McGItATH, ALASKA. SKPT. 14. ISr2I
Intimated That They
Are Being Used in
Arbuckle Case.
San Francisco, Sept. 11.—The
grand jury, after an all night
session, decided to defer action
in the matter of bringing an in
dictment against Arbuckle until
further evidence is presented.
Arbuckle was before the strand
jury for about three minutes
early this morning, but declined
to testify, on the advice of coun
sel. ^i^trict Attorney Brady is
sued a -tatement charging that
Mis.-. Zey Pyuron, one of tie*
state's principal witnesses, had
changed her testimony, given
before the grand jury, perjuring
herself, and that Alice Blake,
another witness for the prosecu
tion. is missing. He said that
whenever the influences of
wealth are brought to the bar of
justice every sinister, corrupt
practice is used in an effort to
free the accused, although it is
always easy to convict a poor
man.
