All Of the witnesses called in the
Beivedere and fight trust matters were
excused yesterday and told TO come
back and give their testimony before
the Grand Jury this afternoon. Coff-
roth asked 70 be excused so that he
could 20 TO Los Angeles on business

quest coffroth today will be given
an opportunity TO add TO his testimony,
ana much significance is attached to
this. Heney believes that Coffroth
knows much more about the inner
workings OF the Belyedere than he has
thus far shown a disposition TO testify
70. Codroth himself has persisted in
maintaining that his ignorance on the
matter has been monumental. and has
refused 70 involve Ruef, Graney or
any one else IN the graft Graney has
involved Cofroth. on the other hand.

Cert and Atkinson
Interest Jury

The Grand Jury has employed an ex-
pert to inspect the work done for the
city by Ruefs expert accountants,
Speaker T. E. Atkinson of the Assem-
bly, and MYRTLE Cert Of Belvedere
fame. The only complaint which the
Grand Jury expert has made so far is
that he cannot find anything to inspect.
If Atkinson and Cert did anything to
earn the $500 a month they have sue
cessfully covered their tracks The
only tangible evidence secured is that
they drew their salaries
When Ruef finds one of his hench-
men out of employment, with all Offices
filed, he straighta~ay creates a new
Job. Atkinson and Cert raised a long,
loud howl when they found themselves
unprovided for after the political melon
had been sliced. So Ruef propagated
a new melon and cut it in half. Cert
and Atkinson were made expert ac-
countants for emergency work at $500
q month each

role of inspector of himself. He found
that he had done his work we'll He
also remembered to draw his salary.
Cert was docile. reported to Ruef every
night and took orders for the follow
ing day. Ruef considered Cert cheap
for the city paid for him.
Atkinson was not so docile. He
kicked over the traces. Joined the Macs
tretti wing of the party and lost his
job as expert accountant at 5000
month.

mits that he has been instructed TO

there is nothing in the books that will
prove that Abe Ruef Mayor Schmitz
or others connected with the adn1inis-
tration have shared in the profits of
the cribs at $40 Jackson street. but
refused to produce them last week
when requested to do so by Special
Prosecutor Heney on the ground that
tney came within his province as a
lawyer and that the usual professional
eooe In the matter should PREVAIL
Heney maintains that a lawyer who
laid bricks might just as well make the
same contention and has submitted to
the court numerous precedents and rul-
ings to establish his claim
In deciding the matter Judge Mu-
rasky will also give rulings in the
cases of Attorneys Frank Burke. Mar
Gus Rosenthal and Martin Stevens. all
OF whom are seeking to evade giving
testimony before the Grand Jury
The case of Stevens is next In inter-
est to that of Lastreto, inasmuch as
Heney will attempt to prove thaA it

French restaurateur. for q liquor IL

lication of an account of this hold-u up
in The Call last week attracted much
attention, and the case has since been
hanging fire while Judge Murasky was
preparing his ruling in the matter
Stevens, 1t is generally understood
has been claiming that he cannot be
forced to testify as to the part he
played in the matter, inasmuch as he
was acting as an attorney. Some nice
legal technicalities are involved in the
rival contentious in all these cases, and
apart from the local interest in them
the rulings of Judge Murasky today
will attract widespread attention in
legal circles

has been refusing relates to both the
Belvedere and the fight trust gratis

jury-room that he would refuse to tes-

Investigate Deals
in Furniture

Their curiosity whetted by the par
tisl monopoly Joseph Fredericks & Co
have had IN the business Of supplying
the city departments with furniture,
the members Of the Grand Jury yester-
Gay took I'D an investigation of deal
ings between that firm and the munich
pslity, and gave during the afternoon
an unpleasant hour TO E. s Strauss
salesman for the house. Strauss was
on tenderhooks in the Grand Jury room
while Heney gave him q grilling exam
ination. eli had been asked pointed
questions on his relations with Super
visor Nicholas. who has been indicted
once on the accusation that he agreed
70 receive from Holmes Brothers a
bribe OF s26.I0 for giving them con-
tract.
After the jury had finished with
Strauss he was belligerantly non-com-
initial i VIII punch the nose Of any
one who asks me any questions" he
shouted wildly as he plunged down the
stairway from Native Sons Hall He
literally ran down Cough street TO es-
cape those who would have interviewed

Frank Howells, bookkeeper for Fred
ericks, was called after Strauss and
was made 10 produce the books of the
concern He had been brought 10 the
room by Agent Burns. who went TO
Fredericks' store for him IN an automo-

Creighton toGive
Testimony

The graft that came from the degra-
dation of women will be again probed
today by the Grand Jury, when Special
Prosecutor Heney will place on the
stand Dick Creighton. whose sensation
al testimony was the feature of the in
vestigatfon last week, and other per-
sons who have been connected with the
disreputable resorts at 712 Pacific
street and $40 Jackson street
Creighton and Jerry Driscol, cousin
Of Mayor Schmitz, were to have been
star witnesses before the Grand Jury
yesterday, but were excused because
Heney was engaged with other phases
OF the investigation They will be re-
called. however, together with P. Les
ter, James Bradigan, James Monahan
and William Finnegan. all of whom
were connected in some way with the
resorts in question.
Agents Of Ruef and the administra-
tion have been busily engaged in in
timidating witnesses since the hearing
last week, but enough evidence has
now been produced to preclude the pos
sibility Of much evasion when they tes-
tify today
That the scheme of protection for
the resort at $50 Jackson street in
wolves members OF the administration
has now been established without any
doubt, and indictments for perjury will
fall upon the heads OF witnesses who
attempt 10 distort facts in connection
with the part they played in con-
tributing TO this graft.
Albert Andrieu. one of the owners of
the house at 712 Pacific street, has tes-
titled that Ruef was the man who was
paid for the protection. He also in
volved Chief Of Police Dinan in the
scandal by claiming 1t was the latter
who told him to treat with the ex-
convict, kid" Sullivan, in arranging
for protection for similar houses on
Fillmore street.
Creighton has testified that he paid
TO Ruef personally $3.50 a week in gold
for protection. and other witnesses
have given testimony that makes ii
certain that indictments will be re-
turned on this particular graft.
Today's testimony is expected to go
into the very heart of the Illegal traffic
Of protection and show that ii was
much more extensive form Of graft
than has yet been made public. Heney
is prepared TO prove that this most un-
the city and that 1t helped TO enrich
men exalted in Office and public faith.
He believes that Of all the gratis ii is
the most wretched and conclusive.
The Municipal House." at 620 Jack
son street Is TO be barred by Heney as
it has never been exposed before, and
the testimony seems sure to do more
TO discredit the Ruef grafters than any
other municipal rottenness uncovered
by the inouisitors.
