DEFENSE ALLEGES A FRAMEUP Vigorous Attempt To Discredit States Witnesses Is Made fBl M,KTIN. BY ELLIS II. MARTIN rSTFF CORRESPONDENT I N. SR;ICE:i VN FRANCISCO, ept. Z.. iM1 PtnI-Pron, one of the ntnte'x three utar nltnfc ignint Hosooe Fatty" Arbm-Wlo, took, the stand at
the opening of the flfth day of the preliminary hearlnjc of the film oomcdtan on a charge of having murdered Ix-nutlful Virginia Knppe. Opening of the hearing todny delayed an hour to permit iiSpol of other police court cases. BT ELL-IS H. MARTI N STAFF CORRESPONDENT !. N. SERVICE SAN FRANCISCO, S"pt. 27. Kosc.ce Arbuckle, falstaff of th? movies. toda was to face the three w.iraen on whom he state rellee to hold him for the al ieged murd-r of Virginia Rappe, film actress, who died after attending Arbuckle's gay labor day party. Bamblna Maude Delmont, who swore to the complaint on which the preliminary hearing is now being had. Miss Alice Blake and Miss Zen Prevon were scheduled to appear on the stand in the order named. PLANS ARE BARED. Coincident with the opening of the fifth day of the hearing the plans of the defense by which they expect to acquit the fat fun maker of the screen were bared. These plans apparent!; contemplate a three-folJ attack, on the state's case: 1. The. charges against Arbuckle are the result of a "frame-up." 2. Mies Rappe died either from natural causes or as a result of medical treatment accorded her. 3. Vigorous attempt Is to be made to discredit the state's witness's, particularly Al Semnacher and Mrs. Delmont . DEFENSE SHOWS STRATEGY. The defense strategy was showr during yesterday's examination oi witnesses. An attempt was made to lay the basis for the "death from natural cause" theory during the testimony of Dr. Arthur Beardslee, who was the first physician to treat Misi Miss Rappe. declared she- was suffering from an internal injury, prooably induced by external violence. The "frame up" charge came just before adjournment while Al Semnacher occupied the stand. Frank Dominguez. chief counsel for Arbuckle. made the charge in an attempt to establish a basis for a line or questioning of the witness objected to by the state. The questions were ruled cut by Judge Lazarus. BEFORE GRAD J CRY AGAIN. The full machinery of the grand jury was offered to Dominguez for the investigation of his charges. Semnacher went before the grand jury last right and made denial that he had any connection or knowledge of such a conspiracy a3 alleged by Dominguez. The defense attorney had named Semnacher, Mrs. Delmont and a third party. Dominguez failed to appear before the grand Jury last night to press his charges and he was not subpoenaed . Just previously Domlnguc had made a bitter attack on the character nf Mrs. Delmont. It 13 believed she faces an even more severe cross-examination today than th? grilling according Semnacher and Dr. Beardslee by Dominguez yesterday. It is also possible DomingiKz will make publicfurther details of his "frame up" c harge . Court was to convene at 10:30 today but a heavy continued list of Judge Lazarus' trial list made It improbable that the Arbuckle hearing would get underway until a half hour later.
