
ment summing up it's case and proper
ly presenting it to the jury. The court
felt each side should be limited to four
hours, and both sides agreed to this.
Mrs. Lula Corey, attendant at the
bathhouse in Wheeler Hot Springs,
was the last witness. She corrobo
rated the testimony OF Mrs. Minnie
Neighbors, whom District Attorney
Matthew Brady had arrested on a
charge Of perjury after she had said
that Miss Rappe was at the Springs in
August.
Mrs. Corey said she remembered
seeing Miss Rappe in bathing suit
and IN a khaki hiking suit. She iden-
tilted pictures of Miss Rape, but could
not remember any other person who
was at the bathhouse that day.
"Possibly | could have remem-
bered," she explained. "if any of them
had met with an accident as Miss
Rape did"
This testimony, which corroborated
that of Mrs. Neighbors, tends to con
tradict that of Miss Kate Hardeback
and Mrs. Mary Polynn

for Miss Rappe, declared mat during

A Sudden Interest in Paddy's Pond

and recognized.
Old Pasture pair of sharp ears
pricked up at the sound of that voice,
and Old Man Coyote lifted his head
to listen. Then got to his feet, for
he had been taking a nap on his
doorstep, and, facing the North, he
stood like a. statue listening and
watching. AS the sound Of that voice
grew louder and clearer look Of
eagerncss and longing and crafti-
ness crept into his eyes.
lie saw those tiny specks grow
and his flock turn and slant down
toward the Green Forest and finally
disappear in the trees. Then Old
Man Coyote licked his lips, yawned
stretched, licked his lips again and
sat down.
CAS- sure as I am alive they are
going TO spend the night in the pond
of Paddy the Beaver" he muttered.
"My, my, my, how good Goose
would taste! I haven't been over
to call on Paddy the Beaver for a
long time. 1t will be moonlight to-
night, so think will run over just
to be neighborly." Old Man Coyote
grinned when he said this and licked
his lips again.
Other ears and quite as sharp as
those of Old Man Coyote had heard
that voice as soon as he had They
were black ears and there were two
pairs of them. They had listened
eagerly and two sharp faces had
turned to the North and watched
those specks grow larger and larger
and finally disappear behind the
trees of the Green Forest.

neglected Paddy the Beaver of late
and that tonight will be a good time

and see II you can stab me-" And he
turned toward Philip.
The sixteen-ycar-old boy then, ac-
cording TO his statement made later
to the police, pushed tho knife against
the breast of Hyman.
DO you feel it?" he asked his COM
panion.
"Ouchl Yes! You scratched mel"
was tho answer.
The two jumped off tho fence and
ran to the end of the street. Standing
in front of the drug store at the corner,
Hyman unbuttoned his coat and found
his shirt front saturated with blood.
Then he collapsed.
Philip rushed into tho drug store,
where q call was sent for an ambulance.
In Bellevue Hospital, where Hyman
was taken, it was found that the path
of the knife had missed the boys heart
by less than quarter of an inch.
After the ambulance, carrying his
friend, had changed it's way out Of
Norfolk Street, Philip went to the Fifth
Street police station. He is being held
on charge of felonious assault pend

When Hyman regained consciousness
in the hospital he said, "Tell Phil to

Miss Ridderstad
Returned to Jail
In Art Fraud Case
Surety Company Surrenders
Reputed Daughter of No
BILE Swedish Family Ac-
cused of Cheating Buyer

Miss Hjordis Ridderstad, said to be
member of noble family in Stock
holm, Sweden, yesterday for the second
time in five months became guest
of Sheriff Knott in Ludlow Street jail.
She had been free on $4,000 bail
since June 81, the Fidelity and Deposit
Company of Maryland going on her
bond after the young woman spent q
few days in Jail. Her arrest in June
was made on an order issued in q suit
brought to recover $4,000, which it
was alleged by Carl Klipple, the plain
tiff, Miss Ridderstad received for q
painting which she never delivered.
Miss Ridderstad succeeded in obtain
ing bail bond the first time she was
in Ludlow Street jail through the in
tervention of Zero Hagen, acting con-
sui general of Finland, with whose
family she was living. Since then she
has been in Europe, returning here q
few days ago. For some reason not
made public the Fidelity and Deposit
Company yesterday surrendered Miss
Ridderstad to Sheriff Knott and re-
lieved itself of the $4,000 bond given
in June.
Mr Ripple, who is bringing the suit
under which MISS Rldderstad is held,
is acting as assignee of a claim held
by Dr.. Henry Holm, OF 1speming, Mich,
who was the purchaser of the paint
ing, which it is alleged the defendant
sold but failed to deliver The paint
ing was "The Cossacks' Reply to Sultan
Mohammed w." and was the work of
lila Repin, a Russian artist
According to DR.. Holm, whose story
is told by Mr. Klipple, Miss Ridder-
stad said the painting was in Stock
holm and that she would send for and
deliver it to the purchaser. DR.. Holm,
it is alleged, paid 100000 He waited
six months for the picture and then
caused suit to be brought

Special Correspondence Of The Tribune
HARTFORD, Conn, May 22.-~ Mrs
Emil Schultz is doing her utmost, it
was learned TODAY. 20 raise the $10,-
600 bail bond necessary to release her
husband. storekeeper of Shailervile
and constable of the town of Haddam
whose arrest she caused last week on
charge of assault.
Bail was fixed in that sum to keep
Schultz in Jail until the authorities
could investigate the disappearance Of
his aged employee, Dennis Laduc, who
body burned in a brush heap behind
the Schultz store. Charred bones
which have been found are thought to
be those of Laduc.
Captain Hurley, of the State Police
Department, said to-day that if Mrs.
Schultz succeeded in freeing tenn
porariiy the man she has accused Of
trying to kill her, because she refused
TO deed over property to him, he would
proceed Immediately y to lodge more
serious charge against Schultz.
lie believes that it is most important
for the success of his investigation
that Schultz remain securely locked up
while it is in progress. From what he
has learned already, Captain Hurley
is convinced that not only the store
keepers family, but almost the entire
community of Shailerville, lived in ter
ror of the hot-tempered German.
Said to Have Made $4,000
Shrewd business instinct and good
luck in real estate deals have brought
Schultz a fortune estimated at about
$4,000 in the years he has played the
part of baron Of Shailerville. He was
in q position, both because Of his
wealth and because of his office Of con-
stable, to make it unpleasant for those
who opposed him and Captain Hurley
believes that he can get much more in
formation If he is able to keep Schultz
in jail.
1t was not until the storekeeper had
been in jail for several days that his
twelveyear-o son, Augustine, mus
tered up the courage to tell Captain
Hurley of certain incidents he had OBJ
