THE ARBUCKLE CASE.
DEFENCE OUTLINED. By Telegraph.—Fr*ss Assn.—Copyright. San Francisco, Nov. 23. After the prosecution had rested, the ■case for the defence introduced some of its strongest testimony. The doors of the hotel room wherein it is alleged that. Arbuckle took Miss Rappe, were displayed in court. Finger print experts and criminologists testified that the knob showed the imprint of Miss Rappe’s fingers, overlaid by the fingerprints of Arbuckle. Mr. M’Nab told the jury that the room was open all the time and the window shades up. the interior being in full view of other hotel patrpns. Arbuckle, who was listening to the testimony, appeared jovial all day, but Mrs. Arbuckle wept occasionally. The State introduced a witness, the hotel chambermaid, who testified that she had carefully rubbed the knob previous to the making of the finger-prints, the State thus hoping to negative the contention of the defence that Miss Rappe willingly entered the room since she had her hand on the knob.
