SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-Super- visor Fred P.

Robin son. The defense tried to show by this witness that District Attorney Langdon and Assistant Attorney Hen ey had made impassioned appeals to the jury to indict, Nicholas and Duffy, but like other jurors he testified that neither of these officials had made such speech. The next move of the defense was an attempt to show that Foreman Oliver tried to intimidate witnesses in the grand jury room.
 Robinson testified that the foreman had warned all witnesses to adhere strictly to the truth, and told them what was the penalty for perjury.
 It will be several days before the defense can complete the examina- tion of jurors as to their bias and prejudice. and then 1t may be weeks before the two defendants are made to answer in open court the charges that have been brought against them.
 B. P. Oliver, foreman of the grand jury, was on the witness stand this afternoon. In reply to questions put him by attorneys for Duffy and Nich- olas as to whether the grand jury had any bias or prejudice against the de fendants. Oliver said:
 From the testimony I have heard in the grand jury room. am convinc- ed that the corruption of the present municipal administration is such that any one grand jury will hardly he able to ccIDpiefe thorough ig
