SPEEDY RETRIAL
Discouraged Because Major-
ity Was Against Him.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.—(By U.
P.)—The casting director got busy
today preparing for the third term of
the Rappe-Arbuckle drama.
With the issuance of official state-
ments from the defense and the
prosecution following disagreement
of the Jury in the second trial, it was
assured ihat "Fatty" Arbuckle must
be tried once again on a charge of
having taken the life of Virginia
Rappe.
That assured, the principals lost
no time in making ready.
"We want to go to trial again
Monday, if it can be arranged," the
Arbuckle camp announced.
It was plain that "Fatty" was dis-
couraged. He realized that this time
the majority was against him, that
he had gone down to defeat.
The defense is thoroughly fi-
nanced. What Arbuckle doesn't have
in his own bank account is made up
for by the contributions o« men who
have investments in the $2,000,000
worth of Arbuckle comedies, now orf
the market and destined so to re-
fhain until Arbuckle a record is
cleared.
Just what the cost has been thus
far, no one knows. But most people
say around half a million dollars.
