ARBUCKLE TRIAL.
AtJSTBALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. FINGER-PRINTS PRODUCED. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 23. After the prosecution liad rested, tlie ease for the defence Introduced some of its strongest testimony. Tile doors of the hotel room wherein it is alleged Arbuckle took Miss Virginia Rappe, were displayed in tlie Court. Finer-print experts and criminologists testified that the door knob show* ed the imprints of Miss Rappe’s fingers, overlaid by the fingers of liuekle.Mr NeNnb (for Arbuckle) told tlie jury that the room was open all the time, with tlio window shades up, tlie interior - being in full view of other hotel patrons. Arbuckle when listening to this testimony, appeared jovial all day. Airs Arbuckle, however, wept occasionally. Tlie State introduced as a witness a_ hotel chambermaid, who testified that she had carefully rubhed the door of the knob previously to the making of tlie finger prints. The State thus hopes to negate the defence’s contention that Afiss Rappe willingly entered the room, since she had her hand on the knob.
