Evidently Mr. Pea Was Not Deeply
Versed in the Gentle Art of
Diplomacy.
Secretary Conrad Jenny of the
Swiss embassy at a dinner was talk
ing about diplomacy.
“A good many diplomats,” he said,
‘‘are about us diplomatic as old Mr.
Peu.
“Air. Pea was a village character
who stuttered. There was a politi
cal meeting In the village one eve
ning, and among the speakers was a
-certain Cue.
“Well, at the end of the meeting
there r/as a kind of a reception, and
•Cue, tire most important orator of
the occasion, was introduced to the
-stuttering old villager.
"Mr. Pea shook the orator's hand
and stuttered:
“ ‘Glad to m-meet you. I,-let’s see,
you were one of the s-spenkers, weren't

“ 'Yes, I was,’ said Cue.
“ ‘W-well, say,’ said old Pea,

Against All Rules.
As every golfer is aware, it Is
against the rules to remove anything
growing on the course.
The other day a player asked:
“What should I do on the putting
green If a worm lay between my ball
and the hole? Am I entitled to lif>
it or brush it aside?”
“Well,” replied ills companion, “1
think you should brush It aside.”
“Yes,” he replied, “you may be right,
but this was a young and growing
worm, you know!”—Houston Post.

"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.
