MS EVIDENCE IV
— ciNirFini!’;
-Heinrich Intimates ‘Yes’ After
Examining Suite but Doctor
Pound No Injury—Minta
Wants Women on Jury.
—-e- ' San Francisco. Sept. 20.—Prof.
E. O. Heinrich, criminologist of
the University of California, who
at the request of District Attorney
Orady, made an examination Fri
day and Saturday of the suite oc
cupied by Arbuckle at the St.
Francis hotel, said Tuesday that
tie had found enough to make him
feel that Arbuckle should not be
exonerated. Heinrich did not
examine the garments of Virginia
Rappe, but said he would later.
Following orders from Brady,
Heinrich refuted to divulge t(ie
nature of his findings, but inti
mated that he had found evidence
«f positive value in the room and
that he had taken it to his Ber
keley laboratory to work upon.
San Francisco, Sept. 20. — Search
for a new woman witness, Edna C.
<3rant, a nurse who attended Virginia
Rappe, Monday became the outstand
ing development in the case of Roscoe
"Fatty" Arbuckle, accused of mur
dering the attractive picture actress.
Information that the prosecution
and defense alike attach the greatest
degree of importance to Information
Miss Grant is believed to hold in re
gard to the medical treatment of the
unfortunate girl, came as no small
surprise in view of the previously re
iterated statement that all important
witnesses have been found and ques
tioned.
Why Did 8he Quit?
Miss Grant, It Is known, attended
Virginia Rappe for a time at the out
set, then quit the case abruptly.
The authorities want to know why.
So does the defense.
While rumors and whisperings
are seldom worth the repeating,
it is perhaps desirable in this re
gard to record the rumor that has
been persistent of late to the ef
fect that Virginia Rappe’s death
was due, not to Arbuckle's actions
directly, but to a fault in the med
ical treatment of the case.
Dr. Arthur Beardslee, house physi
cian 'of the St. Francis hotel, Monday
was hurrying from remote Mono
county <to San Francisco to answ’er
eiuestions which the district attor
ey’s office is burning to ask.
These questions bear upon the med
ical care accorded to the suffering
girl.
District Attorney Brady will ask
for a full investigation of the reported
remark of one woman witness:
Bribery is Insinuation.
“There’s going to be money in this
case, and I am going- to get soma
of it."
, _ Dr. Beardslee, when found in
Bridgeport, on his hunting trip,
told the county sheriff:
“I know little of the case. The
girl appeared to be suffering from
#bo much high life. I found no
trace of injury in treating her.”
The entire trial may hinge up
on the point whether Miss Rappe's
internal rupture was caused by
the Arbuckle incident, by natural
causes complicated by disease
and intoxication or by medical
error.
Tuesday night the federal grand
Jury meets to hear Investigator
Robert II. McCormack’s evidence of
what he alleges to be a state-wide
liquor conspiracy.
Arbuckle's attorneys issued a state
ment which they secured from Mrs. .
Jtoseoe Arbuckle in her own writ
ing, pleading for fairness to her hus
band.
Monday, finally, Captain of Detec
tives Duncan E. Matheson issued or
ders that the meeting between "Fat
ty” and his wife should not take
place until after Mrs. Arbuckle had
been thoroughly questioned.
Mints Pleads for Fairness.
Mrs. Arbuckle appeared to be un
der a considerable strain. All the
way across the continent, according
to passengers, Mrs. Aldora Durfee,
stated her daughter was ill.
Her plea for fairness to Arbuckle,
contained a desire that women serve
on the jury.

DE VALERA READY
li TALK KEEPING
ERINJNEMPIRE!
To Withdraw Independence j
Demand if Ireland Is Granted '
Full Dominion Status, Hint
To Lloyd George.
BY ROBERT J. PREW,
London, Sept. 19.—Continu
ing his rapid exchange of tele
grams with Lloyd George, De
Valera Monday night declared
the readiness of the Sinn Fein to
enter into an unconditional con
ference.
