"Mv point is this: It doen't seem
posatble if Arhuckle had committed
the terrible crime with which he is
now charred that the partv would
have continued thus and that
same people who are now testifying
against him should have remained In
It.
"During the entire time I was prei

anybody to indicate that there hud
been any trouble of any kind, except
two statements from Arhuckle him
self Once he explained that he had
sent Virginia out of the party I acauve
she had become too wild and noisy
and later, at dinner he said to Rem

out of here. I do not want to be

San Francisco, Nov. 15, Gavin M
Nab. chief special counsel for Roscoe
C (Fatty) Arhuckle. declared thb
morning that aside from his knowl
edge that Betty Campbell had been
one of those at the Arhuckle party oil
St pt. 9, he did not know w hat site
hu of the affair out. of which grew
the death of Virginia Itappe.
Mr. McNab said .Miss Campbell was
oqo of the missing witnesses and thai
she hud disappeared from this city.
Twelve venire members examine'
and five jurors accepted tentatively,
tjne of them a woman, was the sitUB
tlon at the opening of the second day
of the trial of Roscoe C. (Fatty) Ar
buckle here today on a manslaughter
charge.
Arhuckle went on trial yesterday on
charges connected with the death of
Miss Virginia Rappe, film actress,
whose death followed a party in Ar
btickle's room at a hotel here last
September.
The five Jurors seated so far, how
ever, are still subject to peremptory
challenge.
fcJxhatistlve interrogation the venire
men are being subjected to indicates
t,. tnr" probably will not be
completed before Thursday.
The first day's session was devoid
of interest except for verbal tilts be
tween opposing counsel. The only in
cident bordering on the sensational
was an intimation In court by Gavin
McNab, chief of counsel for the de
fense, that District Attorney Mathew
Brady had threatened to send to jail
some witnesses if they refused to
make certain statements. Mr. McNab
added that he would produce seven
witnesses to prove his assertion.
"if you do," Mr. Brady rotorted, "1
will resign."
Perceptibly downcast, the film co
median sat intense while lawyers

A meeting of the Child Welfare or

afternoon at 3 o'clock at the super

Much Inters l bai been taken in ti"
action proposed hy the Buslnes
Mens Association and Chamber 01
t ommerce to render assistance to the
Cit officials in preparing the neccs
iary papers to vacate certain unin
habited sMtloiis of the city in order
to relieve tip- people from Hie expen
of maintalnlni brldgei and from pay
ing Certain sections, also for the pur
pose of .securing state aid and the
routing of traffic through the business
section.
The state highway department has
practically decided that the federal
aid road shall be routed Into Ottawa
on tile Fast Side, and while tills plan
Is not altogether undesirable, yet the
business people believe that 11 it cun
ba arranged to bring the road In over
Superior street the advantage already
pointed out will be worth their effort
and In addition to thut the Beat Side
pavement is not considered strong
i nougli for the heavy trafile that It
will naturally receive if the road la
opened through that section.
The chairman ol the road division
lias taken ibi.-, matter up with Frank
T, Sheets, superintendent of high
ways, with the result that the follow
log letter has Just been received from
Springfield.
I note your letter of Nov. 5, in
which you advise that jour men pre
fer to wait until I should happen to be
In Ottawa on business to discuss th'3
location of our federal aid road as it
enters Ottawa from the east. I will
bi wry glad to abide by your wish in
this matter.
I will advise you frankly, however,
that on account of certain plans which
we have for a grade separation
with the Rock Island railroad east of
Ottawa for a crossing at the canal, we
much prefer to enter Ottawa follow
ing the diagonal location to the city
limits and then coming in over the
paved streets of the, city, crossing the
i'ox river over the proposed new
bridge just eaat of the public square.
We It e this WllPbe a much more sat
Isfactory proposition to this depart
meat and to the traveling public than
the other.
"Frankly, 1 would say that we would
have to be convinced that the other
proposition would be a better one lie
tore we would feel like adopting it. 1
believe thut if your citizens were fully
conversant with our plans for solving
the rather difficult situation at tho
canal and the railroad crossing east
of the city you would be entirely in
harmony with the entrance we have
proposed.
"Very truly yours,
"FRANK T. SHEETS."
