At Inquest Mrs. Delmont Tes- tified That She Heard Miss Rappe Scream, "I Am Hurt; l Am Dying; He Did It."

San Francisco, Cept. 1S-With the grand jury which has been hearing evidence against him adjourned and the coroner's inquest extentending in- to it's second day without verdict, Fatty" Arbuckle motion picture CO., median, charged with the murder of Miss Virginia Rappe, an actress whose death occurred after party in Ar buckles rooms in a hotel, spent his third night in cell tonight.
 The grand jury adjourned without returning an indictment but another session will be held as soon as dis | trict attorney Matthew Brady is req dy to present further testimony, the foreman announced.
 Added interest was given the cast | today when the district attorney de- l clared he would start an invess sigation | to ascertain whether witnesses, who were present at the party last week, | have been tempered with. The off cial statement followed the appear ance of Miss Vey Provost, also known as Miss Pyvron, before the grand Jury. According to MT. Brady her testimony i there was entirely different from that 1 she previously gave him. Reports that another witness, Alice | Blake, had disappeared, proved erron- l eous when she appeared at the dis 1 trict attorneys office. Miss Blake ex- plained, acording to Brady, that she 1 had gone from her home in Berkeley to a friends home in Oakland in order to avoid publicity.
 Among witnesses before the grand jury, some of whom later testified at the second days proceedings of the i coroner's inquest were Mrs. Bambna Maud Belmont, Al Seminacher, Miss Rappes manager, Ney Provost and AL ice Blake all of whom are sid to have | been present at the Arbuckle party and Mrs. Jean Jameson, a nurse who attended Miss Rappe before her death
