pulled Miss Huppc Into nn adjoining
room.
"I've waited for you fie years, and
now I've got you." Arbuckle declared,
Mrs. Delmont said, adding that he lock

Not being well actpininted with Miss

screaming she became nlarmed She
pounded on the door and kicked, but
got no reply, she sold. Finally, after
more than half an hour, she kicked on
the door and telephoned to the hotel
office, asking for assistance. Assistnnt
Mannger H. J. Hoylo went up, and as
lie appeared Arbuckle opened the door,
he said, nnd came out. dressed in pa-
iaraas. He was wearing MM Ilnppe'a

and assumed nls "foolish ucreen smile.'

tended her, but Mrs. Delmont wanted n
nhvHlelnn alie knew, and cniied Dr. W.
E. Kumwell. He treated Miss Happe
until Wednesday, and then took her to
a hospital, where she died rrlday.
Dr. Hnmwell told of attcndluc Miss
Bappe. He said be knew she died of
peritonitis, but was curious nbout the
cause. He and another doctor made a
post-mortem This was dono without
official authority, but Dr. Humwell ex
cused what has been criticized as ex
ceeding his nuthorlty on the ground
that the girl's friends asked him to
make the examination, which he con
sidered justified his action.
Humwell said ho found a rupture of
an Important organ, resulting In peri
tonitis. The testimony fits In with that of
nurses who attended Miss Hnppe nnd
made aworn statements that she chnrged
Arbuckle with causing her injuries, the
District Attorney said.

murder charge In California in such

Girl Praisod by Woman Who
Promised Dying Mother
to Caro for Her
HAD FEW MEN FRIENDS
Los Angoles. Sept. 13. The woman
who twelve years ago promised the dy
ing mother of Virginia Hnppe to take
care of the girl whose death hns caused I
a murder charge against Hoscoe Ar
buckle, told today of the high character
of the motion-picture nctrcss. This
woman Is Mrs. Joseph Uurdebcck, com
panion to Miss Happe.
Twelve years ago, in Chicago, she
pledged her word thnt If she could af
ford protection, no harm would ever
come to Virginia. She has zealously
since tried to make good that guar
dianship over the girl who hnd lost both
parents. Said Mrs. Hardebeck in her
cottage here as she dabbed at her eyes
with a handkerchief:
"On her dentbbed Virginia's mother
asked me to wntcli out for the girl. 1
hnd known the family for a long, long
time. I had known Virginia since she
wns a tot.
"Sweet. Kindly Girl"
' I promised her mother I would do
my best to tnke care of Virginia. The
girl came to I.os Angeles n few jenrs
ago and. In keeping with ray vow, I
moved to Los Angeles with m husband
a year ngo.
"Virginia was a sweet, kindly girl--as
nice a girl as could bo found. She
hud few men friends nnd she wasn't In
tlmate with ninny girls.
"I think her closest friends were
Helen Hansen and Mr. Scmnneher,
manager of tho company. When she
did go out with a girl it wns with Miss
Hansen.
"For the Inst few months Virginia
stael home nlmost constantly. Her
chief delight was In tramping over the
hills around Hollywood with her dog.
I don't think she went out with other
people more than two or three tltne.. in
the Inst six weeks."
At this point the interricwer re
minded Mrs. Hardebeck of a rumor
that her protege recently underwent
n serious operation. Forgetting her
sorrow for a moment In her indigna
tion. .Mrs Hardebeck replied sharply:
"It didn't amount to anything.
About two months ago she had an
abscess on the leg. I nursed her tb
few days she was in bed. We had
a doctor In twice. Any report that
she was seriously ill lor underwent
any operation, legal or otherwise, dur
ing the Inst year, is a He."
Tells of Fntnl Journey
Resuming her story of Miss nappe's
character, Mrs. Hardebeck could not
restrain her bitterness as she said :
"She knew Arbuckle . But she knew
him just ns she knew all the other
boys and girls nt the motion-picture
colony. So far as I know he was never
in her house nnd she was never in his.
"As to her trip to San Francisco
which ended in her death, Virginia, Mr.
Scmnneher, Mrs. B. M. Delmont nnd
Mr. Semnnchcr's son were to go on n
little outing to Fresno, where Mrs. Del
mont, Vlrglnln told me, has a home.
They left Saturday morning, We hnd
fixed up.n lot of sandwiches and lunch,
with coffee and vncuum bottles.
"Vlrglnln, for some reason or other,
fool; an unusually large supply of cloth
ing, n whole suitcase full. It Included
a white silk walt and n pair of white
silk bloomers (the police have found
these Items of apparel, torn to shreds).
"The party planned to drive to
Fresno, eating from the hampers on
the way They were to stay at Mrs.
Delmont's place In Fresno over Sun
day and Labor Day and then come
back.
Did Not Feel Alarmed
"I had no idea they wcrp going on to
San Frnncisco until Monday, when 1
got a card from Virginia, dated Sun
day, saying she wns hnving n lovely
time and that they would drive on to
San Francisco from Fresno that dav.
"Nvcr having tried to curb Virginia
and always trying to make things com
fortable for her, I didn't feel nlarmed
nnd didn't think It so very unusual thnt
she hnd decided to so to San Francisco.
"I heard nothing more until Wednes
day morning Mrs. Delmont then tele
phoned me that Virginia had been laken
ill. I got in touch with Mr. Scmnarher
nt once. He laughed and joked nbout it.
He sold It wasn't anj thing serious.
"I asked particularly whether Vir
ginia had been drinkfng. She was not
much of a girl to drink. She couldn't
stand it. I had seen Virginia become ill
after taking one drink, but she was
i.lvn all right the next morning.
"Mr Scmnneher laughed nbout that,
too.-ind snld she had tnken two drinks."
"Thnt alarmed me. I was oulte nerv.
cus about those two drinks. Some time
next dnj or Friday Mrs. Dclmont sent
me n telegram. It said Virginia was
in n verj serious ;ondltion. Hut it was
too late to get a ttnin to San Frnncisco,
And then "
Mrs Hardebeck choked, but with an
effort composed herself :
"And then that night Scmnneher
ame oMr to m house. His face was
drive Something terrible had hap
pencil And I knew before he spoke
that my darling Virginia bud died."

