most important testimony on his TO
lated return.
According to U'Ren, DIR. BeardsIet
declared symptoms Of an internal In
jury were present from the start and
oyershadowed Indications Of alcO
holism. They were so marked, ht
' said. that he recommended that she
be taken TO q hospital before turn
: ing the case over to DIR. Nj. K. Rum
well.
I'm his statement before me-
U'Ren announced, "Dr. Beardslee
said that whatever evidence there
was Of alcoholism in Miss Rappe'f
case was entirely overshadowed by
the intense pain she was suffering
and by the symptoms OF an apparent
internal injury. Any symptom OF
alcoholism, the doctor said, was sec.
ondary.
Immediately upon being called to
treat Miss Rappe Monday night, Sept
enlber 5, DR.. Beardslee said that after
securing the history Of the case and
observing the symptoms, he came to
the conclusion that 1t was q case of
some internal injury and advised her
removal to a hospital at once.
"At 5 o'clock the next morning, the
physician said, he treated Miss Rappe
again. He was relieved of the case,
he said. shortly afterward by DR..
Rumwell"
Semnacher, a short. squat, middle
aged man with iron-gray hair, gray
eyes and a weary gray countenance,
took the stand in the courtroom of
Judge Lazarus late yesterday after
noon and Assistant District Attorney
Golden Immediately began cross-ex.
animation.
Arbuckle sat in the same position
all during the afternoon, save for the
five-minute recess that came toward
he close Of the hearing, looking in
terestedly at the man in the witness
hair. The witness, however. avoided
ieturning Arbuckle's gaze. Arbuckle
showed no emotion whatever. His face
remained blank from the moment he
look his seat until the adjournment
1nly now and then one might notice
he spasmodic movements Of his
tngers.
Golden put the witness through a
iEorous ordeal, questioning him again
nd again about various things, trying
. trap him, trying to make him re-
resh his memory, trying to bring
ut evidence that the man seemed
o have forgotten.
Schumacher first told he had como
o San Francisco in his automobile
with Miss Rape and Mrs. Maude Del
mont at IL o'clock on the night Of
.''eptember 4. They stopped at the
Alace Hotel. The following morning
81 breakfast some one PACED Miss
Rappe. She went to the phone.
Ssmnacher was not allowed to say
who called her or what was said.
shortly after this he took them to the
s.. Francis and left them.
About 1:30 or 2 o'clock he called
Arbuckle's room, 1920. and was in-
vited by Fred Fishback to come up.
Arbuckle was there: Lowell Sherman,
an actor; Ira Fortlouis, a cloak and
suit merchant: Miss Rappe, Mrs. Del
mont, Miss ley Prevon, Miss Alice
Blake, and Mrs. Mae Taube.
Semnacher Describes Revels.
Q.-Tell what you saw when you
entered the room.
A.-Arbuckle was sitting at a table.
He was eating. He was dressed in
slippers, pajamas, and a bath robe.
Sherman was dressed in the same
manner. All the other men and all
the women, except Mrs. belmont,
were clad in their street attire.
Semnacher stayed half an hour in
the room, then took Miss Blake to a
rehearsal and returned with her
about 3 o'clock. Miss Dolly Clark and
Miss Bessie Campbell had joined the
others by this time.
Q.-Was there any dancing at 3
O'Clock?
A.-There was some talking, laugh.
ing. phonograph playing, drinking.
They drank out Of gin, whisky and
White Rock bottles and out Of bottles
without labels. I believe Miss Blake
and Miss Prevon danced together, 0nd
believe Arbuckle and Sherman
danced with the ladies.
Semnacher then told of leaving
the party on several other occasions,
once to get a package of cigarettes.
He told of seeing two women 60
from room 1920 to room 1919. Ar

went with the others.

lying on various articles OF furni-
ture, her hat and cape on chairs;

dying" Mr.. Arbuckie asked some one
to get q doctor. One Of the ladies
suggested bicarbonate of soda, en-.
other ice, another ammonia.
Mr.. Golden wanted to know about
the ice. He asked hundred ques-
tions about Il. The witness could
answer mono satisfactorily.
Semnacher then told how the
women had carried the victim into
