dence had been secured pointing to
criminal acts among officials and in
cluding their confessions.

lice packed the courtroom with Ruef
thenchmen and when 200 well known
business and professional men appear-
ed the police threw them out.
Among the men violently thrown, out
of the building was Rudolf tSpreckels,
