FORTUNE HIDDEN, IS HINT Avalanche of Bills for Lavish Purchases of Finery Makes Big Hole in Estate. The long-predicted legal battle of twenty-six-year-old Mrs. George M. Oyster, jr., for a share of the de- ceased Washington dairyman's es- tate greater than the $25,000 allotted her by a codicil to her husband's will, began yesterday with an attack on the validity of the codicil, written four days before Oyster's death. Practically a Renunciation. With thin move Mrs. Oyster practi- cally renounces the provisions of the will, in favor of her claim for dower rights of one-half the personal estate and one-third of the proceeds from the real estate. Should the caveat filed yesterday be granted, her position will be much as though phe had filed her renunriation.

Mrs. Oyster's attempt to boost the value of her husband's estate before filing the attack upon the codicil ap- peared seriously handicapped yester- day when it was learned that addi- tional bills against the estate had been filed by exclusive shops of Washing. ton where Mr. Oyster had waived his Midas wand for her pleasure. On the heels of the extensive bill for jewelry purchased at the time of the wedding here last January. total- ing nearly 810,000. has come the bill for lingerie and sables purchased at the shop of Julius Glarfinkle a Co. In one day, according to shop's sales accounts. Mrs. Oyster spent nearly $5,000 for the pretty things of a trousseau even greater In loveli- ness than could have been wished by the vainest Cinderella. Eleven beautiful hats, one listed at $235. were included in the pur- chases of that single day of spending.

I FEEL sorry for "Fatty" Arbuckle and do not see how any court in the land could convict the fallen idol for murder or for man- slaughter. He has suffered enough, in my opinion. How can you punish Ar- buckle unless you punish Mrs. Bambina Maude Delmont and the others who were his guests at the St. Francis and who have told their story to District Attorney Brady? I blame booze for the whole thing. Had there been no liquor at that party Virginia Rappe would not have lost her life. But there were in- toxicants and I see by the papers that forty quarts of whiskey and other hard liquor was consumed by "Fatty" and his guests. Now his pictures are barred. And while they are banning his pictures they should quit showing Miss Rappe's. . Without a doubt she went to that party of her own free will and accord. From what I gather from the papers, Miss Rappe also went into the bedroom with "Fatty," not because he forced her to go, for it seems that he did not, but because she wanted to go in there with him. The girl died, but I believe her death was caused by an accident and not by Roscoe Arbuckle.

DEFENSE EXPECTED TO TALK Working on Theory That Girl Was Injured After Leaving Comedian's Rooms. By ELLIS I. MARTIN. Iaternational New. evlc.. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.-- The cases of the people versus "Fatty" Arbuckle, in which thei funmaker of the films stands charged, first with murder and second with manslaughter in con- nection with the death of Virginia Rappe, "beat dressed woman in Ithe movies," tonight had resolved itself into a protracted legal battle. Arbuckle appeared in court with his attorney's today when they asked that hearing of the manslaughter charge be postponed until the mur- der charge has been disposed of. The motion was granted, and the next hearing on the manslaughter charge was set for September 26. Arbtuckle sat at a table with his counsel during the brief moment he was in court. He appeared cheerful and took little in. terest in the formal court nroceedings. Defense Likely to Talk. The melodrama of the early stages of the scandal involving choice de. tails of the gay party two weeks ago, have been told and retold. The silence self-imposed by the defense shows signs of beginning to waver in hints being thrown out as to possible plans of defense. On the other hand, the State, aa represented by District At. torney Brady. has begun to close down. No further testimony is to be made public outside of court. From Los Angeles came the Intima- tion that Arbuckle's attorneys plan to build up a defense on the theory that the death of Virginia Rappe was purely accidental and that a man D other than Arbuckle was the cause. D The State had nothing to my on that prospect. Mrs. Mae Taube. a hitherto miss- ing witness, who attended the fatal he party, today underwent three hours mq and a half of questioning at the hands wi of District Attorney Brady and his ho chief assistant, Isadore Golden. he When it was completed announce- ment was made that her statement at was not to be made public. wk Word came this afternoon that the to missing witness in the Arbuckle case, whose testimony has been character- w4 ized as "indeapensable" by District At- in torney Brady, had been located. * Dr. to Arthur Beardulee, first physician to of attend Miss Rlappe, after she became 3,1 ill in Arbuckle's rooms in the St. wi Francis Hotel, and who departed on a Wl hunting trip the day after attending m her, had left Nevada for Bridgeport, de Cal., Brady was informed. Brady immediately wired the sheriff ly cf Mono county, in which Bridgeport m is located, to ask the physician to re- turn at once. 8; New Theery of Defense. fr LOS ANGELES, Selit. 17.-Start- ling, new evidence, indicating anothera man may have been responmible for the e hrtai Injury inflicted on Virginia g Rlappe, whose death resulted in a charge of murder against Rloscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, film comedian, wasS under investigatiton by the defense E forces today.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Sept. 17.

I FEEL sorry for "Fatty"Arbuckle and do not seehow any court in the

land could convict the fallenidol for murder or for man-

slaughter. He has sufferedenough, in my opinion.How can you punish Ar-

buckle unless you punish Mrs.Bambina Maude Delmont andthe others who were hisguests at the St. Francis andwho have told their story toDistrict Attorney Brady?

I blame booze for the wholething. Had there been no

liquor at that party VirginiaRappe would not have losther life. But there were in-toxicants and I see by thepapers that forty quarts ofwhiskey and other hardliquor was consumed by"Fatty" and his guests.Now his pictures are

barred. And while they are

banning his pictures theyshould quit showing MissRappe's.

. Without a doubt she wentto that party of her own freewill and accord. From whatI gather from the papers,Miss Rappe also went into thebedroom with "Fatty," notbecause he forced her to go,for it seems that he did not,but because she wanted to goin there with him.The girl died, but I believe

her death was caused by anaccident and not by RoscoeArbuckle.
