The Supposed Star Witness Ruef Was Not
 Called to the Stand
The Defense Electing to Offer No Testimony, Argu- ments Were Begun---A Prediction that the Jury Will Not Agree.

to the fierce and almost endless cross examination that would have followed positive testimony by him accusatory of Ford; that the prosecution took the chance of the offering of testimony by the defense. and held Ruef back for rebuttal, only to be cheated of the benefit of his testimony by the tactics of Fords counsel
 Rogers today confined himself to a summarization. inspection and ar rangemeno of-the evidence of the pros- ecution. He claimed that it was es- tablished by the mass of testimony of the bribed supervisors that they got the money from Chairman Gallagher of the finance committee and that Gallagher got it from Ruef; that Ford withdrew from the mint sub treasury sums totalling s2OO.O00. simultaneously with the alleged payments
 Moore addressing the jury. spoke to Ford as mo more in the eyes of the law than the veriest wandering vag- rant without a God or a home. ragged and hungry" He spurned the case of the prosecution as having "a broken back" and being utterly destitute of facts. He called attention to the fail ure of the people to offer word of evidence that Ford ever made a cor rupt bargain. or any bargain, with
 Ruef or that he ever gave Ruef one cent of money" and he cited the jury to the fact that under the law of the state the failure of the prosecution to call Ruef to the stand argues a pre- sumption that his testimony would have supported the defense.
 He characterized the supervisors as sooundrelly rascals. pack of ravening wolves who had no thought of being paid for voting the trolley franchise until after the passage. when they sur rounded Ruef and clamored until he threw them meat. A very large crowd was in attendance all day

San Francisco, Oct. 2.-Notwith- standing the Tirey L. Ford defense today subpoenaed Abraham Ruef as a witness, when the time came for the introduction of evidence by the de- fense, the attorneys for the alleged bribe givers refused to offer any tes- timony. thus blocking any intent the prosecution may have had to make Ruef rebuttal witness.
 Both sides went to argument, the people without having adduced a par ticle of direct evidence connecting the accused with the commission of the crime charged. and the defense with out having offered a sworn word in its own behalf.
 Assistant District Attorney Rogers made the opening speech for the prosecution, speaking from 2:30 until 30 D. m. with less than fifteen min- utes for recess. Following him Attor- ney A. A.

 Various stories are afloat as to the causes that kept Ruef off the stand but none are authenticated. It is said that he refused to duplicate the in dicted officials of the United Railroads in the briberies of the supervisors maintaining that he merely divided his s20O.0O0 fee" with them; that the prosecution was afraid to subject him

NEW LAUNDRY
EQUIPMENT
Is Arriving For the Spacious New
Quarters of the Clarksburg
Steam Laundry.

Messrs. slayton & Bryan have be-
gun TO install new machinery for
their laundry. which will be located
about February on pike street in
the stone building erected for the
purpose near the bridge just west of
the Catholic church.
The mammoth Atlas boiler has ar
rived from indianapolis and was
transferred Friday from the station
to the laundry building. It took six
horses to haul 1t and its passing
through the street caused consider
able excitement and much interest.
This is the first piece of a large
quantity of new equipment this pio-
neer and enterprising laundry firm
will have. They have prepared to
have the most completely equipped
laundry in the State and guarantee
the best and promptest work.
There will be no shutdown OF the
business while they are moving.
All their numerous patrons will be
served as If these were no Interrupt
tion at all in the running of the
machinery. In this respect they ex-
pect to give the people a picture OF
remarkable feat of running a Iaun-
dry in full blast. while moving It.
The slayton 6 Bryan laundry IS
quite popular. 1t is known as the
clarksburg Steam Laundry and has
very largely increased its business
the past several months. Its several
wagons are busy all the time and the
present equipment is running in full
blast constantly. The new quarters
and the large amount of new and
costly machinery will doubtless in
crease the trade even more rapidly.

use some more than the others. but

that fact would even up the rate.
