ARE LAID OFF
Acting Superintendent Finds
1t Necessary to Tempo

At the regular meeting of the Park
Commissioners yesterday afternoon a
great amount Of routine business was
transacted, but more important mat
ters were laid over until the full meet
ing Of the board, as Commissioner
Spreckels is abroad and Commissioner
Sullivan is not in the city.
The report Of Acting Superintendent

the work laid out by Superintendent
McLaren had been completed and he
did not care to take up any new work
until the return of the superintendent.
who is expected back in about three
weeks. Since McLaren's absence twen-
ty men were laid off, as there was
nothing for them to do. His action
was approved.
The plans and specifications for the
Improvement of Dolores street, be-
tween Sixteenth and Eighteenth, were
sumbitted by Mrs. Lowell White of
the Outdoor Art League. No action
was taken pending the action on pro-
posed charter amendments.
A box containing relics OF the
steamer Brother Jonathan, which was
wrecked some years ago, was present
ed by d. H. Daniels. The commission
accepted the gift with thanks.
The park gardeners requested that
their wages be increased from 81 rs
to SO per day. After some discussion
1t was decided to take no action until
full meeting of the board can be
held.
The report from the children's play
ground showed the receipts for the

BALLINGER WILL
Be PROSECUTED
District Attorney Informs
Judge Dunno Case Will Be
Taken Before Grand Jury
POSTPONED FOR WEEK
Colonel Barry Vigorously
Objects to an Imputation
of a Lack of Good Faith
POSTPONED FOR WEEK

| District Attorney Byington has de-
cided to lay the case Of George T.
Ballinger before the Grand Jury, Bal
linger was bookkeeper for the Califor-
MIA Art Glass Works, 1S2 Second
street, and was arrested on charge
! of felony embezzlement upon COM
plant of William Schroeder, presi-
dent of the company. He was held
to answer, but was released on a writ
Of habeas corpus by Judge Graham.
An information had been filed against
him on the same day that the writ
was applied for and the case was as
signed to Judge Dunne's court
Atmotion to dismiss the information
was in due course made before Judge
Dunno by Attorneys Barry and Bar
rett for the defendant but the Judge
refused to grant the motion and hint
ed that the proceedings would not
bear investigation.
Yesterday when the case was again
called Assistant District Attorney
Whiting said he had seen the wit
there was a clear case Of embezzle-
ment. 1t was the intention Of the
District Attorney to prosecute the
case and to present It to the Grand
Jury. There were other charges on
which the defendant could be prose-
cuted besides the one In the informa-
ton. Whiting asked that the matter
stand over for a week.
Attorney Barry said no good result
could follow the course proposed by
the District Attorney. The discharge
OF the defendant on writ was a bar
to any further proceedings.
IF the facts,'' said the Judge, "pre-
sented at the preliminary examination
are substantiated the offense OF en-
bezzlement was properly charged. I
think the District Attorneys ONCE
should make a thorough inquiry as to
whether there had been anything
lurking behind the motion for the dis
charge of the defendant and discover
upon whom the responsibility rests.
Personally, have at no time express
ed an opinion as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the defendant"
Barry said he would enter q formal
exception to the language Of the court
in regard to the defendant and the
good faith Of himself and Attorney
Barrett in making the motion. The
whole matter had been argued In the
other court and the writ granted. He
objected to any criticism OF the action
Of the other court.
1T seems to me-" said Judge Dunno,
that If you are clothed with right
eousness you have nothing to fear
from an inquiry. The other court can
take care Of ITSELF
Barry again vigorously protested.
He denied that there had been any in
tentton OF imposing upon the court.
The defendant would stand upon his
rights and would rely upon the fact
that he had been proved innocent OF
the charge. which fact should entitle
him to have his rights protected.
The Judge said the unfortunate
thing was that he was not satisfied
the defendant was looking for his
rights. The whole proceedings If thor
oughly analyZed would be sufficient
answer to all that counsel had said.
He would continue the matter for a
week. Barry again took exception to
the language and manner of the court
and the Judge curtly said, THAT Is
ALL"

The contest over the vacancy in the
Board Of Education seems to have
narrowed down TO Park Commission
er Altman and David j. Oliver Jr.,
with the chances rather favoring Alt
mann, although divers supporters
claim it is an even race. Both men
are highly regarded by the present
members Of the board and both have
influential backing. Deputy Health
Officer Levy, who applied for the ap-
pointment, learned yesterday that he
is ineligible by two years owing to the
charter requirement that a School Dr.

DEATH PENALTY
IS REIMPOSED

| William Buckley was resentenced
by Judge Lawlor yesterday to be
hanged at San Quentin on October z
for the murder Of George w. Rice, a
non-union machinist. at Twentieth and
| Howard streets on the evening of Oc-
tober II, 1901. Buckley was tried.
convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
A motion for a new trial was denied
and he appealed to the Supreme
Court, but the appeal was unsuccess-
full.
A writ of supersedeas will now, It is
said, be applied for to the Supreme
Court on the grounds that the defend
ant was not proceeded against by an
indictment Of the Grand Jury; that
he was not confronted with the wit
nesses against him and that therefore
the court was without authority to
enforce the judgment. The objection
was that Erline Piatts testimony
taken at the preliminary examination
was read to the jury, as she was un-
able to be present at the trial.
Attorney D. ]. Murphy prior to the
passing of sentence said he desired to
make a request on behalf of the de-
fendant. He declared that the story
first told him by the defendant was
the same as testified to by him as a
witness on the stand. 1t had i'm
pressed him with the stamp of truth
fulness. He asked for delay in the
execution of the sentence in order that
steps might be taken to save the de-
fendant from what he believed un-
just punishment.
Assistant District Attorney Ferral,
who represented the defendant at his
trial, made an impassioned address in
his behalf. He declared that it would
be judicial murder to send the, defend
ant to the gallows, as he did not fire
the shots at Rice. He asked for time
to prepare a petition to the Governor
to commute the sentence to imprlson-
ment for life and said that the time
would arrive when the defendant
would receive a free pardon.
Buckley was asked if he had any
thing to say. He stood up, and, al
though he seemed deeply affected, he
said in a clear voice: II can only say,
as my attorneys have said, that I am
innocent. never fired the shots, but
they were fired by a man did not
know. AS sure as there is a God
above me / am as innocent of that
crime as any of the Jurors who found
me guilty. l never injured that man."
The Judge after passing sentence
read correspondence that had passed
between him and Ex-Governor Gage
and Governor Pardee, showing that
the records of the case had been sent
to each Of the Governors, who had
thus been fully advised Of everything
that had transpired.
