death of Miss Virginia Rappe, was
given to the jury at 7:15 eathern
time tonight. At 1 o'clock this morn
ing the jury had not reported it's
findings.
The case has occupied the courts
for approximately three weeks. To-
days entire session was taken up
with final arguments, instructions to
the jury and jury deliberations.
Gavin McNab, chief defense coun-
sci, opened the session today with a
continuation of his closing argument.
He was followed by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney U'Ren, whose sum-
ming up lasted nearly an hour. The
court room was crwoded throughout
the trial and the adjoining corridors
also held an anxious, crushing
crowd Arbuckle appeared t oshow
deep interest in the arguments.
Fatty's Future Waits Verdict
A member of defense counsel an
nounced during the day that threats
had been received against him and
Arbuckle if the latter were acquitted.

Alternate Juror Hopkins, said the
jury had been watched closer than

Sim Fein Will Consider

Conference

Late Offer
(By Associated Pressl

London, Dec. 2-The eyes of all
those interested in Ireland now are
fixed on Dublin, seat of the Dali
Earrin, as they were early in the
week on Belfast, the center of Ulste-
rism. All the Sim Fein peace dele
gates now have left London to meet
with the Dali Earrin cabinet tomor-
row for consideration of the govern
ment's latest proposals for settle
ment OF. the age long strife between
England and Ulster and southern
ireland.
1t is also possible that the dele
gates will ask the Dali cabinet whe-
ther it would consent to adjourn
ment of the negotiations in the hope
that time might bring the two sides
closer together and incidentally per-
nit Premier Lloyd George to attend
the Washington conference which, it
is suggested, he intends to do, no
matter what the result of the nego-
tiations.
The Sim Fein delegates went home
not at all optomistic regarding the
decision of their cabinet. They them
selves do not think the new propo-
sails are acceptable and regard it as
unlikely that Eamon DeValera and
the other members of the Dali Ear
rim have so far changed their minds
regarding what they contend are Ire
lands rights as to agree to the pro-
posals.

session of Two Teeth.

This young man of eight years has
been suffering the loss of his first
teeth, and his mother has had him in
the dentist chair several times. As
the teeth show an inclination to part
company with the hoy, the dentists
bill is running up. Until last week
the boy positively refused to permit
his mother to pull his teeth. She told
him finally that he could pull them
and she would give him 80 cents for
each one. He thought it over and de-
cided to pull two loose ones himself.
1t was easy and he got 81.
a lawn fete was to be given in the
nelghborhood the other night, and the
boy wished TO go. The day before the
affair was scheduled he brought four
teeth to his mother and demanded 81.
His mother was shocked, examined
the teeth and found they were sound
and would have lasted a long time.
The youngster said he needed the
money, rs he expected to attend the
lawn fete. He got it.-Indianapolis
