PROMINENT WITNESSES
Mrs. Spreckles One of
Those Who Attended
Dying Girl
(By Associated Fr-ss.;


San Francisco, Sept. 12-Rosco c.
(Fatty) Arbuckle, motion picture
comedian, was formally arraigned in
police court here today on a charge
of murder in connection with the
deathtof Miss Virginia Rappe, mo-
tion picture actress, which occurred
last Friday following a party in Ar
buckles room in the St. Francis no.
tel last Monday. The complaint
against Arbuckle, the second to BE-
lodged against him since his arrival
here from Los Angeles on Saturday,
was signed by Mrs. .Bambina Bel
mont, Ia friend of the dead woman.
The first complaint made by police
officials, was for the purpose of hold,
ing the comedian in custody pending
further investigation. When Ar.
buckla appeared before Judge
0sElis1 To-day be refused to talk Of
the case. Through his attorney a
continuance to Friday was obtained
and the prisoner was returned to his
cell.
Mrs. Spreckles a Witness.
Representative of the District At
torney's Office continued their ques-
tioning of those known to have at
tended the Arbuckle party last Mon
day and from these District Attor-
ney Brady states was obtained evil
dence which will be used against the
actor at his trial. Among those
questioned today was Mrs. Sid Writ
Spreckles; widow of John B. Spreck
les, jr.
Mrs. Spreckles told the district at
torney that she was informed over
the telephone last Friday by Mrs.
Belmont that the young actress was
in serious condition in local hos
pital. Mrs. Belmont asked Mrs.
Spreckles to telegraph Henry Lehr-
man, in New York, concerning Miss
Rappe's condition. After the tele-
gram had been sent Mrs. Spreckle.;
told the district attorney that she
called at the hospital and saw Miss
Rappe.
Girls Dying Words.
Mrs. Sprickies said she was not
sure Miss Rape recognized her, but
she said to Mrs. Spreckles, ooh, to
think that led such a quiet life and
to think that should get into such
a party"
Later in the day, Mrs. Spreckles
said, she returned to the hospital
with an answer to the telegram she
had sent to Lehrman. On her arri-
val at the hospital Mrs. Spreckles
said the Rappe girl was unconscious
and the telegram was not read to
her.
Mrs. Spreckles told the district at
torney that she then called on DR..
James L. Gordon, pastor of the First
Congregational church and asked
him to offer prayers for the dying
girl. Mrs. Spreckles met Miss
Rappe in this city in 1915, she said.
Cafe Entertainer Baked
Hoyce Clark, a cafe entertainer,
was summoned to the office of the
captain of detectives after it was
learned that she had been invited
to Arbuckle's party.
Miss Clarke said she went as far
as the lobby of the hotel but decided
not to go to Arbuckle's rooms. She
met Mrs. Belmont the next day, she
said and MrMs. Belmont gave her
the details of the party and the al
legged attack.
Arbuckle spent the afternoon at
the inquest. Tonight he went to his
cell to await the outcome of a grand
