Acauittal is not enough for Roscoe
Arbuckle. Na
1--WE feel that great injustice has
been, done him. We feel also that it
was only our plain duty to give him
this exoneration, under the evidence,
for there was not the slightest proof
adduced to connect him in any way
with the commission of a crime.
''IIe was manly throughout the case
and told a Straightforward story on
the witness stand, which we all be-
lieved.
"The happening at the hotel was an
affair for which Arbuckle,

responsible.

that the American people will take the
Judgment of fourteen men and women

the evidence, that Roscoe Arbuckle is
entirely innocent and free from all
blame" "
