Advancft Guard from Hollywood Indeed the great McNab had an ad vance guard et Hollywood folk nl ready in the corridors outside. Strict ly speaking, these were net movie peo ple. They were people who have wit nessed movie people's festivals of the sort of festivals that have been hinted at first in the case of Mre. Obenchain and again after Arbuckle's first arrest. McNnb hopes te show the jury that Virginia Rappe was a guest at ether functions such ns Fntty presided ever, at the Hetel St. Francis, en .Laber Day. nnd that the scenes which pre ceded her death had been enacted often before He said as much this morning. Be was prepared, he continued, te call many witnesses te substantiate this as as nertiem The people from Hollywood fringes are seemingly te show the dead Vir ginia up if they can. But it happens that theie sits in Judge Louderback's court n grim-looking little man who does nothing but write notes in a little book and wait until the jury renders a lerdlet in order thnt he may trundle Fallv off te the Federal courts te nnsu'rr a iinrgc of violation of the drj laws.
