END OF GRAFT INQUIRY.

Another Batch of Indictments Ex-
pected at San Francisco.
San Francisco, May G..-This week,

prosecution announced their intention
Of exposing is we'll in hand and batch
of indictments will, it is expected, be

trict Attorney Langdon stated that the
conclusion of the gigantic work is now
but matter of few days. He said:
"The grand jury's work is practically
at an end and SO far as the investi-
cation of the matters which we have
undertaken is concerned should be
concluded by the end of the week.
Certain matters must still be inquired
into, but the evidence against all those

is about concluded"

CHANGE OF VENUE DENIED
Judge Dunno Will Preside at Trial of
Mayor Schmitz.


Mayor Schmitz.
San Francisco, May 22.-The larg-
est crowd that has thus far been at
tracted by any of the proceedings in
the graft investigation and prosecu-
ton was in attendance in the supe-
rior court when Mayor Schmitz made
his appearance on the charge of ex-
torting money from local French res
tauranters with the connivance of
Abraham Ruef. Not only was the
courtroom crowded to it's utmost ca
pacity but scores of people stood on
the benches in order to catch a
glimpse of the defendant and lose no
incident of the proceedings.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
read affidavits sworn to by himself
and Judge Dunno denying categorically
the allegation made in the affidavits
filed last Saturday by the defense in
support of the motion for a substitu-
ton of trial judge.
Mr.. Heney, in reading his own affi-
davit, threw intense feeling into his
voice and gestures. He denied with
the greatest emphasis that he or those
who are associated with him in the
prosecution have any Interior motives
that they desire any political prefer
ment or municipal Office or that they
have any purpose whatever beyond
the publication Of the municipality
and the punishment of those whom
they may accuse Of corrupt practices.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the afidavits Judge Dunno denied the
motion for the change Of trial Judge.

new SPECIAL VEN|RE
Sixty More TaleSmen Ordered in
the Haywood Case.
TRIAL GOES OVER TWO DAYS

Adjournment Taken in Order to Give
the Sheriff Time to Subpoena Pros
pecttve Jurors-Seat No. the Only
One Now Vacant.
Boise, Ida, May 22.-The special
venire of talesmen in the Steunen-
berg murder trial was exhausted at
10:45 a. m. and Judge Wood at once
adjourned the trial for two days to
permit Sheriff Hodgin to gather an
other venire of sixty men.
There were only nine men of the
old special venire left when the trial
was resumed and they went very
quickly. Five were examined and
excused under challenge for bias in
thirty-ive minutes. The sixth man.
Levi Smith, a farmer, was, after an
extended examination, accepted and
given seat No. 10, just vacated by
John Fisher, upon whom the defense
exercised its sixth peremptory chal-
lenge. After the acceptance of Levi
Smith Juror Orrie Cole, who is in
bad health, was excused by consent of
both sides, it being feared that his
condition might seriously interfere
with the trial.
Of the last three talesmen two were
opposed to capital punishment and
the third had strong fixed opinion
as to the guilt or innocence of Will
lam D. Haywood, the prisoner at bar.
The jury as it now stands is as fol-
lows: Thomas B. Gessal, fire insur-
ance and real estate agent: Isaac
Bedell, farmer; Samuel S. Gilman,
farmer; Daniel Clark, farmer; George
Powell, farmer; John Whitlock nur-

ton; A. P. Burns, no present occupa-
ton, and Samuel Russell, farmer. Seat
