Arbuck|e Sentenced
To 4 10 Is Months
For Embezz|ement
FinoI Pleas of Former
Senate Cote Manager
Denied by Court

William Withers Arbuckle, 48, for
mer manager of the Senate Restau-
rant recently convicted of en-
bezzling, today was sentenced to
prison for from 4 to 18 months.
Justice Bolitha j. Laws allowed
Arbuckle to remain on bond, pend
ing an appeal by his counsel, War
rem E. Magee and Paul Sedgwick, to
the United States Court of Appeals.
In a dramatic District Court con-
clusion to the case, the defendant
and his two attorneys implored the
judge for Justice for an innocent
man."
Il tell you, SIR" said Arbuckle, his
voice choking with emotion, IT am
an innocent man. I am sure you
have read cases like the Dreyfuss
case where innocent people have
been in the same position I am to-
day. I throw myself on the mercy
OF the court, reafirming as I shall
to my dying day that am innocent
of this charge"
Mr.. Magee told Justice Laws that
Arbuckle has never been before any
court on any charge up to the pres
ent case, that the defendant has at
all times declared his innocence to
his attorneys and that Arbuckle is
now engaged in vital war work in
the teaching of mathematics to
members of the armed forces
Mr.. Arbuckle faltered, bit his Ips
and said: up to this time my nerve
has held out" Then he expressed
worry about his family, referred to
his record in the last World War
and said: Il wish to nave a record
in this war, too."
Arbuckle, former District teacher
and high political figure in West
Virginia, was convicted recently by
a District Court jury on evidence
presented by Assistant United States
Attorney John L. Laskey, who now
is associated with the District Office
of Price Administration.
Embezzlement Charged.
According to Mr.. Laskey, Arbuckle
embezzled $1,000 in Senate Restau-
rant funds in the autumn of 1888
when the defendant was the man
ager of the Senate Restaurant.
The case reached a climax when
a key defense witness, Robert. c.
Henderson, testified he saw Arbuckle
turn the restaurant funds in uues-
tion over to E. H. King, Arbuckle S
assistant.
Mr.. Laskey then introduced let
tiers admittedly written by Hender-
son to Arbuckle from Canada at a
time when Henderson had said he
was in the District. Upon refresh
ing his memory, Henderson said his
testimony had been mistaken and
laid this to faulty memory. There
after Justice Laws instituted con-
tempt proceedings against both
Henderson and Arbuckle, but ruled
later that a judge has no power to
punish for contempt by reason Of
false testimony alone.
In various motions, Mr.. Magee
raised numerous objections to the
proceedings, all Of which Justice
Laws recently overruled. The attor-
ney said he will carry the case to the
appellate tribunal on the basis OF
these alleged errors Of the trial court
Judge.
