Cable Assn. CHIEF WITNESS DISAPPEARS. (Rec/ September 14, 9.15 p.m.) New York, September 13. The chief witness against Arbuckle has mysteriously disappeared. When tho inquest was resumed, Mrs. Delmont, who laid tho murder complaint, failed to substantiate her first story. The inquest proceedings became rather farcical when Mrs. Delmont grew sleepy on the witness stand, and told the Coroner haltingly that she had taken a hypodermic injection before coming into court. —Reuter.