WIFE OF ARBUCKLE
DROPS SEPARATION
norlng Compact, She Pro-
pares to Cross Continent in
' Defense of Husband
SAYS DUTY IS BY HIS SIDE
Now York, Sept. 18. "Koscoe Ar
bucklo Is.innocent in this tcrriblo nf
fair nnd I nm going to California to be
near him until he Is cleared what 'else
should a wife do, when her husband Is
In deep trouble?"
Mrs. Mlnta Durfeo Arbuckle, who
is senarated bv aerccment from tho
comedlari gfimscd of murder, paused In
packing her trunks last night long
enough to moke her position In the
case absolutely plain. Grief shone
(from her eyes as she spoke, but there
wns Indomltablp courage, too, and
her words carried the conviction of
clearest confidence in her husband.
When reminded that, less than n
year ngo, she had signed a contract
with Arbuckle under the terms of which
both were free to live as they, choose,
the wife brushed nil that nsldo with a
ware of her hand nnd said:
"We nr still married. There never
Lwns a court action for divorce or even
separation. It was not thought of by
cither of us. Whatever differences we
may have had in the pnst are quits for
gotten now. nnd this is no time to
bring them up ngnin.
"I nm sure that nil this is a frlgh'
ful error nnd thnt ray husband is an
Innocent victim. He is not nnd nccr
wnn Hitch n man as is described in
these charges. Others may think what
they will but I Know."
-listening to xurs. Arouc.ie 3 de
fense of the nccused screen star, the
thought came to all who beard .t that
out ol the murder case may develop
a reconciliation between tho clomcdlnn
nnd his wjfe. Mrs. Arbucklo is. in
tho country nnd will leave for San
Francisco without coming to this city.
Even before she spoke, Mrs. Ar
buckle sent n telegram to the come
dian expressing deepest sympathy,
assuring him complete belief in his
innocence and nddlng that she was
starting West to him nt once.
This message was sent when the
news of the comedian's arrest was car
ried to his wife. She had beard none
of the details of the gay party which
developed into tragedy so suddenly.
She forgot the causes of their es
trangement, and, as she said, forgot
even that they were separated.
The formnl contract signed In the
presence of lawyers, with nil the safe
guards that could be imposed on it
outside of court, became of less value
than so much waste pnper when the
wife learned of her lniBbnnd's plight.
Mrs. Arbuckle shook her bead at all
questions concerning the persons
present nt the banquet that preceded
the death of the girl, nor would she
discuss that phase of it in any form.
Neither would she go Into the differ
ences that led to her separation from
the comedian at the height of his career.
She simply said :
"He is in great trouble. He must
need me. I am going to him. That Is
nil."
Mintn Durfcc was a motion-picture
star until she separated from her hus
band, receiving n large annual allow
ance from him. They had played before
the camera and In vaudeville together.
In the days when he wns earning $3
n day and she was helping out with the
undeveloped talent she then possessed,
the Arbucklcs were considered ideally
happy among their associates.
Discord came with prosperity, but
now, it is hinted, they may be re
united by the very danger that con
fronts him.
