on charges arising from the death Of
Virginia Reppe, that attempts had been
made at her intimidation. ., 49,

too fierce to make an acceptance Of vir-
tual defeat easy or'painless." Too much
had been at stake The Jurors them
selves were plainly irritated almost be

most irritated of all. She spoke only
tive words after her formal and cut an .
swer to the routine questions Of the
court.
She Had IL In For Me-
Get me out of here" she said
harshly to a woman who sto,d waiting
for her. She brushed her way through
the little crowd of spectators and was
one of the first out Of the building.
Fatty looked after her curiously and
without apparent resentment. THAT

For many days the defense had been
in fear of Mrs. Hubbard. She sat in
the front row of the jury. She is the
wife Of q San Francisco lawyer. And
she. had cultivated a habit, of gazing

lawyers that one or another of them
was disconnected more than once In the
middle of an address and lost the thread
Of discourse and had to falter and pick
1t up again. -s' T
When the long wait began and it be-
came known that the jury was
wrangling Fatty's lawyers whispered to
one another that it was only the stern
lady and that she would have to come
around to reason sooner or later. They
had something to learn,
Brady Well Pleased
District Attorney Brady was not in
court when the jury was called in. He
received the news in his Office with
manifestations Of savage joy, and he
went to work this morning preparing
for the new trial.
Wealth and power and influence
didn't get away with 1t for once" he
said. It Is Brady's weakness to play
rather monotoncrsly on tIat note. He
believes that the precedent Of Disagree
uent will tell in favor of the prosecu
lion, and he still hopes to put Fatty in
Jail.
{" The four jurywomen who voted
solidly for acquittal, either at the be-
ginning or toward the end of the long
session. took calm and practical view
of the evidence.
"Some of us, said Mrs. Kitty Mac
Donald. ''believed Mr.. Arbuckle guilty

to justify q verdict Of guiltr. we-fc-

strain was terrible. We all argued with

had talked with Mrs. Hubbard and had
seen the justice Of her point Of view
