NEW GRAND JURY BILL
Ruef Assemblyman Would Change the
Present System

SACRAMENTO. Feb. ia bill to
change the Grand jury system was in
troduced in the Assembly today by
Nathan c. Coghlan, one of Abe Ruefs
representatives from San Francisco.
Coghlan would make a trial court of
the inquisitorial body and also pro-
vide some wonderful facilities for
whitewashing accused officials. The
proffered amendment to the present
law reads as follows:
The Grand Jury is bound. upon application
made by the defendant. to hear evidence from.
for On behalf OF the defendant: and il is their
duty 10 weigh all the evidence submitted TO
them. and when they have reason 10 believe that
other evidence within their reach will explain
away the charge they should order such evidence
TO be provided. and for that purpose may require
the District Attorney to issue process for the
witnesses.
1t is presumed that Coghlan acts for
the municipal administration of San
Francisco. and in seeking to hamper
or block future Investigations is mere
ly carrying out orders. The plea to
be made in behalf of the bill is that
it asks only for fair play for defend
ants. 1t is not likely that specific men
tion will be made of either Mayor
Schmitz or Abe Ruef.

Charged With Perjury
for Aiding Lover
Grace Eaton Arrested
After Testifying in
Pembroke Case

OAKLAND. Feb. 13.-Miss Grace
Eaton. the beautiful young sweet
heart of Percy Pembroke. was or
dered into the custody of Sheriff Bar
net by District Attorney Brown to-
day as she left the witness-stand, after
testifying for her lover This action
was taken because District Attorney
, Brown claims that the girl committed
perjury in testifying to an alleged
conversation she had recently with
Sheriff Barnet
Miss Eaton was a constant attend
ant at the Pembroke trial until she
and the other witnesses were or
dered by the Judge not to stay in the
courtroom until called to give testi-
mony. After this she and Mrs. Penn
broke, Percys mother. sat in an ad-
journing courtroom while the trial
was going on before Judge Murphy.
When called to the stand today on
behalf of her lover Miss Eaton de-
clared that one night between last
Christmas and New Year Sheriff Bar
net came up to her on the street after
she had been holding conversation
with Percy Pembroke and said to
her that no woman could afford to be
seen talking with Percy because of
his black reputation. District Attor-
ney Brown failed to get the witness
to retract this statement by a Wig
orous ross-examinat:on.
Sheriff Barnet himself took the girl
into custody and conveyed her to the
County Jail Attorney Church. the
defendants lawyer. made formal OBJ
lection to the arrest of Miss Eaton in
the presence of the jury. although ad-
hitting the right of the District At
torney to order that she be placed in
custody. W. ]. Pembroke, Percy's
brother. accompanied the girl to the
door of the jail. He cautioned her to
talk to no one. This injunction she
obeyed with great care.
Sheriff Barnet, when seen after the
arrest of Miss Eaton, declared that
her testimony concerning a conversa-
tion with him was a fabrication. He
said that he had never talked with
the girl in his life and that he was
prepared to prove this.
The purpose of Miss Eaton's testi-
mony was to show that Sheriff Bar
net was prejudiced against Percy
Pembroke and thus to shake his dam
aging evidence as to the boys con-
fessions in the County Jail Pembroke
himself took the stand this afternoon
and declared that he had not assisted
James Crowhurst to hold up Edward
Stanley in East Oakland. and that he
had never confessed to this robbery at
the County Jail.
