ARBUCKLE IS GIVEN
FREEDOM on BOND

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 3O-Ros-
coe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle, at liberty
Wednesday under $4,000 bond after
two weeks preliminary hearing on a
charge of murder in connection with
the death of Miss Virginia Rape,
motion picture acrtess, will be tried
on a charge of manslaughter within
few days if present plans of Mat
thew Brady. district attorney, mate
rialize.
Two such charges are pending
against Arbuckle-one being placed
yesterday, when, at the conclusion
of the hearing before Sylvan J. Laz-
arus, police judge, the murder charge
was amended and the other having
been returned recently by county
grand jury which investigated the
hotel party given by Arbuckle and
at which the state contends the
young woman received injuries which
caused her death.
Arbuckle regained his freedom
shortly after the preliminary hear
ing was ended. He already had on
deposit $4,000 bail in connection with
the indictment and this was trans
ferred to cover the proceedings aris-
ing from Mrs. Delmont's complaint
other one the same rate, he was
placed ION his own recognizance' to
return October 8.
That date had been set several
Iox Ia11t Dl-o6 10 70
last night that if he could he would
utilize it to bring Arbuckle to trial
on the belmont complaint which was
modified yesterday by Judge Laza-
rus.
Whether he would be able to have
Arbuckle appear to answer to one
complaint and then try him on an
other one, the same date he was
not sure, he said, but declared he
would try, since both complaints
charge the same offense, arising
from the same circumstances.
Brady's reason for this attempt, he
stated was that he wished to avoid
furnishing the defense attornsy with
a transcript of the evidence before
the grand jury.
The district attorney in a long
statement last night said that Judge
Lazarus had accorded Arbuckle's
case unusual treatment and charged
that IF Roscoe Arbuckle were I'M
known and unimportant he would
have been held for murder and
treated precisely the same as were
other defendants. of disrepute."
by golly, I'm glad; thank you all
for your good Wishes" was all the
comment Arbuckle would make.
1t was believed that Arbuckle
would leave today for Los Angeles
in his big $4,000 automobile, prob
ably accompanied by his wife, Minta
Durfee, and her mother. The depar-
ture would be made as secretly as
possible, as Fatty feels that what
he does now is chiefly his own bust
ness and he wishes to avoid the
crowds of curious.
In my opinion, we are not trying
Roscoe Arbuckle alone" Judge Laza-
rus said in rendering his decision.
Actually, and in a larger sense, we
are trying ourselves, our present-day
morals, social conditions, looseness
of thought and lack of social bal
ance. The issue is universal an6
grows out of conditions which are a
amtter of comment and notoriety and
apprehension to every lover and pro-
tector of our American institutions. 80

Mitchell County
Welcomes Rain

CAMILLA, Ca Sept; So;7-For the
first time since May, Camilla and VI
cinity got good rain Monday af-
ternoon. For two hours, there was
a steady downpour that brought re-
lief to a very thirsty section of the
country. The drought had been so
severe and so long that turpentine
stills had been forced to shut down
and many of the pine trees have died
for lack of moisture.
The rain came too late to benefit
this years cane and potato crops,
both of which are almost total fall
ures. The pecan crop has likewise
been injured and what promised, to
be the best crop Of the industry has
fallen back to probable average.
The larger varieties are very small
and there will be very few number
ones.
Some Of the ladies report that they
have raised chickens large enough for
fryers that had never seen a rain
and did not know what to make Of
it. A run was made on the seed men
as soon as the rain came.

Notwithstanding your personal as
