Arbuckle to Face Murder Charge in Miss Rappe Case
Los Angeles prosecutor District Attorney Brady announces Roscoe Arbuckle will be tried for murder over the death of Miss Virginia Rappe after the Labor Day party in his San Francisco hotel. A preliminary hearing is expected next Thursday. The defense is surprised by the move as bail in murder cases is not allowed in California. The board of supervisors pledges funds for Brady's trial expenses, while Miss Delmont views Miss Rappe's body amid reports of a partial collapse. The federal grand jury will review liquor aspects of the party, with up to forty quarts consumed, and Arbuckle’s $25,000 custom car may face confiscation if liquor was brought in from Los Angeles.
