DESCRIBES BHCI8E8 Dr. Strange - described minutely a number of bruises found on the body. He showed their . location by using his own body as an illustration. The bruises, he declared, were all made be fore death. This brought a fresb clash, defense counsel contending that this could not be accurately determined. The autopsy surgeon held that it could. District Attorney Brady placed strong hope In the new evidence of Al Sem- nacher, manager of Virginia Rappe, the movie actress Arbuckle is accused of fatally Injuring during a "wild party at tils hotel suite on Labor day. Semnacher is said to have made a statement to Los Angeles authorities yesterday in which he admitted Ar- buckle told him ho might have been re sponsible for the injuries which resulted In Virginia Rappe' 8 death. Semnacher said Lowell Sherman, a movie actor, Fred Flschback and Ar buckle's chauffeur all heard the state ment made. Brady said he would make all these men testify against Arbuckle. Sherman is at present in New York. The hearing was expected to give the first real Inkling of the defense of Ar- buckle against the charge of the state. Until today the defense has maintained an Impenetrable silence, but with the cross-examination of the witnesses to be placed on the stand by the state in an effort to secure commitment of Ar buckle to trial before the superior court for murder, the determined battle to free the former film star -was to be under way. WITNESSES 8CBPE5AED The state has subpenaed the follow ing witnesses for the opening day: Maud Delmont; Miss Grace Halston, a nurse; Zey Pyvron-Prevost, who has been under surveillance ; Dr. M. E. Rumwell, Dr. William Ophuls and Dr. Shelby Strange. The last mentioned is an autopsy phy sician for the city. It was he who ex amined Miss Rafipe's body and reported the finding of several large bruises on the, limbs. He has been directed to make a report of a microscopic exam ination and have it in readiness for tomorrow. The defense. It is indicated, will rely largely on cross-examination of the medical witnesses to clear Arbuckle of responsibility. The morning was spent in feverish preparation for the opening of the hear ing. Frank Domlnguez, chief counsel for the defense, arrived from Los Angeles and plunged into conferences .with his associates, Milton Cohen and Charles H. Brennan.

Douglas, a sailor, in a North End lodging house, the police today were grilling Mike Lozo, proprietor of a card room and soft drink establish ment at 48 North Third street He is charged tentatively with maintaining a nuisance, but the inquistlon was to de termine whether or not he had , sold poison moonshine to Douglas.

This means that the fabric must be shrunk in certain places and stretched in others. e - But shrinking and stretching is not all. The fabric must be hand-manipulated by experts to secure exactitude and smoothness wherever exactness and smoothness are essential to service and satisfaction, And no machine on earth can do these things. Of course, machine-work is quicker, but even at its mechanical best it cannot compare with the wprk of the human hand. We recommend hand-workmanship and Hickey-Freeman are its greatest exponents in America today. THE PRICE QUESTION Our prices are neither hih nor cheap bat reasonable and fair. No store can handle Hickey-Freeman merchandise on a shoe-strinj. It costs money. But we add mifchty little to it ourselves.
