Bewae (Tatty) Arbuckle te be "wholly

twucd n statement contending tl.nt the
mm was accorded unusual treatment.
The Btntenunt was Riven out after
Arb Ule vas released en SnjMKi ball.
Tudie I-nnrus having held the movie
Mr for trial en the charge of miin
k slighter only 1ft connection with tin
llcMh of MI-h Virginia Rnppe.
"If Rosceo Arburkle were unknown
1 and unimportant he would have been
held for murder ami treated preeiselj
tht same ns ether defendants of dis
repute," said the District Attorney.
Charges Felonious Attack
Bradr tlien cited the law ns denning
deaths 'ensuing from felonious net as
murder nnd these resulting from mis mis
demeaners te be manslaughter, and
centinued: .
"Ridge Lnzarus took the view Hint
the killing of Virginia Rnppe may linvc
resulted from a wholly Innocent, and
trivial net, nnd sold the defendant mny
have slapped her ami been guilty of
nothing mere thnn n simple battery. It
is true that the defendnnt did commit
.in art of battery upon Virginia Rnppe.
N'but the testimony shows he did n grcnt
ileal mere nnd thnt these nets were en
tireiv felonious in their nature.
"In holding the defendnnt te nnswer
tipen the chnrge of manslaughter Judge
Lazarus admits thnt the evidence
showed that the defendant wns crim
inally responsible for the death of ir
glnin ltnppe. . .
"If the defendnnt was criminally re re
inensible for her death he should hnvn
been tried for murder and net for man
slaughter. It is entirely immaterial
that he did net intend te kill her.
"In se fnr ns the ninnunt of proof is
(encerned. the lnw makes no distinc
tion between 'Important' cues nnd
'trivial' cases. Neither does the law
in its treatment of men make any dis
tinction between 'Important' defendants
nnd 'trivial' defendants."
Te Speed Up Trial
If the. present plans of District At
torney llrndy materialize, Arbuckle will
be tried for manslaughter within a few
ilnys. The maximum penalty for man
slaughter in California is ten years' im im
lirisenment in the State Penitentiary
or less If the jury se recommends.
Twe manslaughter chnrges are pend
ing ngalnst Arbuckle. The first one was
returned recently by a county Grand
Jury .which Investigated Arbuckle's ho
tel party, nt which the State contends
the film actress received Injuries which
caused her death.
Arbuckle regained his freedom shortly
after the preliminary hearing ended. He
already had en deposit SeOOO bail in
connection with the indictment, and
this was transferred te cover the pro
ceedings arising from Mrs. Rnmhinu
Delnient'H complaint which were heard
before the police judge. On the (irnnd
Jury accusation he was placed "en his
own recognizance" te return October 3.
Would Keen Exidence Secret
That date had been set several clays
Age, but Brady announced today that
it lie cnuld he would utilize it te
bring Arbuckle te trial en the Dehnent
complaint ns modified yesterday by
.Tuilire I.nzarus.
Whether lie would be able te hnvc
Arbuckle appear te answer te one com
plaint and then try him en another en
the same date he. was net sure, he said,
but declared lie would try. since both
complaints charge the some offense,
arising from the same circumstances.
Brady V reason for this nttempt. lie
tinted, w.is thut he wished te avoid
furnishing the defense attorneys with
n transcript of the evidence before the
Grand Jury.
In tanking his decision modify the
