George B. Wilcutt, secretary and CON-
troller of the United Railroads. was re-
called by the prosecution when the trial
was resumed this morning He brought
with him the corporations journal and
ledger for the months of May, June and
July of 1906 called for yesterday by AS
sistant District Attorney Heney as a
result of Wilcutt's declaration that these
books carried entries of the 100000 al
legedly expended in the bribery Of
Schmitz and the supervisors through
Ruef. The books, however, were not
examined by either side.
Entry Made Recently
Secretary Wilcutt admitted that no en-
try of the 100000 was made in the books
prior to September 20, 1906
The allegation in the indictment on
which Ford is being tried is that this
fund was expended in July and August
of that year. Mr. Willcutt never saw
any vouchers for this 100000. though the
voucher system was used by the corpor-
alton in the accounting OF sizable sums
Adverting to the 1ong-continued alb
sence from the city OF George A. Starr
treasurer of the United Railroads, Heney
asked Wilcutt If it was not a fact that
Starr and himself and several other en-
ployes of the corporation had been sub
poenaed before the grand Jury and had
refused to testify; that Calhoun, Null
lally, Ford and Abbott were indicted In
May, 1907; that Starr had left San Fran
CISCO in the following July and failed to
return. He answered affirmatively.
The prosecution called Adam M. Doll
lar, assistant cashier of the United Rail-
roads. He corroborated Secretary VIII
cutt in many particulars and added the
information that many of the company's
vouchers were taken to New York by
firm of accountants in that city, which
for years has annually audited the COR
poration's books. and never had been re-
turned. 8s
Charles Holbrook well-lnown San
Francisco merchant and director from
the United Railroads, testified to having
had no knowledge of the employment of
Ruef as an attorney or otherwise or Of
the receipt or expenditure Of the mooted

This is an attempt toward an unwar-
ranted intrusion of General Ford's pri-
vate affairs. We might with as much
propriety ask you what your salary Is,
Mr.. Heney."

Judge Lawlor ruled that Mr.. Holbrook
