agent living at 1901 Second av., was
fined 500 and costs in police court
this afternoon by Justice Hinkle.

beating. In passing sentence the

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-
In the grip Of what he believed to
be his last illness, Supervisor w.
w. Sanderson months ago gave
Francis J. Heney his first real en-
lightenment on the prodigious
graft in this city.
Then Sanderson obtained leave
of absence and departed for Ari-
IONA to make his fight against tu-
berculosis.
Instead Of falling a victim to the
disease, Sanderson's condition inn
proved.
Heney paid him a visit in Ari-
IONA. He obtained more facts.
Then he induced Sanderson to
return and make a full breast of
the entire affair.
On the Sunday before the great
denouement Sanderson divulged his
entire story.
This was confirmed when on the
following day supervisor after SUI
pervisor tumbled over themselves
in their effort to make good with
the prosecution and secure the
promise of immunity for confession
Then came Sanderson with his
statements to the grand jury.
1t was a tale of Ruef's perf1dy
and his own weakness, and his
story did a lot toward Tightening
the grip Heney had already on the
suspected political boss and the
easy tool, Mayor Schmitz.
