TO PLEAD SEPARNTILY
Rucf's Defense j. Urging Every En-
dcavor 10 Undermine the Work of
the Grand jury by Trying to Prove
Prejudice and Undue Influcnces--
Also Striving TO Bring About De-
wing Tae1ics.

san Francisco, Tee. 27.-Apparent-
ly determined to secure an immedi-
ate trial, Mayor SchmitZ, accompanied
by Attorney Mct2on, appeared at
Judge Dunne's court this morning and
filed written demand for orportu-
nifty 10 plead on five indictments in
the case separate from his co-defend-
ant, Rue9. 1t was taken under advise
ment.
Examination of witnesses in the
Rucf case was then resumed. Grand
Juror Crc4nbaum was questioned by
Attorney Ach, representing Ruef, as
to whether he was prejudiced against
the defendant by reading the newspa-
pcrs. The witness denied he had been
so influenced.
II is evidently the intention OF the
defense to examine all the. grand
jurors in an effort to secure delay for
some time to prevent the grand jury
proceeding tn work to return more
indictments.

STEALING COAL
NOT A CRIME
THREE CONNEII. CITIZENS
ACQUITTED by JURY.
Northern Pacific Secured Arrest of
Three Farmers for Taking Coal
From Freight Train, But the Jury
Declares ii Was No Crime, Under
the Circumstanccs--Old Case Re-
Called.

lhrea men arrested at Conncll dur.
ing the fuel famine for stealing coal
from the Northern Pacific railroad,
were found mot guilty" by a jury of
their neighbors in less than 20 min
utes. The tria! took place at Conncll
aud was one Of the biggest sensations
the metropolis of Franklin county has
experienced for many years. Public
sentiment almost without exception,
upheld the action of the accused men
in taking the coal under the circum-
stances.
The trial recalls some almost for
gotten facts in connection with the
tearing up and burning of a railroad in
that section some years ago. The O.
Il, 4 y. branch line from La Crosse
to Connell was originally built by the
n p. about 20 years ago. After it
was operated a few years it was ahan-
doned and subsequently passed into
the hanGs of the o. II, 4 n.
When that road finally concluded
to renew operations over this branch
it was discovered that all the ties for
a distance Of nearly 80 miles had been
dug ont by the settlers and used for
fuel and fence posts. The rails were
still! st;ewn along the right of way
but net q single tie could be found
No very serious effort was made by
tie railroad to punish the settlers. In
fact the company seemed rather glad
to know that the rails and right of
way were not taken also and the
alton.

approached upon the subject by a
young man OF the Idle Hour crowd,
whom she suspected at once Of hav-
ing been sent to her by the council
man. In a very guarded manner the
fellow made 1t known that he was
authorized to give Sadie 800, and
each of the girls $50, provided they
would leave town and not appear
against Clark, Bodine and Lamont.
When this offer was made Sadie de-
clared she could not consider 1t at all
.until the money was in sight and she
knew with whom she was dealing. At
first the briber refused to tell who
had sent him, but finally stated that
the offer of the money was from
Attorney Hinkle." Having unmasked
the game to her complete satisfaction
Sadie then refused to participate, and
the answer which she sent to iHinkle
could leave no doubt as to her mean
ing.

SLOAN MUST WORK.
Spokane Boy Murderer VIII Receive
No Special Favors ut Hands OF
Warden Kincaid.

walla Walla, Dec. 27.-(Special.)
Warden Kincaid, of the Washington
penitentiary, who will be custodian Of
Sydney Sloan, the boy murderer of
Spokane, pending his investigation by
the insanity board, says that Sloan
will receive no favors in the peniten-
tiary He will be received on the
same footing with other criminals,
will be made to work, live and act as
other prisoners in the penitentary.
Since Sloan has been sent to the
penitentiary pending his examination
and is not in fact a convict, there is
no special place assigned for such
prisoners, but friends OF Sloan had
hoped that he would be kept apart
from the regular convicts and would
be confined in special quarters.
Such will not he the case. He will
don the stripes, enter the lists under
his regular number and will be as
signed to prison labor just as other
convicts.

Inasmuch, however, as the issue has
been so generally spoken of as a

We, therefore, in the interest OF

mis- entreaty with a threat by saying
that should the case come to trial IL

The following story OF proposal
which recently came to her from

night by Sadie in the presence of
Marshal Gurdane, officer Waters and
two other witnesses.
Several days ago Councilman Hin
kle. attended By his brother. called
upon the proprietress of the Stock
Exchange to talk with her regarding
the cases against Clark, Bodins and
Lamont. Especial interest was htS,Sen
by the attorney in Lamont, and he JIM
sisted 10 the woman that 1t would be
all wrong to prosecute him for merely
falling 10 help a policeman. How
ever, that view Of the case was moi
shared by Sadie, who had been in the
melee herself Consequently, when
Hinkle asked her If she would NOT
contrive TO have the two women OF
the cribs who are witnesses for the
CITY in the Clark Bodine case, leave
Gown before the trial, she refused.
She insisted that the three men mad
boen i'm the wrong and she declined
TO have her girls leave town Tor
their (the meB's) benefit.

The Idle Hour, as conducted by
Will Wells, is now a thing of the
past, for the doors of the joint are
locked and the proprietor is without
license. The latter was revoked at
the council meeting last night after
the city fathers had listened for a
half hour or more to evidence as to
the character of the place.
AS soon as the routine business of
the council had been disposed of last
night the question of revoking the
Idle Hours license was taken. Dis
trict Attorney Phelps appeared in the
role of city counsel in the absence of
City Attorney McCourt As Wells
was not present in the room, al
though he knew his case was to be
considered, the marshal was directed
to again notify him of the meeting.
He did so but the saloon man sent
back word that he would not appear.
Council as Jury.
With the council in a semi-judicial
| capacity the investigation then pro-
| ceeded. Marshal Gurdane and Off
Ger Hi Waters were borh examined at
length as to the character of the
Idle Hour from a police standpoint.
They told how robbery after robbery
had been reported from the place;
that 1t was the hangout for a disor-
derly crowd; that the rooms above,
which are run in connection, are like
wise used by hard citizens, frequently
hV Of hn
Following the officers, young
Short, who works on the Cheney
dairy, was called and repeated his
story of having been robbed in a rear
room of the saloon by the prize
fighter, Riley, who is now in the
county Jail for the offense. 1t was
a very direct story of brutal holdup
and the things told by Short all point
ed to collusion between the saloon
men and the robber, though none of
the former participated in the rob-
bing.
When young Short had finished
the mayor asked if any one present
appeared in behalf of Wells. In re-
ply Adolph Swartz, the Walla Walla
brewer, said he was not authorized to
speak for the saloon, but neverthe-
less he desired to call attention to
the fact that all the troubles reported
were either behind or overhead the
saloon, whereas it was proposed to
revoke the license of the saloon.
However. Mayor Fee imme diately
pointed out that the robbery of short
had actually occurred within the sa-
loon and thereupon the defender
subsidized

notified Wells that his license was
revoked and ordered him to close the
place, both upstairs and down, at
once. At the time the place was
crowded with a variegated assemblage
which had 10 be dispersed. This was
done at once, however and within a
few minutes the doors were locked.

At the regular session of the coun-

transacted. but the only thing of gem

carried unanimously.

Facts which came to light yester-
day and last night show the highly
jealous and loyal manner in which
Councilman j. T. Hinkle upholds the
city administration and the police
department. The councilman from
the Fourth ward is the attorney for
Clark, Bodine and Lamont, who are
now under arrest for the affair in a
Cottonwood street crib hast Friday
morning. Clark and Bodine made a
brutal attack upon Officer Waters,
which resulted In the shooting OF
Clark by the officer. Lamont is un-
der arrest because he refused to aid
the policeman during the fight and
afterwards.
Soon after the three men had been
arrested Hinkle was retained to de-
fend them, and his lin. or action Is
very plainly shown herein.
For those not familiar with Cot
'tonwood street conditions. 1t must be
explained that Sadie - is the
lproprietress of tho Stock Exchange,
ann also Of the row of cribs which
Ssse the alley leading from Cotton
wood street to the rear of the saloons.
AT the time of the trouble last FRI
day morning she appeared upon the
scene. Learning what was In prog
ress she tried to get help for Officer
Waters, and falling to find anyone
with sufficient manhood to assist, she
took a part in the proceedings her
self. 1t was she who led Bodine TO
the city Jail while Waters did likewise
with the wounded man Clark.
Because in the officers of the law
rest their main refuge from drunken
rufflans the women of the tenderloin
ore disposed 20 aid the police when
the latter are trying to maintain order
within the redlight district. 1t was
this feeling that brought sadie to the
aid of officer Waters, and the senti
nent has been sufficiently strong that
IT could not be changed fer such
consideration as $500.
