Morse today i ] when shown a dispatch printed in a j newspaper stating that United States - Attorney General Daugherty desired > the shipbuilder to take passage on the first boat out of Havre. t Mr. Morse said he had received no ; reply to his request to the attorney general for permission to remain in i France until January 5, either from i Mr. Daugherty himself or from the ; American embassy in Paris. He add! ed that he had requested Police Com missioner-in-Chief Fabiani to call at ' the Continental hotel tomorrow at t 9:30 o'clock and accompany him to I the French line offices and book his passage, as he desired to board the liner before luncheon and prior to the t arrival of the boat trains at Havre . from Paris. [ "I should go back on.that boat to-! morrow even if I were indicted formurder," said Mr. Morse to the cor-! respondent. "As matters stand now I i don't even know whether I am indiett ed at all." The shipbuilder added that as soon as matters were settled satisfactorily in Washington he would return to Europe, as he must see Professor Machiafava, Ihe Italian specialist, regarding his illness. The notoriety given him by detention and the presence of the swarm | of French newspaper men and belated American correspondents arriving in . Havre today made him more irritable . than usual. He declared he would i decline to see anyone from now on. In giving his reason for desiring *to maintain privacy Mr. Morse said to the correspodnent: "I was afraid-my i health would brea down completely > under the strain. It would be a most . unfortunate thing for me should I suf-. . fer a collapse at this stage of the pro-; ? ceedings hwich Would prevent me . from. returning to the United -States.*' captured three pints of liquor from ' C.

His statement follows: n "I make this statement as a duty to P1 the public. bi "There was a tacit understanding 01 that the members of the jury would V! not make individual statements. 1 | ?* have learned since that a number of i st them have, however, done so. and I pi believe, as foreman, that it is well fori those interested in the administration 1>J of justice that the citizens of San Francisco should have the facts. ' ? "The ten members of the jury who voted on the last ballot for acquittal 1,1 felt that they voted on the evidence, '1( fully considering it all. One of the P' two minority refused to considt-r the P' evidence from the beginning and said. '1 at the opening of the proceedings. that she would cast her ballot and w would not change it until hell fro v; over. The other was fluctuating, sometimes casting a blank ballot, some- rc times voting for the defense and some- te times voting for the prosecution. "Considering all the evidence, it d seemed to us that the prosecution's case was an insult to the intelligence P of the jury. It asked us to substitute conjecture for facts without showing what had been done, and asked us to guess what might have been done and to guess only one way. V( "Human liberty and American a] dence." ; jc In a statement following the jury's return Arbuckle declared one of the p( five women jurors had prevented his jj acquittal "because she refused to allow her fellow jurors to discuss the evidence or reason with her and would not give any reason for her at. itude." u He did not name the juror.
