COOK DENIES
WYMAN'S WRIT
Superior Judge Remands
Election Frauds Suspect
{ Into Custody of Sheriff
CASE WILL GO HIGHER
Attorney COuntryman Is
Determined to Carry His
Points to Supreme Court

The defense in the case Of Charles
Wyman. the alleged ballot-box stuffer.
received another setback yesterday.
Judge Carroll Cook dismissed the writ
of habeas corpus and remanded Wy
man into custody. fixing the bail at
the same amount. Bail was furnished
and the accused ballot-box suffer will
remain at liberty until the case comes
to trial.
Wyman is charged with having IL
legally voted in the name of s. II.
Mann at the primary election held on
August 9.
When the hearing OF the habeas
corpus proceedings was called Attor-
ney Countryman, for the defense; i'm
mediately tried for a delay. He in
formed the court that he was not yet
prepared with transcript Of the Police
Court proceedings in the case. Attor-
ney Hosmer, special prosecutor, sug-
gested that the case could proceed with
the evidence at hand, but Countryman
objected. However the objection was
overruled and the hearing began.
Countryman made the same argu-
He maintained that the primary cleo
tion on August was Illegal on the
ground that it was not ordered by the
Governor of the State or the Mayor of
San Francisco.
The proclamation under which the
election was held was simply a bit Of
paper on which certain districts were
set forth, maintained Countryman. 1t
was neither attested nor issued under
the hand or seal of the Board Of Elec-
ton Commissioners
The defense then began an attempt
to show that Wyman had not written
the name of s. H. Mann and that after
Wyman left the booth some one else
had signed Mann's name.
Judge Cook interrupted: 'It Is no
use wasting time trying to decide who
wrote Mann's name" said his Honor.
That is a point for the committing
magistrate to decide. Moreover, 1 will
not consider anything Judge Sloss has
passed upon"
Then Countryman continued on the
argument that the election was illegal
ly held and that there was no penalty
for the offense OF which Wyman was
accused. He cited cases to that effect,
but Judge Cook gave his opinion that
section 641z of the Penal Code applied
to the case.
The point that Wyman had been
made to appear against himself in the
Police Court was emphasized by Coun-
tryman. Judge Cook admitted that
forcing the defendant to testify in the
lower court might be illegal, but he
maintained that an objection should
have been made at the time.
The case will probably be taken to
the Supreme Court.

sraSJovS acting S5eeretaSy 0f ti1e rteass
ury. said to-day with reference to the
speech of Judge Parker to delega-
ton of farmers last Friday:
made a brief statement a few days ago,
mildly calling attention to several very appar-
ent errors on his part. unintentional doub L,
hut made out OF the fullness of his misinfor-
nation in regard to the conduct OF certain
nublic affairs. The Judge has not yet taken
issue as to any Of the facts, neither has ne ad-
mitted his mistakes, but he seems to have
thought some reply necessary
urv defcit of s24. 900. 600 during the first two
months or this fiscal year. and compares it
with the small deficit of last year for the cor
responding months. Just why he signaled out
lest wear for a comparison / leave the reader
70 fid-e II he had taken several other re-
cent years he would have found the deficit
1sr~er than this year. AS I said in my pre-
,io,,s statement, the drafts upon the Treas
,,-y, are always of necessity the heaviest dur
Ing the first months of the fiscal year.
There are two reasons why the deficit this
wear was large: first, the receipts fell on
"a 400 600 and, second. the demands were un-
,r,sually heavy Seven millions OF dollars were
raid to the Postoffce Department. largely on
account OF the extension of the free delivery.
and. the amount necessary to pay for sites
md public buildings authorized and under
construction was increased several fold over
previous years
= II even appears that during the ''econom-
seaY' administration of President Cleveland
to which he admirtngly REFERS there were
heavy dehcits-
