LEVYING TRIBUTE.
The Grand Jury Impeach
Licensing Lee.
HIS DISMISSAL DEMANDED
Charge That Thirteen of His Deputies
Were Compelled to Pay to Re-
tain Their Offices.

George W. Lee is likely to lose his posi-
ton as License Collector at a very early
date, as he was formally accused of extor-
ton by the Grand Jury yesterday.
The jury met punctually at P. NJ. II
had been given out that report of some
description was TO be made during the
afternoon, and Judge CARRIER sat waiting
TO receive it. But 1t was not until nearly .
o'clock that the jury was conducted across
the corridor by District Attorney Barnes
and fled into Judge CARRIERS courtroom.
On their names being called, Chairman
j. K. Firthrnse and formally announced
hat the jury had drawn up an accusation,
which he would place in the hands of Mr.
Barnes, as District Attorney.
In the accusation thus presented in open
court to District Attorney Barnes the
Grand Jury stated that the evidence before
them showed that George w. Lee was
called to his Office OF License Collector oil
the city and county of San Francisco on
July 6. 1891, and that he appointed James
D. Hart, S. FL. Simon. j. Ii. Gil ert. E. II.
Dufield, Elein MeNab. George MeGilt.
Peter Foley, James B. Brown. W.T. Fig
gerald. J. w. Jourden, Peter j. Kelly, G.
Va ero and Alfred Mclaughlin as his
deputies. a ,i
These deputies receive salaries of from
500 to S125 per month each, and 1t was
shown that Lee had levied and collecte
an assessment of S25 per month from each
of his deputies tor four months-Janu-
ary. February, March and April of the
present year-making total tax OF S100
from each deputy. The consideration
given bv Lee WAS promise to retain these
men in their offices. Therefore the Grand
Jury accused Lee of extortion. and prayed
that he he dismissed from uffice. Signed.
J. K. Firth. foreman.
The cusation was made under section
20 of the Penal Code, relating to extortion
by public officer, and the procedure in
court was under section 75S of the same
code.
What remains now is for District Attor-
ney Barnes to notify Lee in writing of the
accusation of the Grand Jury and allow
him ten DAYS TO file demurrer OF answer
to the charge. Then the court will ap-
point day for the hearing of the case.
which will take the form of misdemeanor
trial and will be heard before 4 jury. The
maximum penalty 10 be incurred is dis
missa from office. There is no Grimm al
penalty.
District Attorney Barnes says he win
notify Lee this morning.
1t is not likely that Lee will care. nor,
excepting the disgrace attached to sucn an
accusation, will he be hurt by this, as he
has but short term of office left.
