Ach's Motions
Denied BY Dunno
Ruef' sLawyer Declares
Newspaper Editors
In Contempt

On account of the illness of Henry
Ach continuance was granted in the
Ruef trial yesterday, and the case
went over until this morning. Ach
coupled with his request for the re-
cess suggestion that the interval be
used for the summoning of 100 or
200" talesmen from the list of 1000.
Johnson, who had consented to the
first request, saw trick in the double
demand and protested Ach was then
compelled to separate his petitions,
and the one in reference to the sum-
moning of more jurors was denied.
In order to. further complicate the
prosecution of Ruef, Ach had pre-
pared petition for the citation of the
proprietor and managing editor of the
Chronicle to show cause why they
should not be committed for contempt
for the publication of an editorial ad-
monishing the court to send Ach to
jail IL ne COHIlnucQ III Ills tInDeTIlnenCe.
II see no reason for holding that the
court is Influenced by anything which
may be said in the newspapers relative
to this case" said the Judge II will
not allow the procedure here 70 be
swerved from the main course by any
newspaper controversy. The petition is
denied"
It appears that Aoh tx not the sole
owner OF the remarkable line Of
examination which, he has employed
to disquanfy Jurors Objectionable to
Ruef. When the matter of the oon-
tinuance was being discussed and It
had been suggested that other of the
array Of counsel might be able to con-
duct the case in Ach's absence. that
gentleman insisted that this was his
particular work.
TT seems that one other OF counsel
for the defense has been interested in
this examination. You are not the au-
thor and proprietor OF one line of the
examination which you have employed" !"
said the court IF remember rightly
it was first attempted by Mr.. Fairan
before Judge Nutter in Stockton
Ach protested that he had used the
method in the Eppinger cases.
There are now eleven Jurors in the
box, five of whom have been examined
Three others remain on this venire
Ach promises to use all OF his ten per-
emptory challenges after twelve men
have been passed without challenge for
cause, and his request for the sum-
mons of 100 or zoo more names indicates
that it will be some time before the
jury is finally selected.
The cases against Schmitz ana the
joint case against Dinan and Ruef were
called and continued for two weeks.
Schmitz was in the courtroom and in
conference with Ruef for several min
utes while they were waiting for their
cases to be called.
