of arranging his bail were completed.
RELEASED ON BAIL
The district attorney moved that
Arbuckle be released on his own rec
ognizance, in view of the bail of
$4,000 cash or $4,000 bonds fixed in
the superior court charge of man
slaughter growing out Of a grand
jury indictment.
THE district attorney has frankly
admitted he has offered merely
enough to warrant holding the de-
fendant-holding in eserv other
evidence which he has failed to pre-
sent said Judge Lazarus In outlin-
ing the last as he say 1t.
I'VE need not disguise the fact
that this is an important case In my
opinion we are not trying Roscoe Ar
alone. the screen celebrity who
has given mirth to the whole world.
We are, in a sense, trying ourselves,
our morals, our present-day social
standards. The question is larger
than the guilt of this unfortunate; it
is a universal issue.
THE affair was the elimination of
an orgy at n of our leading hostel
ries. An orgy unrepressed by the
management is. | take it, a common
thing in our big cities.
81 had really hoped that this court
would be the avenue for full and COM
plete revelation of all the facts SO
the public of the entire world would
have the opportunity to ascertain this
widely known defendants guilt or
innocence.
CALLS THEM FESTIVITIES
THE testimony heard shows that
during the whole afternoon there
went on, let us charitably say, fes-
tivities. People were coming and 60
ing, so that witnesses are unable to
say who were the occupants at any
particular hour.
Much liquor was drunk and the
complaining witness in particular was
in an inebriated condition.
Miss Rape, according to the pic
ture l have tried to draw of the event.
went into room 1919 of this hotel,
followed, without previous converse
ton, by the defendant.
"They remained in there about
three-quarters of an hour, according
to Miss ley Prevost's testimony. No
sounds were heard by the rest of the
party.
Then the complaining witness and
Miss Provost made clamor at the
door, which was opened by the de-
PENDANT, and those ladies entered the
room.
They found Miss Rape lying on
a bed, fully clothed, and apparently
in agony. She was clutching at her
clothes, and, with the assistance of
her women companions, she vas COM
pletely disrobed. l thought some of
the orr garments might bear on the
point at issue, but from the prosecu-
tons own witnesses, 1t appears they
must have been torn afterward."
GOLDEN INTERRUPTS
Assistant District Attorney Isidore
Golden interrupted with the assertion
that the evidence showed one of the
garments must have been torn off.
The court said he could not see
any significance in certain other testi-
fony introduced by the prosecution.
Evidence has been given regard
ing alleged ribald conduct of the de-
PENDANT regarding the use of ice, but
in no connection with any possible in
juries received by the deceased, al
though it was a regrettable incident.
Photographs of bruises on Miss
Rappe's body were introduced, but
DR.. Arthur Beardslee. who attended
her, saw only n on the arm. I'm
doubtedly If there had been others on
the body he would have noticed them.
"Semnacher's testimony was en-
tirely ~valueless, and two days Of court
time was taken up fruitlessly hearing
him.
THE only one whose evidence
might have connected the defendant
with the commission of a crime was
that of the chambermaid who
heard from the corridor the cry of a
woman, No. no, oh, my Cod" and a
mans reply, oh, shut up!'
SAYS CASE INCOMPLETE
although there were indications
that the district attorney at a trial
would try to show a more complete
case, there was the merest skeleton
