Arbuckle, In a statement issued alter the verdict termed it a "moral acquittal" District Attorney Brady, in a state ment declared "the disagreement does not vindicate Roscoe Arbuckle." this prevented him leaving at once for Los Angeles home. In view ot the fact that a new manslaughter trial Impends, this case may again be continued. The end of the famous trial came (Sunday at The Rt Rev.
