this conversation it Is contended by
the prosecution that 1t was plainly
of the stock was to go to Graney for
Ruef. To this two of the persons
present at the conversation have tes-
tilted. Graney on the witness stand
said that to the best of his knowledge
he did net hear this matter arranged.
This testimony was given by Graney
on Wednesday
The other feature OF Graney's testi-
mony that Heney could clarity con-
Germs the manner in which the 20 per
cent of stock was given to Ruef. Gra-
ney has sworn that 1t was given to the
boss voluntarily and not because of any
pressure. The prosecution is not salts
fed with this statement, for 1t has
reason to believe that the stock was
extorted under threats of making trou-
Bile. There is no desire to indict Graney
for his connection with the affair, but
unless he modifles his testimony an in
dictment on the charge of perjury may
follow.
Graney is being given every chance.
When he gave testimony on Wednes-
day he was given time to think the
matter over in the hope that his mem
ery would serve him better. He was
called before the Grand Jury yesterday
and given an opportunity to correct his
testimony. But Graney stood pat.
Over night the boss had doubled the
pressure.
ITO the best of my recollection" said
Graney yesterday in the Grand Jury
room. 'the testimony I gave was the
truth. To the best of my knowledge I
never told any one that Ruef had de-
manded 90 per cent of the stock. no
matter what other witnesses say. To
the best Of my knowledge, the % per
cent of stock was given to Ruef
through our desire to have him in the
company and not through any demands
made by him"
Heney still believes that Graney will
alter his testimony. He gave him an
other day to consider The blacksmith
will be placed on the stand again to-
of testimony he will be accused of per-
jury.
1t has been charged that Graney,
when not in the jury-room, has been
in conference with Ruef and the two
attorneys of the boss, Ach and Short
ridge. Many of the jurors were in
favor of taking summary action in
Graney's case yesterday, but it was
pointed out to them that it was Ruef
and not Graney that the prosecution
wanted.
Fremont Older was a witness yes
terday in the case of the Belvedere.
He added to the evidence already ac-
cumulated against Ruef.
AS the case now stands, there Is
SUFFICIENT evidence to warrant indict-
ments. Heney is waiting, however, in
the hope that Graney's memory will
clear to an extent that will involve
Ruef so deeply that escape will be i'm
possible.

Witnesses Tell How
He Took BribeS

wasted no time in repeating
hearSay or gossip of the
street. They specifically
charged Ruef, Schmitz and
Dinan with being implicated
in the transactions they testi-
fed to and with having bene-
fitted by the degradation of
the white slaves in their hire.
They told, among other
things, how Ruef had to be
consulted and how he was as
specific in his requirements
of them as though he was
discussing a deal III stocks
and bonds.
They told how Ruef al
ways insisted on being paid
in gold so that the stain of
the wretched' tribute could
not be traced to his hands.
They told, in brief, a story
that demeaned the men who
control the administrative
affairs of San Francisco and
earned them a characterization that
has not been allowable in print since
the over-frank days Of Congreve and
Wycherley.
There were three witnesses who
gave this sordid testimony to the
Grand Jury. They were on the wit
ness stand for more than three hours
and occupied most OF the afternoon
session of the inquisitorial body.
Their testimony for the most part
centered about the house at 7l2 Pacific
street which was recently closed by
the police.
This place opened shortly after the
earthquake. The men who ran II

in the place and that ii was under

would have to be sought and paid for.

Planning Mil Badly Damaged
by Fire Sunday Morn
ing
Loss NAY 8E VERY HEAVY
PEOPLE OF THE ISLAND HAD TO
FIGHT HARD TO SAVE OTHER
PARTS OF MILL AND WRIGHT
6 00WEN'S STORE.

The planning mill of the Hilton AM
Dodge Lumber Company at St. Simon
was almost totally destroyed by fire
ct noon Sunday,
The coufagrauon originated in q
oile of shayings usually kept in the
entrance 10 the mill, which, it is be-
lioved, caught from. one Of the fire
boxes generally}hept hot ca Sundays.
As soon as The alarm was sounded
on the island the entire population
turned out TO- aid ia The work OF ex-
tin3u.ishinS the flames. The com
pany Keeps several hundred feet Of
hose on hand for fire purposes ana
this was quickly placed into service.
An entrance was forced into the
store OF Wight & Gowen only few
yards away from the bulmimgA min
and all OF the buckets kept ih stock
We're pla, ed into commission ana
proved to be of great assistance in
The worl@ Of saving the property.
However, in spite OF the splend5
fight made by the people, the greater
9ortion Of lhe planning mill was des.
troyed, all Of the wood work was OF
course more or less damaged whilc
some injury was done to the boilers
and machinery, but to what extent
it cannot yet be estimated but it
is beliyed that thye can be saved,
with considerable loss.
The l3age general merchandise
store Of Wright & Gowen had very
narrow escape from destruction, and

times thebmcn with the buckets and

flames. 4 stiff northeast wind was
