Fatty TO Face
ANOTHER TRIAL
JURY DIsAGREss, 10 TO 2 FOR
CONVICTION IN SECOND
SESSION..

San Francisco, Feb. 8.-The jury
in the second trial of a manslaughter
charge against Roscoe C. "Fatty"
Arbuckle, decided at the conclusion
of a AZ hour session that it could not
agree, and was discharged today,
with the final ballot standing ten for
conviction and two for acquittal.
Arbuckle was accused of having
caused the death of Miss Virginia
Rappe Of Los Angeles, a motion pic
ture actress, who was taken ill at
drinking party in Arbuckle's suite
here at hotel on Labor Day, 1921,
and died four days later as the re-
suited of ruptured bladder.
The case was placed upon the cal
endar for next Monday to be set
for it's third trial. Both prosecu-
tion and defense announced that
they would favor such trial. So
sure was the defense of it's position
that it had submitted it's case with
out final argument. This had an ef-
feet opposite from the one intended
according to Nate Friedman, one of
the jurors, in formal statement.
Arbuckle Is Down Cast.
eve thought when the defense de-
clined to argue, it had thrown up its
hands," he said. "The weakness of its
case was apparent from the begin
ming. The first ten ballots stood nine
to three for conviction, and thereafter
until the fourteenth and final ballot, it
was ten to two"
Arbuckle appeared to be somewhat
downcast by the verdict Members of
his family were visibly perturbed that
it was some moments before they
greeted him or his attorneys after
the result was known.
"In this life you've got to take a
punch now and them" Arbuckle said
commenting upon the outcome of his
second trial. II am ready to- go on
trial again. feel sure that l shall
be able to prove my innocence of this
charge at another trial"
"It's just fate" Mr.. Arbuckle ex-
planned. "Since last Saturday I had
a premonition that things were 60
ing against u.s."