This confirms Universal Serv
ice’s exclusive disclosure that the
Dail is prepared to authorize its
delegates to go to the parley
without insisting upon the pre
liminary recognition of Irish
sovereignty.
Monday night’s message is an
intimation to Lloyd George, that
ha on his part is expected not to
insist upon Ireland's retention
within the empire as a condition
to the conference.
Monday night’s telegram from
the Irish leader is by far the most
important of the latest series in
asmuch as it represents a real
advance towards peace on the
part of the Irish leaders, who now
expect Lloyd George to display
an equally conciliatory spirit.
All the president of Ireland asks
is that Ireland’s present claims to
independence shall stand unpre
judiced unless the conference re
sults in the offer and acceptance
of full dominion status.
BY DENNIS O’CONNELL,
Dublin, Sept. 20.—The Sinn Fein
cabinet Monday night sent the fol
lowing message to Premier Lloyd
George at Gareloch, Scotland:
We have not thought at any time of
asking you to accept any conditions
which would establish a precedent be
fore the conference. We would have
thought it as unreasonable to expect you
as a preliminary to recognize the Irish
republic formally or Informally as that
you should expect us formally or In
formally to surrender our national po
sition.
Gives Cause of Dispute.
It is precisely because neither side ac
cepts the position of the other that there
Is a dispute at all. A treaty of accom
modation and association properly con
ducted between the peoples of these two
islands and between Ireland and the
group of states In the British common
wealth would, we believe, forever en
able the two nations to settle down in
peace, each pursuing Individual devel
opment and contributing Its own civili
zation, working together In free and
frlendl}' co-operation and agreeing in
common affairs.
To negotiate Eucn a treaty the re
spective representatives of the two na
tions must meet. If you seek to Im
pose preliminary conditions which we
regard as Involving surrender of our
whole position, we cannot meet. Your
last telegram makes clear that the mis
understanding Is likely to Increase, not
diminish.
Tired of Correspondence.
The cause of peace Is more likely to
be retarded than advanced by the pres
ent correspondence. We request you
therefore to state whether your letter
of September 7 Is intended as a demand
for surrender on our part or an Invita
tion to a conference free on both sides
and without prejudice should an agree
ment net be reached.
If you mean the latter, we readily con
firm cur acceptance of the Invitation
and our appointed representatives will
meet y.ur government’s representatives
at any time In the future you designate.
(Signed) Eamonn De Valera,
De Valera Is Crafty.
De Valera's message Is considered
from ail standpoints a masterpiece.
With one stroke he throws the re
sponsibility of any failure to meet In
conference upon the British premier.
He shows a willingness right off to
join the conference, but there Is
nothing in the letter which shows he
would refuse to join the British com
monwealth.
(jn the contrary, there Is a direct
hint in all three of his last communi
cations that there can be rapprooh
ment between Ireland and the British
empire.
No Discussion After Reading.
The letter Is in contrast to the
assumption that the Dali Eireann Is
weakening on Its being recognized as
a sovereign state.
De Valera entered the Majislon
House Monday with the letter and
immediately addressed his cabinet,
saying:
‘‘Gentlemen, do you agree to this?”
He then proceeded to read them his
letter. There was no discussion and
the meeting lasted a bare half hour.

Have you had the experience after going to
considerable expense to paint your walls, on
the theory that they would be washable the
same as your woodwork, of finding that after
washing them they were grimy, streaked and
unsatisfactory? Have you hesitated at the
expense of again repainting them?
If the paint is solid on the wall and not
scaling, go over it with a coat of Alabastine
and be pleasantly surprised as to effects pro
duced and saving effected. Alabastine may
even be used over old soiled wallpaper that
is firm on the wall not printed in aniline
dyes or with raised figures.
You Can Always Get Alabastine
There is hardly a town where Alabastine is
not carried in stock by dealers who carry
paints. If you do not find it and are offered
something else claimed to be just as good,
write us and we will tell you how to easily
secure Alabastine.
