SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 21. Efforts
or the prosecution to have Miss Zey

leading witnesses, declared ''hostile to
Its cause." were balked temporarily
ey the court today in the second trial
of a charge of manslaughter against
Koscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle. in con
nection with the death of Miss Vir
ginia Ra,ppe,, motion picture actress.
The court said it would allow authori
ties on the point other than the ones
quoted today.
In her testimony .yesterday Miss
Prevost stated that she "did not re
member" Miss Rappe saying "he hurt
me, on the occasion of the party in
Arbuckle's rooms in the hotel St.
Francis at which,, according to the
prosecution, he fatally injured the ac
tress. At the first trial Miss Prevost
made the positive statement that Miss
liappe said "he hurt me."
An attempt was made by the prose

statement by Mis Prevost In which
she said that Miss Happe exclaimed
"he killed me." This statement was
Also included In the court's ruling.
Miss Pfevost testified that she was
Virtually coerced by the district at
torney Into making bath statements,
and she repudiated them. The prose-cut!-
n put Walter E. Trefts, secretary
to the district attorney and an expert
stenographer, on the stand ta testify
that she made the statements of het
own free will, voluntarily changing,
however, the exclamation "he killed
me" to "he hurt me." His testimony
was not allowed today.
E. O. Helnrlch, fingerprint expert,
was called to Identify certain finger
prints found on a .door of Arbuckle's
room in the hotel, and said by the
prosecution to be those of Arbuckle
and Miss Rappe. He was on the stand
at final adjournment.

Declares interests of Pub

BAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 2t. (Spe
cial.) Friend V. Richardson, presi
dent of the California Press associa
tion, appeared before the state rail
road commission today and on behalf
of the publishers protested against the
proposed raise in press rates askedby
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany. Richardson was represented by
Attorney George D. Squires and of
fered five points against granting the
rise. These were:
That the distribution of news was
In the interests of the public.
That the Western Union is now
earning enough to pay liberal divi
dends. That, although the amount involved
is small, the principle at stake is
large.
That commodities .are tending
toward a lower level rather than a
higher one.
That the Postal Telegraph company,
although carrying commercial mes
sages at a 20 per cent lower rate
than the Western Union, Is not asking
for a rise Ingress rates.
Attorney Biverly liodghead, repre
senting the Western Union, said the
Westorn Union made no profit on
press messages and did not want the
business.
