AGAINST FATTY —M'NAB "Prove These XJharges and I’ll Resign,” Shouts District At torney—“I’ll Prove ’em,” Declares Roscoe’s Lawyer. BY CHANDLER SPRAGUE, San Francisco, Nov. 15.—The case of the people of California vs. Ros coe Arbuckle has started in a blaze of fireworks. Marked by bitter clashes between counsel, the first day's proceedings of the trial of the famous film star for the killing of V!rglnfa»Rappe, cul mlnuated late in the afternoon in a heated tilt during which District At torney Matthew Brady offered to re sign if certain charges made by Ar buckle’s counsel could be proven. McNab Says He’ll Prove It. Gavin McNab, chief counsel for the defendant, In questioning a prospec tive juror had intimated certain wit nesses had bcen^to the District at torney’s office and forced to sign statements against Arbuckle under thveat of arrest. Questioned by Judge I-ouderback as to whether he would be able to back up these statements, ho said: X K1VC j UU IUJ nuiu v/». iiviiva that I intend to prove my state ments before this court and that I will buing' seven witnesses to substantiate what I have said.” “Prove 'Em and I'll Reaign.” Whereupon Mr. Brady rose and angrily replied: "If you can prove that asser tion I will hand in my resigna tion to tho mayor of San Fran cisco” If tho first day’s results are an augury, the selection of the Jury will require at least four days. At ad journment Monday night but five Jur ors had been passed, four men and a woman, and those were passed only temporarily. Neither side has exer cised any of its challenges. Arbuckle Enters With Wife. Arbuckle entered the court room at 10 o’clock with his wife, Minta Dur fee, her mother, Mrs. Flora Durfee. and his brother, Alfred Arbuckle. The film star wore a serious mien and appeared to have wasted away under the strain of waiting for trial. Mr. McNab, presenting the attor neys of record for the accused, named himself, Charles Brennan, Joseph Mc Inery and Nat*Schmulowitz, of San Francisco, and Milton Cohen, of Los Angeles. Mr. Brady presented him self, Milton U’Ren and Leo Fried man for the prosecution. A galaxy of newspaper scribes watched the proceedings wl lie the remaining seats were occupied by prospective Jurors and by members of the women’s vigilance committee, appointed by the club women of San Francisco to “see, that Justice is done.” Sketch of Leading Attorneys. To properly complete for you the setting of the court room wherein is being staged this remarkable trial, a sketch of the leading attorneys is cssentiul. The battle for Arbuckle’s liberty and rehabilitation will bo fought out by three men, Gavin Mc Nab for the defense, and Matthew Brady and Milton U'Ren, district at torney and deputy district attorney of San Francisco. McNab is the most dramatic fig ure of the three. Victor in many a bitter court battle and enshrouded with a reputation for shrewdness on the coast, he is worthy the steel of any district attorney. The chief defense counsel fairly ex udes respectability. Tall, imposing, using ponderous gestures, and clothed in black, Mr. McNab might bo a ves tryman In a fashionable church. Hta hands move slowly—but not Ills brain. Brady Big and Forceful. Brady is a big man, too, but with a different sort of bigness. Forcefulnoss is written on every line of his well cov ered frame and in moments of ac tion his flushed face and white hair make him a conspicuous figure. F Ren is a typical prosecutor. Quick witted, keen in repartee and unrelent ing In giving home a point he is an adversary to be feared. Insistence in a quiet but determined manner, is his keynote. The characteristics of these men were brought out Monday in no un certain terms during the examination of their first talesman. On their face the questions asked this man, J. G Medley, were innocuous. But thej had a considerable significance. McNab’s endeavor, throughout the entire questioning of Medley, was to get before his audience certain facts which he wanted instilled in their minds. Remember, if you please, that the room was crowded with prospec tive jurors. U Hen into tne i lit. "If you were shown that the dis trict attorney's office had sequestrat ed certain witnesses and had con. cealed them in the house of a member of the district attorney’s staff and refused to allow the defense to inter \ h>w them except within the hearing of the district attorney, you Would not be inclined to give those witnesses more .credence than any other wit nesses, would you?" asked McNab in genuously. ‘We object," said Mr. U'Ren. “We had a right to take care of our wit nesses." And in the use of the word “our" his foot slipped.
