CHAPLIN TRIAL
GETS UNDERWAY
Comedians Agent Claims
Joan Barry Threatened
Star With Pistol
BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
United Press Hollywood
CORRESPONDENT

HOLLYWOOD, June Sup - Dis
trict Attorney Fred Howser today
tried to learn why no assault
charges ever were issued against
Joan Barry if the red-haired accuser
of Charlie Chaplin really did try to
shoot him with a pistol.
Chaplin's representative, Robert
Arden, said she did; said she burst
into the White-haired COMICS house
and threatened his life with gun.
Miss Barry's lawyer, John Irwin,
said she didn't; said she never had
a gun and never threatened anybody.
HoWser was trying to find the
shooting iron. Arden said he gave 1t
to Beverly Hills police after Chap
Inns butler disarmed Miss Barry last
December. Chief of Police Charles
Anderson said he didn't know where
the gun was.
Miss Barry, who accuses Chaplin
of being the father of her unborn
baby and demands $4,000 plus So, 500
a month for expenses, said that
wasn't all. She said what about the
expensive fur coat she was wearing
when she was arrested on vagrancy
charges?
The chief said she didn't have any
fur coat. He said all she had on was
a mans bathrobe-With nothing UNI
derneath.
Miss Barry was incensed also over
Arden's statement that she told him
she had married an army captain.
She said she didn't marry anybody
She said she did buy wedding ring
and that she did call herself Mrs.
Barry" after her condition became
apparent. A girl can't be condemned
for resorting to that sort of camou-
flage, she added.
Arden, an Austrian refugee whose
real name is Rudolph Kliger, is
radio spieler on international affairs
broadcasting nightly in the interest
Of credit dentist. He faces depor-
tation when the war Is over.
How he became in two years one
of Chaplin's closest friends remains
to be explained. He told the district
attorneys investigators that Chaplin
had paid Miss Barry $75 a week, all
right. for year and half, while
he tried to teach her how to be
movie actress. Arden said the multi
millionaire comedian finally gave it
up as bad job and took her off the
payroll.
Then, he continued, Miss Barry
threatened Chaplin with the gun in
December and tried again to break
into his house New Years Eve.
Chaplin answers Miss Barry's
charges in court June II. Miss Barry
said she'd be on hand with plenty to
say under oath.
