actress, on the stand in the Arbuekie

for to-day's session and the nature OF
her testimony should she be placed on

able speculation. She was named with
six other persons in subpoenas issued
last night.
They were sought as witnesses by
the prosecution but no official Of the
district attorneys Office could be found
who would indicate what they would
be asked on the stand. They will be
rebuttaI witnesses, as the prosecution
closed its direct case several days
ago.
The defense, regardless Of whether
Arbuckle takes the stand, has an
nounced itself as planning TO close
its case by tonight.
