THE ARBUCKLE CASE.
POINT FOR THE DEFENCE. ATTORNEY’S POINTED REMARK. By Telegraph.—Pres l ? Assn.—Copyright. Received Dec. 2, 8.45 p.m. San Francisco, Dec. 1. The defence scored a victory when the city medical board, which examined Miss Rappe's vital organs, reported that she suffered from inflammation of the bladder'before death. District Attorney Brady, commenting on the case, said: “Prisons were built for poor men, and- if Arbuckle was ooor undoubtedly he would go to prison. Every move we made we found ourselves against a wall; it has taken the •heart out of me.” The prosecution, summing up the case made a strong attack on Arbuckle, asking why he waited so long before telling what happened. The prosecution declared he had carefully studied how to fabricate a story to meet the known facte in connection with Miss Rappe’s injury at the party. A DOCTOR’S EVIDENCE. London, Dec. 1. Dr. Rigdon gave an expert opinion at the Arbuckle trial that an injury like Miss Rappe’s might be caused by vomiting, coughing or sneezing. Witness reluctantly admitted that, while he had not heard of such cases, similar internal injury could be caused by the sudden placing of a person in cold water.
