SAx FRANcIsco, Nov. 20.-Ths fact
that Spfeckels vas admitted 10 bail
after having Attempted 20 assassinate
D. YOUNG. and In the attempts 10 do 90
infiicting such dangerous wounds, ex
cites much comment. The only sxpls-
nation offered IL that De Younq's med
iesl attandants eent word 10 the polioe
station that the wounds we're not nscos-
sAriiy dangerous. The judge thsrefore
considered Il 3 bailab.e o1lonse. This
statement Ia denied at the Chrcnicle
business Office. The managers say they
cannot understand Why SpreckeIs
should have reen bailed out, a. they do
not think the doctors offered any opin-
ion on the character Of the wounds, nor
were they In a-position to do 90 until O
more critical examination had been
made sfter the removal Of De Young to
his residence. Should there be any ap-
pearance Of De Young getting worse,
Spreckels viii be Immediately rearrested
and held In confinement until all dan
ger 10 passed.
Public opinion over the shooting 10
moro crystalized this morning. and the
sympathy is all on the side of De Young.
A more careful reading Of the articles
which melted Spreckels 10 do the shoot
ing confirms the belief that there was
nothing In them 10 justify such mur-
derous attempt.
MONDE oung's friends express
great anxiety over bis case. Although
the doctors refuse 70 make any absolute
statement Of his condition. 10 is we'll
known that at present they entertain
the gravest fears. Should inflammation
set In near the sub clavian artery and
the artery burst, nothing could save his
life.
Spreckles has bean placed uuder sur.
veillanee. and there 10 no possibility Of
his escaping from the city, even should
be desire 10 do 90.
BY mutual agreement between the
prosecuting and defending attorneys.
the further hearing Of the case has
been indefinitely postponed, and as the
condition OF both DeYoung and Spreck
les prevented their appearance, by
agreement Of the attorneys, the exami-
nation Of Adolph B. Speeckles and Geo
w. Emerson, both charged with assault
TO murder, were continued uatil De-
