(Fatty) Arbuckle on a manslaughter charge in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe. The prosecution announced at adjournment today that it would continue this character of evidence despite it's earlier announcement that it would conclude finally today. Milton T. U'Ren, assistant district attorney, said that the commission of three medical experts who had been selected to examine the bladder of Miss Rappe would not report be- fore Thursday. This commission will determine. if possible if the organ was in healthy condition before ehe fatal rupture, which the prosecution alleges Arbuckle caused by the ap- plication of external force during a party in the rooms of the Hotel St Francis.
