ARBUCKLE MAY
KNOW HIS FATE
BE0RE NIGHT
Arguments in Case of Man
slaughter Against Actor
Are Nearing Close
WITNESS SAID POISONED

San Francisco, Dec. 2.-POssibility
that before he slept tonight Roscoe
Arbuckle would know the decision of
the jury which is trying him for man
slaughter loomed big when court op-
ened today.
The prosecution late yesterday fin
ished'its first address to the jury and
the defense began what was expected
to be its only discussion OF the evl-
dence it had adduced.
The case was expected to reach the
jury sometime in the afternoon.
The poisoning Of Mrs. Irene Nor
gan leading witness for the defense,
and the beginning of the closing argu-
'ments of both sides were outstanding
developments yesterday in the trial.
Leo Friedman, an assistant district
attorney, made the first exposition
Ct the prosecutions contention that
it. had presented an unbreakable
chain of evidence to link the come-
dian with the death of Virginia Rape,
whom it charges Arbuckle injured at
a party in his rooms at a hotel here.
Gavin McNab began what seemed like
ly to be the defense's only address,
but was interrupted by adjournment
of court. The court room was
crowded.
Fatty Not Worried
Arbuckle appeared Indifferent dur
ing Friedman's argument, gazing
around or lingering shreds of paper.
Friedman told the jury that even if
Arbuckle told the truth on the stand
it would be strong enough to convict
him, for he admitted he left Miss
Rappe after her injury without call
ing a doctor or telling any one of her
condition"
why has not the prosecution pre-
scnted Bambina Maude belmont, the
complaining witness in this case"
McNab asked. He praised Mrs. Nor
gan as heroine" wounded in battle
Finger prints on the doors of the
hotel room used by Arbuckle and
said by the prosecution to be those
of Arbuckle and Miss Rape, were
called "spooks" by MoNab. "Ar
buckle was but ten minutes in that
room with Miss Rappe," he said.
The action of the district attorney
in placing witnesses under his GUS
tody ION the theory that they may be
tampered with" was attacked by Nc
Nab.
Claims TerrOrization
Miss Zeh Provost, prosecution wit
ness was "terrorized' he said in her
appearances before the police and
the grand jury, because she would not
say Miss Rappe, referring to Ar
buckle, exclaimed "he killed me-"
Weird, fantastic absurdities were
substituted for the testimony of Mrs
belmont, the complaining witness -
he said.
Friedman said Mrs. Morgan's rec
ord as war nurse, as she outlined
! it on the stand, was subject to at
tack
Fred Fishbach, leading defense
witness, was accused by Friedman
Of having attempted to take the
blame of Miss Rappe's injury on his
own shoulders The defense testi-
mony of DR.. Franklin Shiels blasted
the defense's own theory that the
! bladder rupture which caused Miss
Rappe's death might have resulted
from the sudden immersion in cold
bath" Friedman said. DR.. Shiels tes.
titled he had no knowledge of a blad.
rupturing in this fashion.

ATTACK JAIL
Belfast, Dec 2-(By the A. P.)-An
attack on the Jail at Londonderry with
the object of releasing the prisoners
there was repulsed by the police
guards today. Two policemen were
killed and several of the. attackers
captured.
The party gained entrance to the
jail undetected and their presence was
not discovered until patrol of po-
licemen saw a rope ladder handing
over the wall and gave the alarm.
Upon investigation the military
guard found two constables who
guarded the Sim Feiners lying dead
in the corridors. They had been drug
ged and strangled. The Republican
rescue party had forced the doors OF
ten cells when the guards surprised
them at their work. The military
opened fire, the Republicans replying
with revolvers. Pandemonium pre-.
vailed for sometime but the guards
finally gained the upper hand with
out losing any Of the prisoners at the
same time capturing three young
Londonderry men who made final
attempt to release the prisoners.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Aroused By
the departure of Charles w. Morse.
New York ship builder, from the
country just as the government is.
about to place before a federal grand
jury its Investigations of his trans.
actions with the shipping board, Off
cials Of various departments consid-
cred what means may be taken to
bring him back to the United States.
Meanwhile, Erwin A. and Harry F.
Morse, sons OF Charles w. Morse,
through their attorney, Wilton J. Lam
bert, issued statement here declar-
ing their father had sailed on the
Paris under passport to him in his
own name and without knowledge Of

his physician that he would have to
Alndergo an operation if he desired to
save his life" the statement said,
adding that he would return when
ever his presence was desired, land
when he is in physical condition to
do So
Justice department officials declar
ed nothing was known of Mr. Morses
departure until it was reported from
New York. Morse was granted pass
port several months ago, state depart
ment officials said, and this passport
presumably was good at the time of
his sailing. No passport is necessary
! for citizen Of this country to leave
the United States, it was explained,
! but the state department issued them
as the most convenient proof of
American citizenship which is required
! for admission to virtually all foreign
! countries.
High Officials Silent.
High government officials were not
inclined to discuss the efforts being
made to effect the return of Morse to
ihis country. Secretary Hughes con-
ferred with Ambassador Jusserand OF
/ France at the state department, but
+ 1t was not disclosed whether the SUBJ
ject of Morse's departure on the Paris
which, under international law, is in
French territory, was under discus
| sion
Secretary DENLY said he had not
been requested to furnish destroyer
to take Morse off the Paris and that
he could not have taken him of a
foreign ship if he had been asked to
do 80.
