Dominguez, remarked to Mrs. w. B.
Hamilton, member of the women's
V1gilant committee:
II hope you ladies' will suspend
Judgment in this case until all Of the
testimony has been brought out"
1t was reported today that DIR. Ar.
tnur Beardslee, missing physician.
who attended Miss Rappe the first
night of her illness, had returned to
the city, and would be questioned to-
day by District Attorney Brady. In
asmuch as the State has yet called
none of the physicians who attended
Miss Rappe during her weeks illness,
1t was considered probable that he
would not appear at the preliminary
hearing.
Women Crowd Courtroom.
The hearing began at 1 o'clock yes
terday afternoon in q courtroom
packed with women. Both prosecution
and defense were prepared for q long
extended examination.
Judge Lazarus has the power to
hold Arbuckle to the higher court on
granddaughter, or to dismiss the
charge altogether. In the last-men.
toned event the State would proceed
to try the defendant on the indict-
ment which charges granddaughter.
Deputy District Attorney U'Ren
conducted the prosecution and Attor.
ney Frank Dominiguez, Of Los Ange-
les, appeared as chief counsel for the
defense.
The women began coming into tn"
Hall of Justice at o'clock yesterday
morning. They stood in the lobby
down stairs, in the corridors outside
ftNA Nw-N
room as soon as 1t opened. Many Of
them brought lunches.
Arbuckle came in with his wife and
her mother, his attorneys and the
guard. Silence settled over the
hitherto laughing, babbling. gushing,
gurgling mass of women.
The Judge warned the courtroom
that decorum had to prevail under
penalty for contempt of court. The
first witness. DIR. Strange, was put
upon the stand.
DIR. Stranges voice was audible, but
his language was not understood. He
speaks a medical English and appar-
emily cannot be made to talk lay
mans talk"
Arbuckle looked earnestly at the
witnesses. His face was vacuous. He
slumped forward in his chair, one fat
shoulder lower than the other, the
right arm now hanging over the brass
railings in back of him, now lying
straight along its length. Now his fat
fingers were open, beating a silent
tattoo on the railing. Now they shut
and open. shut and open. They were
nervous fingers. They were the only
visible signs of interest.
The doctor told about the bruises on
Miss Rappe's arms and body. Two
of these, he said, must have been
made by a hypodermic needle. Two
others, in his opinion. probably were
made by the fingers of some one press
ing with force. All the marks, he
says. were made before death.
All the organs OF the body he ex-

While the hearing was in session
Robert II. Mccormack, Assistant
United States Attorney General, in
charge Of prohibition prosecution. and
E. Forrest Mitchell, Federal district
prohibition enforcement officer, con
ferred on the evidence that liquor
was served and consumed at the
Arbuckle party. Mitchell, who re-
turned from Los Angeles yesterday
after investigating certain phases
there of the party's alleged liquor
supply. said he had questioned SEM
nacher and that he had made a very
good witness"

ON your judgment, Doctor, were
these bruises ante-mortem or post

DomingueZ promptly objected on
the ground that the witness was not
qualified as an expert, but was over
ruled.
A.-The two on the left arm near
the vaccination were made appar-
emily by an hypodermic needle; each
had a little central point where
sharp instrument had been inserted.

Court Frames Question.
Judge Lazarus suggested the ask.
ing of a foundation question which
he phrased himself.
The State accepted the question.
The witness said he had frequently
made such examinations and had
treated many injuries, including
bruises.
ON this case was it possible to
make the determination as to the
cause?
Al could only say what It ap-
peared to me to be.
Q.-From your education. expert.
ence and other qualifications, are
you able to determine, in your opin.
ion, what caused these wounds?
Al couldn't determine absolutely.
Q.-Could you say whether it was
a blow. a needle, red hot poker, or
what?
Judge Lazarus.-From my cursory
knowledge of medicine, should say
this: That all a doctor could give
would be general causes. II the
doctor can be more exact We are
prepared to listen to him. o,
Question repeated.
A.-My opinion at the time was
that the small bruises on the right
arm were due to finger prints. But
as to the other bruises on the body
I was unable to say just what had
caused them.
At this point the State introduced
photographs of the body. taken at
the time of the autopsy for the pur-
pose of Identifying the bruises.
Dominguez made vigorous objec.
ton, saying II would be necessary to
call the official photographer.
U'Ren--They may be introduced
merely as diagrams ror purpose Of
discussion.
Photographs Admitted.
The photos were admitted as evi.
dence, for use as diagrams. DR.,
Strange pointed out the bruises, iden.
tifying their position and saying they
were not as clear in the photographs
as In the original examination. Then,
questioned further, Ne discussed more
bruises.

permitted to use his typewritten
notes-and here Frank Domin-

first objection.

"Are these your original notes?" he
asked.

Where are the originals?"
Probably In the waste basket"
Domenguez permitted the point to
pass after assurance that typewriter

The witness proceeded:
