Ruef Issues Statement Scoring Judge Dunno,

Shortly before midnight Ruef was es-
oorted to the Cafe Francisco in Van
Ness avenue by Burns. where both cap

Ruef was seated between Burns and
Biggy. At another table near by sat
Ruers attorneys. In the group were
Henry Ach, Samuel Shortridge. c. H.

ply. Sadness brooded over the counsel
table. Shortridge made a feeble at
tempt to jest, but for the most part
they ate in silence.
At Ruefs table there was an ami
mated discussion of the days events.
At the conclusion of the meal the
waiter approached with the check
rs this on the Grand Jury2" some
one asked. and Biggy settled all doubts
by discharging the obligation.
Ruef was allowed time to confer with
his attorneys. After Ach had whis-
pered TO Ruef for some moments, the
boss's attorney called Burns to one
side and spoke to him in low tones.
Ruef then bade goodnight to his law
department, sent messages by Hag
gerty and Cert to his family and friends
and was then placed in an automobile
and taken by Biggy to the St. Francis
Hotel. where he spent the night.
At the hotel Ruef received the news
paper men in his room, and, sitting
upon the bed. dictated a statement in
which he attacked Judge Dunno and
referred In cutting words 10 the eHsor.
Biggy was in the room and gave heed.
Are those references to me?" he
inquired. The Infection of his voice
and the peculiar sQuint Of his eyes
told Ruef that he had reached dan
gerous ground. The boss extended a
hurried apology.
NO, Mr.. Biggy.' he said. Il was not
referring to you. 1 would make no
such references to you before your
face" and then Ruef added. nor be-
hind your back for that matter"
Biggy accepted the apology and the
tension was relaxed

did not have them to himself. In the
room are two beds. Ruef occupied one

asked Heney.

Heney then catechised the witness
on the details OF his bootless excursions
10 questionable beach resorts and pub
lie restaurants in search of his elusive
friend. He learned that Walsh had
spent several hours in the Grand
saloon, but the Coroner confessed that
he did not expect to find Ruef there.
BIGGY APPOINTED ELIsoR
Eeney then fled an afldavit. entered
with the record of Walsh's search for
Ruef as evidence that the Coroner was
biased and pre5udiced and was not do

Judge Dunno granted the motion and

He was directed 10 report Monday at

The elisor then left the court and
promptly started on the hunt for Ruef
on which he was to accomplish in a
few hours what the unwilling Sheriff

At midnight Ruef gave out the fol-

Ruef was at the house of Ed Ewald.

to Trucadero, where we had heard
today that he might be.
II suppose they will try to get some
Judge to give them a writ OF habeas

would be to hide Ruef, and that we do

Ruef,s attorneys were in consulta-
tion until a late hour last night. There
is chagrin over the disastrous episode

his place on the rear seat between his
two captorS.
Arriving in the city shortly after 8
o'clock, the auto stopped In front of
Heneys office, while Biggy telephoned
to the District Attorney and to Judge
Dunno for instructions The delay was
prolonged for an hour. during which
time Ruef talked with his attorneys,
who had been waiting in Shortridge's s
office on the next corner and profgss-
ing total ignorance of the whereabouts
Of the boss.

thought he was still standing
Henry Ach then offered his condo
lence and wanted Burns to tell him
where his prisoner was to be taken for
the night, so that he would get him
out on a writ of habeas corpus.
II have got an engagement later, and
I am going to take my friend Burns
along with me. Burns and 1 are going
to the Bastile.'' was Ruefs facetious
response.
'Hows the Mayor" he inquired. and
was told that Schmitz was still busy
nese school question
AS the delay was prolonged, Ruef
professed a belief that II was q cruel
and unusual form of punishment and
therefore unconstitutional to keep him
in front OF Heney's office.
Senator, did you give bonds?" he
asked of Biggy, who replied that he had
not.
Then you have no right to hold
such valuable property as L aIu. Bur.
anyway, you can't convert mo-" Ruef
replied.
Behind the affected cheerfulness of
the captured fugitive was the i'll con-
cealed knowledge that this last move,
dictated by his reckless egotism, had
forejudged his case and lost for him
the following of all but the inner circle
of his heelers.
1t was 10 o'clock when he was finally
taken to the st. Francis and locked up
in a room under the guard of Biggy
and three Of Burns men, who were
sworn in for the occasion.
FLIGHT DISASTROUS
When asked to make a statement
of the reasons which had led him to
flight and hiding he tried to pass IL
off with a joke, saying that he was
taking a trip for his health. and had
not learned what a disturbance his
absence had made. Pressed for a seri>
Gus answer he had none to make, and
replied that after seeing his attorneys
he would issue statement.

so that they can eat what they

After few days use of Mi

all these symptoms of a weak
