her some DR.. Miles Anti-Pain

relief from such a source after
doctoring for so long, but took one
one of the tablets with the remark
that it would at least do her no
harm. She took another that

was so elatcd that she went to the

money from local French restaurant keep

When court adjourned at the end Of the
afternoon session, one talesman had been

facturer. Herman w. johnson, as special
for the prosecution, and Henry Ach. Of
counsel for Ruef, conducted the examina-
ton of talesmen.
The case chosen for trial first Is that in
which the Delmonico restaurant is in
volved. 1t was selected by the prosecution
as likely to present the strongest evidence
against Ruef on these minor charges OF
graft. Before the grand jury, Maifantia,
the principal proprietor Of the restaurant,
testified that he had paid Ruef 81, ,175 and
promised an additional payment Of $1,000
one year later because of fear. This fear
is regarded by the prosecution as the basis
OF the extortion, whereas the defense will
contend that the fear was not Of Ruef, but
OF the conditions that existed, and that
Ruef was retained to combat the probable
loss OF license. of which the owners Of the
