DEAL Mabel Normand Appeals to the American Public to With hold Judgment Until All the Facts Are Known Should Not Suffer for Acts of Crazy Chauffeur. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5. Three per sons smarted today tinder what tlioy termed the injustice of a situation created by the shooting here last Tuosday night of Courtland S. Dines, Dmvor oil operator and clubman. They were Mabel Normand, motion pictnro actress; Horace A. Greer, her chauffeur, who fired the Bhots; and Dines who was hit by two bul lets. Miss Normand, recuperating from an operation for chronic appendicitis, awaited at tho Good Samaritan hos pital the effect of an appeal she ad dressed last night to the American public to "withhold their judgment of mo until ull tho facts are known." "I feel that I am particularly unfor tunate In reaping most of the public ity in this terrible tragedy," she de clared, "... and it is unjust of the censors or anyone else to con demn mo before they have, heard my story." wecr, wnom ponce described as "a r 'roscuo" her. from ninon' n tin rf mailt New Yeor,B n,Bnti OCCU)le(, a ceU ln I,. dom (v 1n, ,.',,, arraignment " ft" " . , yestornay on a charge or assault with i a deadly weapon, and clung to his or- AHso-'iginai declaration mat a noble desire protect the screen actress coupled . with an equaly laudable desire to save i.ig own Ilf constituted his sole mo- . . nuiiinB. the trigger of Miss i Normand'8 automatic nlstol and send- .. a ' . ,7 " Ing a bullet through' Dines' lung. As for Dines, the Injustice of the situation as it affected him was self evident, for "I don't know why in the word that fool shot me unless he was full of hop." Miss Purvlance Silent What Edna Purvlance, the other motion picture actress, thought about the course events have taken Bince the New Year's night affray, was not re vealed, Bhe having remained silent since her recent statement admitting that she and Dines wore "engaged, and yet not engaged, if you understand what I mean." To the police the New Year's shooting affray was a closed book and a task finished. The scene shifted to the probable effect or lack of It, which Miss Nor- mand'B appeal to the jiubllc might have on movement under way In various states to bar films ln which she Is fea tured. What effect hor statement might havo on the asserted "hero complex" of Greer was also a matter of Inter ested conjecture. ' Of Greer, Miss Normand said last night: I cannot conceive why my chauf feur should have taken tho revolver. I cannot conceive why he should have tho audacity to enter my bedroom and take Jt.
