Rand used the revolver with which
Young was killed to prove that in no
position could IL have been held by
Young to inflict the wound that caused
death. Facing the jury. with the pis-
tol in his outstretched hand, the prose-
cutor exclaimed:

their acts speak for themselves; but
in conclusion he said he would send
some books from the Congressional Lii
brary at Washington to every fire
house in San Francisco-books that
would furnish a nucleus for a good.
substantial library.
Mayor Schmitz again spoke briefly
in conclusion, saying that such heroes
as the men of the Fire Department
deserved more consideration at the
hands of the people and instead of but
three days off a month. he was going
TO see if he could not get each man of
the department a full day off each
week. and also to get for them other
concessions that would make their
lives more agreeable
The Mayors announcement was
greeted with great applause. The an
plause marked the end of the cere-
monies and the fire ladies returned to
their houses to wait for danger TO
again confront them.
