STAR WITNESSES
OF STATRREADY
Zey Prevon and Alice Blake
Guests at Arbuckle's Par
ty to Take Stand.
BY ELLIS H. MARTIN.
Iiiternational News Staff Correspondent.
San Francisco, Nov. 19. The stage
was set tonight for the testimony of
two witnesses, on whose words the
case of the State against Roscoe
"Fatty" Arbuckle will in all probabil
ity . stand or fall.
They are Zey Prevon and Alice
Blake, show girls and guests at the
gay party given in a local hotel by the
famous film funster following which
Virginia Rappe died.
It was District Attorney Brady's in
tention to place these girls on the
stand Monday. Then will begin the
real battle of the defense to clear Ar
buckle. ' On cross-exapiination, they
will face a withering fire of ques
tions tending to impeach the stories
they tell for the State.
Zey Prevon has been in custody of
an attache of the district attorney
since her first appearance before the
grand jury. This was also true of
Alice Blake until two weeks ago,
when ihe effected a reconciliation with
her mother, a wealthy society ma
tron of Oakland, and departed, from
the control of the district attorney for
the seclusion of her mother's home.
During the selection of the jury, the
defense plainly indicated their inten
tion to attack this '"impounding of
witnesses" as Chief Counsel Gavin Mc
Nab termed it and it is also learned
the authenticity of many features of
their stories will be questioned by the
defense.
The ground work for the appearance
on the stand of these two eye-witnesses
of what 13 known to have taken
place at the - Arbuckle party, was laid
in the first two days of testimony.
Three doctors and a nurse were the
witnesses.
Through Dr. Shelby Strange, Dr.
William Ophuls, Dr. Arthur Beardsley
and Miss Grace Halstead, the State
established the following points, con
sidered pertinent to their case:
1 That Virginia Rappe died of peri
tonitis brought about by a ruptured
bladder.
2 That a display of a "certain
amount of force" was the probable
cause; of the rupture.
3 That, after death, her body had
many bruises and that at least part
of these bruises were apparent at
death. ...
4 That immediately after the party
Miss Rappe was in terrific pain, the
location of which was the abdominal
region.
5 That there was . no evidences of
alcoholism apparent when. Dr. Beards
lee, first physician called to attend, her,
arrived.
6 That he realized at once it was
a surgical case, calling for an opera
tion. During the questioning of these wit
nesses, the defense was not without
comfort. Cross-examination developed
that "muscular contraction," such as
vomiting, might cause a rupture of
the bladder. The difficulty of deter
mining whether bruises are of ante or
post mortem origin was also brought
out. )
The defense is expected to spring
many surprises when Miss Prevon and
Miss Blake take the stand the na
ture of which they are carefully con
cealing. The trial is expected to last
a month. ' :l
(DAVIDSON MUSICAL
CLUBS WERE HEARD
CHRISTIAN GULT
DR. GRAS TOPIC
Dean of Moody Bible Insti
tute Speaks on Subject of
Christian Science.
"The Evils of Christian Science" was
the, subject of an address delivered Sat
urday night at Tenth Avenue Presby
terian church by Dr. James M. Gray,
dean of the Moody Bible Institute, who
has been lecturing here during-the past
week at this church. Dr. Gray spoke
to a large audience dispassionately, il
lustrating his points by own experience
of contact with various proponents of
this philosophy.
"Let me sayin the beginning of this
address that I have no intention of
making an attack on any Christian
Scientist," said Dr. Gray. "I count
some of them among my friends who
would do almost anything to show their
friendship for me and who know I
would do the same for them. Neither
is it my purpose to make any attack
upon Christian Science itself as a sys
tem of healing. If it limited itself to
the healing of the bodies of men and
the bettering of their morals, who could
say it nay? Should we not all wish it
God-speed? As a system of healing, it
is only another phase of the mind cure,
which has been employed by reputable
physicians in all the centuries, in the
healing of certain diseases.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AS RELIGION
"But Christian Science is nothing if
it is not a system of religion, not' neces
sarily a new religion but an old one
under a new name. And as such it
antagonizes every fundamental teach
ing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You
will recall the challenge of Satan to
Jehovah as recorded in Job, "Skin for
skin, yea, all that a man hath will he
give for his life." Satan knows the
human heart better than any other be
ing, except God himself. He knows how
much man thinks of physical life and
health and what he will do to relieve
himself of disease. He knows that some
think more of their bodies than their
souls and 'that they may easily be led
away through the' healing of the for
mer into the worship of the "god of
this world."
"Sometime ago, there was in this
country an English earl, a Christian
Scientist, who on being interviewed,
gave this testimony; He and his wife
were members of the church of Eng
land, I think. His wife was afflicted
with an incurable disease, but becom
ing acquainted with Science was healed
by it. Naturally, he became interested
in the system. He had a certain illness
also that it removed. Moreover, he had
been addicted to drinking habit, and
other vices and it had given him a gen
eral cleansing. Therefore, since he had
never received such benefits from the
church and had received them from
Christian Science, he decided the lat
ter must be the truth and followed it,
turning his back on the Gospel. The
way Satan gained his advantage over
this earl is the way he gains the ad
vantage in every case.
HOW IT OPPOSES BIBLE.
"Christian Science denies also the
reality in. the sense of the personality
of God. Science and Health, the text
book of Christian Science, in some
places does refer to God as a person,
but rather the impersonal soul of the
universe. This is the god of pantheism.
He is in this desk as truly as he is in
everything else of the universe. He is
not above the universe in the sense
that he created it. The god of panthe
ism is the god of Science. I have this
from the lips of a lecturer of Science.
He told me that in order to get into
the inner circle, it were necessary to
renounce belief in the personality of
God. Christian Science denies reality
of Jesus Christ. He is spoken of in
their text-book, but a distinction - is
made between Jesus and the Christ.
He could never live on earth as Jesus
because there is no earth and no Jesus
suffering. As to the Christ, the teach
ing.jiia -that .the '.conception of Virgin
Mary was not unique and that there
may be more Christs than one. Other
women may become so spiritual as to
give birth to a Christ. Dr. A. C. Dixon
affirms that there are no less than three
women in Massachusetts who claimed
to have given birth to Christ in that
way. With such a view," is it any won
der that they find no place for the
Lord's supper? " : -
"It denies the r Vily of Satan;
Christian Science dc? es reality of sin.
Sin is simply an error of mortal mind
and you can think it away as you can
think disease away.- ' ?
"Christian Science denies prayer.
Prayer in Science is a form of hypno
tism, a kind of introspection ana tnen
in the flesh. There is no flesh. No suf-t projection of mind; upon object or per
f ering on the Cross because there is no son to be influenced." '
